QUANTUM CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)


1. Basis of presentation

      The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for
a fair presentation of the results for the periods shown.  The results of
operations for such periods are
not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full
fiscal year.  The accompanying financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the audited financial statements of Quantum Corporation for
the fiscal year ended March 31, 1994.


2. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short Term Investments

      The Company has classified all cash and highly liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less at the
date of acquisition as cash equivalents.  All other liquid investments are
classified
as short-term investments.  The Company invests primarily in short
term debt securities of companies with strong credit ratings from a
variety of industries.  The Company has not experienced any material losses on
its investments.  The Company, by
Corporate policy, limits the amount of credit exposure to any one
issuer and to any one type of investment.


3. Change in Method of Accounting for Certain Investments

      Effective April 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No.
115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities."  In accordance with the Statement, prior period
financial statements have not been restated to reflect the change
in accounting principle.
The cumulative effect as of April 1, 1994 of adopting Statement 115
was immaterial.  The Company has classified its entire investment
portfolio as available-for-sale.

Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with material unrealized
gains and losses reported in stockholder's equity. 
The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for amortization
of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity.  Such
amortization is included in interest income along with interest earned.  Realized
gains or losses and declines in value judged to
be other-than-temporary on available-for-sale securities are
reported as investment income or investment expense.  The cost of
securities sold is based on the specific identification method.


The following is a summary of available-for-sale securities at July
3, 1994:

Available-for-Sale Securities
(In thousands)

                                                         Cost

Corporate commercial paper and bank notes               $199,558
Certificates of deposit                                   89,504
U.S. Treasury securities and obligations
  of U.S. government agencies                              9,687
Other                                                      1,297
                                                        $300,046

Amounts included in short-term investments              $119,797
Amounts included in cash and cash equivalents            180,249

                                                        $300,046

During the three months ended July 3, 1994 there were no sales of
securities available-for-sale.  In addition, the gross unrealized gains
and gross unrealized losses were immaterial to the Company and
therefore, no amount was recorded to stockholder's equity for the
quarter ended July 3, 1994.  As of July 3, 1994, the average portfolio duration
is approximately 30 days and no individual
security has a maturity which exceeds one year.

4. Inventories

      Inventories consisted of the following:

Net income per share

     Net income per share is computed using the weighted average
number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding. 
Net income per share computed on a fully diluted basis assumes
conversion of the Company's outstanding 6 3/8% convertible
subordinated debentures having a principal value of $212,500,000. 
For the three months ended July 4, 1993, the primary net income
per share is shown in the statement of income as both primary and
fully diluted, as the effect of the assumed conversion of the
subordinated debentures is anti-dilutive.


6. Subsequent events

      On July 19, 1994, the Company signed an agreement to purchase
Digital Equipment Corporation's magnetic disk drive, tape drive, solid
state disk and thin-film heads businesses for $400 million.  This
transaction includes Digital's 81% interest in Rocky Mountain
Magnetics, Inc. which is developing magneto-resistive head technology.  The
closing date is expected on or about October 3.

         Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
         Condition and Results of Operations
 
 
 Results of Operations
 
       Consolidated sales for the three months ended July 3, 1994
 were $725 million, compared to $479 million for the corresponding
 period in fiscal 1994.  The increase in consolidated sales is
 attributable to increased unit shipments which were partially
 offset by a decline in average unit sales prices.  Unit shipments
 for the three months ended July 3, 1994 increased 58% compared to
 the corresponding period in fiscal 1994 with sales for the first
 quarter of fiscal 1995 increasing 51% over the first quarter of
 fiscal 1994.
 
      Sales to Compaq Computer, Inc. and Apple Computer, Inc. represented 16% and
14% of consolidated sales for the three months
ended July 3, 1994.  For the first quarter of fiscal 1994, sales to
Compaq Computer, Inc. and Apple Computer, Inc. represented 14% and
29% of total consolidated sales.  The Company has no long-term supply
arrangements with any customers.  A significant
decrease in combined sales to the top customers, or the loss of
these customers, could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's results of operations.

       Gross margin for the quarter ended July 3, 1994 increased to
 20.1% from 12.2% for the first quarter of fiscal 1994.  This
 increase was due to the Company's successful transition of its
 customers from the ProDrive ELS to the newer more cost effective
 ProDrive LPS and the return to a more normal pricing environment
 throughout the industry.  However, the Company expects that price
 declines will be moderately higher during the September quarter
 primarily because of pricing pressures at certain capacity points. 
 Due to the cyclical nature of the disk drive industry and the
 Company's dependence on new product introductions, there can be no
 assurance that the Company will be able to sustain the current
 gross margin levels.

     Over the past ten years, Quantum has established a strong
business relatio
nship with Matsushita-Kotobuki Electronics
Industries, Ltd. (MKE) of Japan.  This relationship has been built
on Quantum's engineering and design expertise and MKE's
high-volume, high-quality manufacturing
expertise.  The Company's
master agreement with MK
E, which covers the general terms of the
business relationship, was renegotiated during fiscal 1993 and was
extended for a period of five years.  In fiscal 1994 approximately
90% of Quantum's sales were derived from products manufactured by
MKE.  In the ev
ent MKE is unable to supply such products or
increases its prices for manufacturing services, the Company's
results of operations would be adversely affected.  The Company's
transactions with MKE are denominated in U.S. dollars with prices
for product purc
hases negotiated periodically, usually on an annual
basis.  Thus, fluctuations in the exchange rate have no material
short-term impact on Quantum's results of operations.  However, such
fluctuations may impact future negotiated prices.


     Quantum operates in
 an extremely competitive industry and its
rapid growth has been the result of the Company's ability to
identify customer needs and develop quality products to meet those
requirements.  The Company expects that sales from new products
will account for a si
gnificant portion of sales for the latter half
of fiscal 1995 and will replace sales of some current products. 
The Company's ability to produce new products economically and
manage the transition of customers to these new products is
essential for continu
ed success.  The hard disk drive industry is
characterized by increasingly short product life cycles and is
dependent on the strength of unit demand in the personal computer
market.
    
     As a result, the industry tends to experience periods of
excess product i
nventory and intense price competition.  These and
other factors may affect the Company's results of operations, and
past financial performance should not be considered a reliable
indicator of future performance.  Investors should not use
historical trends
 to anticipate results or trends in future
periods.
    
      Subsequent to July 3, 1994, the Company signed an agreement to
purchase Digital Equipment Corporation's magnetic disk drive, tape
drive, solid state disk and thin-film heads businesses for $400
million, with the closing date expected on or about October 3.  If the
acquisition is consummated as planned, the Company's results will
reflect the operations of Digital's Storage Business unit
commencing the December quarter.

      Although it is premature to estimate the impact on the financial results of
the Company at this time,
the Company anticipates that the acquisition will have a dilutive
effect on earnings for the December and March quarters in fiscal
1995.

Operating Expenses

       Research and development expenses in the three months ended
 July 3, 1994 were $29 million, or 3.9% of sales, compared to $22
 million, or 4.5% of sales in the corresponding period in fiscal
 1994.  The percentage decrease is due to higher revenues in the
 first quarter of fiscal 1995.  Quantum intends to continue its
 investment in research and development.  The hard disk drive
 industry is subject to rapid technological advances and the future
 success of the Company is dependent upon continued successful and
 timely introductions of new products and technologies.
 
       Sales and marketing expenses in the three months ended July 3,
 1994 were $23 million, or 3.1% of sales, compared to $19 million,
 or 3.9% of sales in the corresponding period in fiscal 1994.  The
 increase in absolute dollars is due to costs associated with
 supporting the higher sales volume and expanding the Company's
 international infrastructure. 
 
       General and administrative expenses in the three months ended
 
 July 3, 1994 were $10 million, or 1.4% of sales, compared to $11
 million, or 2.4% of sales in the corresponding period in fiscal
 1994.  The decline in absolute dollars is due to the Company's
 reorganization in Q2 1994 and subsequently having more streamlined
 operations.
 
       Net interest and other income/expense in the three months
 ended July 3,
 1994 were $1.2 million net expense, compared to $1.6 million net
 expense in
 the corresponding period in fiscal 1994.  The decrease in net
 expense in fiscal
 1995 is due to increased interest income which resulted from higher
 cash
 balances and higher interest rates.
 
 Income Taxes

      The effective tax rate for the quarter ended July 3, 1994 was
30%, compared to 33% for the corresponding period in fiscal 1994. 
The effective tax rates are below the combined federal and state
statutory rates as a result of the tax benefit associated with the income of
foreign
subsidiaries taxed at lower than statutory rates and the Company's
tax exempt income.

 Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
      At July 3, 1994, the Company had $371 million in cash and cash
equivalents and short-term investments, compared to $330 million at
March 31, 1994.  The increase is due primarily to cash generated
from operations.

      The Company plans to finance the $400 million acquisition cost
of Digital Equipment Corporation's Storage Business Unit with a combination of
cash and debt.  The Company
expects to spend approximately $22 to $42 million for leasehold
improvements, capital equipment and the expansion of the Company's
facilities for the remainder of the fiscal year.  If the acquisition is
consummated as planned, the Company anticipates a
significant amount of additional capital expenditures will be
required to ramp up the manufacturing facilities in Asia over the
next twelve months.  The Company is presently in negotiations with
a consortium of banks in connection with the Digital acquisition
financing.  The Company believes that such acquisition financing,
as well as cash generated from its operations, will be sufficient
to meet these capital requirements as well as working capital requirements during
the next twelve months.

      The Company has an authorization outstanding from the Board of
Directors to repurchase 1.5 million shares of its common stock in
the open market.
