                   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 29, 1995.

The results of operations for the three months ended January 27, 1996, are not 
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.


2.  Inventories

Inventories consist of:

                            January 27,          July 29, 
       		                      1996                1995	
	Raw materials	                $478	              $1,036
	Work in process	             1,894	               2,613
	Finished goods 	             5,444	               6,105
                            	$7,816               $9,754

3.  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.

During the second quarter of 1996, the Company paid the interest payment due 
December 1, 1995 on its outstanding 8 7/8% Convertible Subordinated Debentures 
due 2006. The payment was made within the grace period allowed under the 
Indenture dated as of June 1, 1981. While payment of this $2.9 million interest
payment was funded from internal sources, in order for the Company to meet 
certain of its obligations, including the $2.9 million interest payment due June
1, 1996, the Company is pursuing actions to provide additional cash infusions 
and/or reduce its cost base.  In this regard, during the first quarter of 1996,
the Company signed a letter of intent with Automatic Data Processing ("ADP") to
sell to ADP the Company's European based Auto Dealer Systems business for $32 
million.  Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of 1996, negotiations with
ADP were terminated.  Also,  subsequent to the end of the second quarter, the 
Company entered into a non-exclusive Heads of Agreement with Kalamazoo Computer
Group, PLC. ("Kalamazoo"), a provider of automotive dealer management systems 
based in the United Kingdom.  While the specific terms of the agreement will not
be known until an agreement, if any, is completed, the agreement would provide 
for a joint venture in which Kalamazoo will have a 51% interest and the Company
a 49% interest, as well as a payment to the Company of $15.5 million. The joint
venture would combine the Company's European-based Auto Dealer Systems business
(other than its United Kingdom operations) with Kalamazoo's Netherlands 
operations.  The joint venture agreement, if completed, is expected to be 
implemented during the third quarter of 1996.

During 1993, the Company settled a long standing patent-related legal action 
brought against it by Northern Telecom Inc. ("NTI").  Pursuant to this 
settlement, during 1994 and 1993, the Company paid NTI $1.0 million and $7.5 
million, respectively.  The Company also agreed to a ten-year note payable to 
NTI  which requires annual $1.0 million payments each December.  The Company is
presently in arrears on the December 1994 and December 1995 payments.  On 
September 13, 1995, NTI notified the Company that it had declared the entire 
note immediately due and payable, which as of July 29, 1995 was $6.6 million.  
The Company entered into discussions with NTI to remedy this payment default 
and, subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 1996, the Company and NTI 
reached a new agreement to cure the arrearages whereby both the December 1994 
and December 1995 payments would be made on or before January 31, 1996.  The 
Company and NTI subsequently amended the agreement such that the schedule for 
the two payments in arrears would be extended to a period not to exceed the end
of the third quarter of 1996.  The Company is also contingently obligated to 
make payments to NTI dependent upon the Company's future profitability.  The 
contingent payments, up to a cumulative maximum of $12.5 million, are to be paid
in annual installments calculated at 33-1/3% of the Company's pre-tax annual 
profits, excluding extraordinary items, in excess of $10.0 million in each of 
the 10 fiscal years beginning with fiscal 1993.  During 1995, 1994 and 1993, the
Company incurred no liability to make such contingent payments as a result of 
the net losses incurred.

As a result of the Company's capital deficiency which existed at the end of 
1994, 1995 and throughout the second quarter of 1996, the Company  is 
prohibited, under Delaware law, to pay the October 15, 1994, January 15, 1995, 
April 15, 1995, July 15, 1995, October 15, 1995 and January 15, 1996 preferred 
dividend payments to shareholders.  On January 16, 1996, the Company announced 
that  the preferred dividend payments were six full quarters in arrears, and 
that, as such,  each holder of $1.00 preferred stock has the right to exchange 
each such share into two shares of the Company's common stock.  In addition, the
number of directors constituting the Board of Directors of the Company will be 
increased by two and holders of the $1.00 preferred stock (not including those 
who have exchanged $1.00 preferred stock for the Company's common stock), voting
as a single class, will have the opportunity to elect two directors of the 
Company to fill such newly created directorships at the next annual meeting of 
shareholders. These rights continue until such time as the arrearages have been 
paid in full.  The Company had 1,930,656 shares of its $1.00 preferred stock 
outstanding at January 27, 1996.

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

Overview

During the second quarter of 1996, the Company continued to achieve its 
objectives of maintaining a consistent revenue level and tight cost control.  
The effect of the two factors resulted in revenue generation of $43.3 million, 
operating income of $1.6 million and a positive cash flow from operations of 
$3.6 million.  After considering the effect of the Company's investing and 
financing activities, the Company had a net income of $63 thousand, the first 
quarterly net income since the second quarter of 1994.

Despite these improved results, the Company's cash and cash equivalents 
decreased $2.1 million.  In order for the Company to meet certain of its
obligations, including the $2.9 million interest payment due June 1, 1996, the 
Company is pursuing actions to provide additional cash infusions and/or reduce 
its cost base.  In this regard, during the first quarter of 1996, the Company 
signed a letter of intent with Automatic Data Processing ("ADP") to sell to ADP
the Company's European based Auto Dealer Systems business for $32 million.  
Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of 1996, negotiations with ADP were
terminated.  Also,  subsequent to the end of the second quarter, the Company 
entered into a non-exclusive Heads of Agreement with Kalamazoo Computer Group, 
PLC. ("Kalamazoo"), a provider of automotive dealer management systems based in
the United Kingdom.  While the specific terms of the agreement will not be known
until an agreement, if any, is completed, the agreement would provide for a 
joint venture in which Kalamazoo will have a 51% interest and the Company a 49%
interest, as well as a payment to the Company of $15.5 million. The joint 
venture would combine the Company's European-based Auto Dealer Systems business
(other than its United Kingdom operations) with Kalamazoo's Netherlands 
operations.  The joint venture agreement, if completed, is expected to be 
implemented during the third quarter of 1996.

As a result of the Company's capital deficiency which existed at the end of
1994, 1995 and throughout the second quarter of 1996, the Company  is 
prohibited, under Delaware law, to pay the October 15, 1994, January 15, 1995,
April 15, 1995, July 15, 1995, October 15, 1995 and January 15, 1996 preferred
dividend payments to shareholders.  On January 16, 1996, the Company announced
that the preferred dividend payments were six full quarters in arrears, and 
that, as such, each holder of $1.00 preferred stock has the right to exchange 
each such share into two shares of the Company's common stock.  In addition, the
number of directors constituting the Board of Directors of the Company will be 
increased by two and holders of the $1.00 preferred stock (not including those
who have exchanged $1.00 preferred stock for the Company's common stock), voting
as a single class, will have the opportunity to elect two directors of the 
Company to fill such newly created directorships at the next annual meeting of
shareholders. These rights continue until such time as the arrearages have been
paid in full.  The Company had 1,930,656 shares of its $1.00 preferred stock 
outstanding at January 27, 1996.

During the first quarter of 1996, the Company also signed a letter of intent for
Vertical Financial Holdings, to become a joint venture partner with the Company
in spinning off the Company's Multimedia Information Network Exchange ("MINX")
video conferencing patents and operations into separate entities.  While 
discussions with Vertical Financial Holdings were terminated in the second 
quarter of 1996, the Company is continuing its efforts to enter into
discussions with a suitable partner to exploit the development and marketing
of its MINX video networking technology.

Results of Operations

The Company had operating income of $1.6 million and net income of $63 thousand
for the second quarter of 1996 and operating income of $3.2 million and net loss
of $1.1 million for the first six months of 1996.  This compares with an 
operating loss of $12.7 million and a net loss of $12.7 million for the second 
quarter of 1995 and an operating loss of $16.0 million and a net loss of $19.2 
million for the first six months of 1995.  The following is a summary of the
Company's sources of revenue:

                          	   Three Months Ended   	      Six Months Ended
	 (In thousands)             	01/27/96  	01/28/95       	01/27/96  	01/28/95
 
   Sales:
	   U.S. 	                      $751	      $1,306	         $1,989	    $3,041
	   Foreign 	                 21,647	      17,043	         44,895	    29,650
    			                       22,398	      18,349	         46,884	    32,691
   Service and other:
	   U.S.               	         232          392	            499	       710
	   Foreign              	    20,658	      22,452	         41,488	    44,899
       		                     20,890	      22,844	         41,987	    45,609

   Total revenue          	  $43,288	     $41,193	        $88,871 	  $78,300

Total revenue during the second quarter of 1996 increased $2.1 million, or 5.1%,
compared with the same period of the prior year.  This increase was primarily
due to the favorable impact of $2.1 million resulting from the weakening U.S.
dollar as compared to the same period of the prior year.  For the first six 
months of 1996, total revenue increased $10.6 million or 13.5% when compared
with the same period of the prior year.  This increase was primarily 
attributable to higher sales in certain of the Company's European subsidiaries,
a favorable impact of the weakening U.S. dollar when compared with the same 
period a year ago,  offset by a declining maintenance revenue base in the 
European subsidiaries.

The gross profit margin for the second quarter and first six months of 1996 was
33.1% and 32.8%, respectively, compared with 24.4% and 31.5% for the same 
periods of the prior year.  The increase was primarily due to the inventory 
write-downs recorded in the second quarter of 1995,  offset by the impact of a
changing product mix and competitive pricing pressures worldwide.

Operating expenses (research and development plus selling, general and 
administrative) during the second quarter of 1996 and for the first six months
of 1996  decreased $4.4 million and $9.1 million, respectively, as compared with
the same periods a year ago.  The decreases are due primarily to the realization
of the various cost reduction activities which the Company has implemented 
throughout the last year.  

Non-operating income and expenses for the three months ended January 27, 1996
includes interest expense of $2.1 million offset by $1.1 million of transaction
gains as a result of the strengthening U.S. dollar against foreign currencies
during the last three months.  Non-operating results for the first six months of
1995 include a gain on the sale of vacant land in San Antonio, Texas of $1.7 
million.

Financial Condition

During the first six months of 1996, the Company's cash provided from operations
increased $3.6 million.  Primarily, this increase was the result of strong 
receivable collections, coupled with a tight inventory management program, 
offset by a decrease in the foreign subsidiaries' restructuring expenses.

The Company used $1.6 million for the purchase of fixed assets (primarily test
equipment, spares and internally used equipment) during the first six months of
1996.

For the six month period ended January 27, 1996, the Company used $3.6 million
in financing activities, primarily consisting of paydowns of Company debt
approximating $18.2 million offset by additional borrowings of $14.0 million.

<PAGE>

During 1993, the Company settled a long standing patent-related legal action 
brought against it by Northern Telecom Inc. ("NTI").  Pursuant to this 
settlement, during 1994 and 1993, the Company paid NTI $1.0 million and $7.5
million, respectively.  The Company also agreed to a ten-year note payable to 
NTI  which requires annual $1.0 million payments each December.  The Company is
presently in arrears on the December 1994 and December 1995 payments.  On 
September 13, 1995, NTI notified the Company that it had declared the entire 
note immediately due and payable, which as of July 29, 1995 was $6.6 million.  
The Company entered into discussions with NTI to remedy this payment default 
and, subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 1996, the Company and NTI 
reached a new agreement to cure the arrearages whereby both the December 1994 
and December 1995 payments would be made on or before January 31, 1996.  The 
Company and NTI subsequently amended the agreement such that the schedule for 
the two payments in arrears would be extended to a period not to exceed the end
of the third quarter of 1996.  The Company is also contingently obligated to 
make payments to NTI dependent upon the Company's future profitability.  The 
contingent payments, up to a cumulative maximum of $12.5 million, are to be paid
in annual installments calculated at 33-1/3% of the Company's pre-tax annual 
profits, excluding extraordinary items, in excess of $10.0 million in each of 
the 10 fiscal years beginning with fiscal 1993.  During 1995, 1994 and 1993, the
Company incurred no liability to make such contingent payments as a result of 
the net losses incurred.

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.

A rollforward of the restructuring accrual from July 31, 1993 through to January
27, 1996 is as follows:

                                                    				    TOTAL

1996, which related almost entirely to unpaid employee termination costs, is as
follows:

Third quarter 1996	                                       $1,587
Fourth quarter 1996	                                         205
First quarter 1997	                                           39
Second quarter 1997	                                          22
Beyond		                                                     133
