DATAPOINT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in thousands, except share data)
(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 
and Form 10-K for the year ended July 30, 1994.

The results of operations for the three months ended January 28, 1995, 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.  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 were 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.  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.

3.  Inventories

Inventories consist of:

           	     		January 28,      July 30, 
       		              1995           1994	
	Raw materials	       $1,950	        $5,657
	Work in process	      2,304	         1,601
	Finished goods 	      7,395	        10,416
                     $11,649	       $17,674

4.  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.

5.  Common Stock

In August 1994 the Company sold 700,000 shares of its common stock held in 
treasury for $1,750 in a transaction outside the United States pursuant to 
Regulation S of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Company utilized 
the proceeds for working capital needs.  In addition, in September 1994, the 
Company reached an agreement with Intelogic Trace, Inc. ("Intelogic"), in 
conjunction with Intelogic's court approved reorganization, to cancel its 
option to repurchase at $.75 per share, its common stock held by Intelogic in 
exchange for all of the Company's holding of Intelogic Preferred Stock, which 
had no carrying value.  As a result of the exchange, the Company received from 
Intelogic 2,400,000 shares of Datapoint common stock.

6.  Income Taxes

Income taxes for the first six months of 1995 were $80 on a pre-tax loss of 
$14,905.  The income taxes were the result of profitable operations at 
certain European subsidiaries which could not be offset against the overall 
consolidated loss.

7.  Subsequent Event

A hearing has been scheduled in the New Castle County Delaware Chancery Court 
for May 8, 1995 to consider whether the proposed settlements in two stockholder 
derivative litigations should be approved by the Court as fair, reasonable and 
in the best interests of the stockholders of the Company.  These lawsuits are 
Heineman vs. Datapoint Corporation, et al. ("Heineman I"), Case No. 7956 and 
Heineman vs. Datapoint Corporation, et al. (Heineman II"), Case No. 8873, 
respectively.  Subject to court approval, the settlement in Heineman I provides 
for the payment of $2,000, plus interest, less plaintiff's attorneys fees, 
costs and expenses to the Company.  Further, if the Heineman I settlement is 
approved, the Company will amend its bylaws within 60 days of the effective 
date of the settlement so that effective upon adoption of the amendment, any 
employment agreement between the Company and its officers who serve on the 
Board of Directors shall not be approved or amended by the Board unless first 
approved by a Board committee consisting entirely of non-employee, independent 
directors.  Subject to court approval, the settlement in Heineman II provides 
for the payment of $3,540 less plaintiff's attorneys fees, costs and expenses 
to the Company.  Further, if the Heineman II settlement is approved, 
the Company will amend its bylaws within 60 days of the effective date of 
the settlement to provide that, effective upon adoption of the amendment, any 
transaction between any board member who is a 5% or more holder of the 
Company's common stock (or any affiliate of such a stockholder) shall be 
reviewed and recommended by a committee of the Board consisting entirely of 
non-employee, independent directors.  The settlement of the Heineman I 
litigation is contingent upon court approval of the settlement in Heineman II.
Similarly, the settlement of the Heineman II litigation is contingent upon 
court approval of the settlement in Heineman I.

Provided the proposed settlements are approved by the Delaware Chancery Court, 
the Company expects to receive proceeds of approximately $4,000 after attorney 
fees and plans to utilize such cash infusion for the operating and financing 
requirements of the Company.



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

Overview

During the first six months of 1995, the Company continued to experience 
operating losses due to a significant decline in sales revenue and sales gross 
profit margins.  The Company continued the restructuring of its worldwide 
operations as cost cutting actions were taken in all of the significant 
operations of the Company.  These actions resulted in a charge of $5.7 million 
during the second quarter of 1995 and consisted of $3.8 million in personnel 
reduction costs and $1.9 million in fixed asset write-downs for unutilized 
assets.  In addition the Company recorded $4.5 million in inventory write-downs 
due to the obsolscence of certain of the Company's older product lines.  The 
decline in sales revenue and sales gross profit margins and the worldwide 
restructuring resulted in an operating loss of $12.7 million in the second 
quarter and $16.0 million for the first six months of 1995 and negative cash 
flows from operations of $6.1 million for the first six months of 1995.

The Company recorded $3.8 million of charges during the second quarter of 1995 
as a result of the implementation of a reorganization plan for the U.S. 
headquarters, European headquarters and all of the Company's European 
subsidiaries excluding France and Italy.  Management implemented the plan as a 
result of the revenue decline in Europe and reduced both subsidiary personnel 
and headquarter personnel primarily in general and administrative support 
positions.  Sales and service support personnel were essentially not affected 
by this reduction.  The reduction will reduce the operating cash flow 
requirements while not significantly affecting the revenue generating portions 
of the business. 

The operating loss during the second quarter of 1995 was narrowed from the last 
two quarters of 1994 due to the reorganization of the French subsidiary 
recorded during the fourth quarter of 1994 which resulted in savings of $2.4 
million during the second quarter and $4.8 million for the first six months 
of 1995.  The reorganization of the French subsidiary resulted in reduced 1995 
quarterly costs and expenses of $2.4 million.  In addition, the write-off of 
goodwill in the fourth quarter of 1994 resulted in reduced quarterly 
amortization expense of $.5 million.  These actions coupled with the 
restructuring actions taken in the second quarter of 1995 and planned continued 
measures to be taken in the third quarter of 1995 will improve the Company's 
operating performance and improve the Company's cash liquidity position.

During the first half of 1995, the Company had one-time cash infusions from the 
sale of vacant land in San Antonio, Texas of ($7.2 million), the sale of 
700,000 shares of common stock ($1.8 million), settlement proceeds received 
from a defendant in patent infringement litigation ($1.0 million), the final 
insurance payment related to the fire in the Belgian subsidiary ($1.5 million 
included in accounts receivables collections).  The proceeds from the sale of 
property were partially utilized to extinguish a term loan facility with 
The CIT Group/Credit Finance ($.9 million).

In addition to these one-time cash infusions, subsequent to the second quarter, 
the Company was the beneficiary of the proposed settlement of two derivative 
action suits.  Provided the proposed settlements are approved by the Delaware 
Chancery Court, the Company expects to receive proceeds of approximately $4.0 
million after attorney fees and plans to utilize such cash infusion for the 
operating and financing requirements of the Company.  The Company will 
continue to pursue additional one-time cash infusions as a means of augmenting 
cash during the remainder of 1995.  Although there are a number of these 
available, no assurances can be given that the efforts to pursue such cash 
infusions will be successful in any case.

Results of Operations

The Company had an operating loss and net loss of $12.7 million for the second 
quarter of 1995 and an operating loss of $16.0 million and net loss of $19.2 
million for the first six months of 1995.  This compares with operating income 
of $2.0 million and net income of $.5 million for the second quarter of 1994 
and net income of $1.7 million and a net loss of $.5 million for the first six 
months of 1994.  The following is a summary of the Company's sources of 
revenue:

                          	 Three Months Ended   	   Six Months Ended	     
(In thousands)            	01/28/95  	01/29/94   	01/28/95  	01/29/94
 
Sales:
	U.S. 	                      $1,306	    $1,490	     $3,041	    $3,811
	Foreign 	                   17,043	    21,816	     29,650	    38,824
                       			   18,349	    23,306	     32,691	    42,635
Service and other:
	U.S. 	                         392 	      264	        710	       596
	Foreign	                    22,452	    21,216	     44,899	    43,203
       		                    22,844	    21,480	     45,609	    43,799

Total revenue 	             $41,193	   $44,786	    $78,300	   $86,434

Revenue during the second quarter of 1995 declined $3.6 million, compared with 
the same period of the prior year.  Foreign sales revenues, and to a lesser 
extent service and other revenue, for both the second quarter and the first 
six months of 1995 declined significantly as performance in certain European 
subsidiaries deteriorated as the Company experienced a slowdown in new orders.  
The slowdown was partially offset by the weakening of the U.S. dollar 
throughout the first half of fiscal 1995 which favorably impacted foreign sales 
revenue by $1.8 million and $2.3 million for the second quarter and first six 
months of 1995 and service and other revenue by $1.5 million and $3.5 million 
for the same periods.     

The gross profit margin for the second quarter and first six months of 1995 was 
24.4% and 31.5% , respectively, compared with 42.9% and 42.0% for the same 
periods of the prior year.  The decline was due the inventory write-downs 
recorded in the second quarter of 1995 and to a lesser extent to a change in 
product mix and vendors.  Operating expenses (research and development plus 
selling, general & administrative) during the second quarter of 1995 declined 
slightly and was essentially flat for the first six months of 1995 as compared 
to the same period of the prior years.  Reorganization actions recorded 
during the fourth quarter of 1994 generated $2.9 million of cost savings during 
both the second quarter and first six months of 1995.  These savings were 
partially offset by the weakened U.S. dollar which resulted in an increase 
in operating costs and expenses of $1.2 million and $1.8 million, 
respectively, for the second quarter and first six months of 1995.

Non-operating income and expenses includes a gain of $1.7 million on the sale 
of vacant land in San Antonio, Texas, whereas, non-operating results for the 
second quarter and first six months of 1994 included fire settlement gains on 
fixed assets of $0.8 million.  Interest expense increased during the second 
quarter and first six months of 1995 as compared to the same periods of the 
prior year due primarily to rising interest rates on borrowings in certain 
countries as the level of borrowings has actually declined slightly 
during the comparison periods.

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 $.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.  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 were 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 fiscal year 1994.

Financial Condition

During the first six months of 1995, the Company's cash and cash equivalents 
declined $.1 million.  Cash remained flat during this time period as 
substantial one-time cash infusions from the sale of land, sale of common 
stock, insurance proceeds, and legal settlement proceeds coupled with 
operating activities which emphasized inventory reductions and receivables 
collections were essentially offset by the operating loss, payments on 
borrowings and reductions of accounts payable.

As of January 28, 1995, the Company had restricted cash and cash equivalents of 
$4.0 million which was restricted primarily to cover various lines of credits. 

As of January 28, 1995, the Company has included in payables to banks an amount 
of $6.5 million payable to International Factors "De Factorij" B.V., a 
subsidiary of ABN-AMRO Bank of the Netherlands.  The loan is secured by the 
receivables of the Company's U.K., Dutch and German subsidiaries.  The Company 
paid down the loan by $1.0 million during the first quarter of 1995 and is in 
discussion with other various potential sources of financing to reduce the 
borrowings by a further $1.5 million.  Upon conclusion of such financing the 
borrowings with International Factors B.V. will be secured by the U.K. and 
Dutch receivables.

As an additional means of preserving cash flow for operations, the Company's 
Board of Directors elected to defer the October 15, 1994 and January 15, 1995 
preferred dividend payment to shareholders.  If dividends are six quarters in 
arrears, the preferred stock shareholders have the right to vote as a separate 
class and elect two board members at the next annual meeting of shareholders 
and each preferred share is exchangeable into two shares of common stock at 
the option of the holder.
