              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

1.   MANAGEMENT OPINION

  In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements
  reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of
  the Company as of June 28, 1996, the results of operations for the three and
  nine months ended June 28, 1996 and June 30, 1995 and changes in cash flows
  for the nine months ended June 28, 1996 and June 30, 1995.  All adjustments
  included in the condensed consolidated financial statements are of a normal
  recurring nature except amounts related to the restructuring reserves (see
  Note 6) and reclassification of the revolving credit loan and senior secured
  notes payable from long-term to short-term debt (see Note 4).  The results of
  operations for the nine months ended June 28, 1996 are not necessarily
  indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending September
  27, 1996.

2.   PER COMMON SHARE COMPUTATIONS

  Per share computations are based on the weighted average number of common
  shares outstanding during the period and the dilutive effect of the assumed
  exercise of stock options.  This effect was not material for the three- and
  nine-month periods ending June 28, 1996 and June 30, 1995 and did not change
  the amounts of the primary and fully diluted earnings (loss) per common
  share.

3.   INVENTORIES

  Inventories at June 28, 1996 and September 29, 1995 are summarized as follows
  (in thousands):

4.   CLASSIFICATION OF REVOLVING CREDIT LOAN AND SENIOR SECURED NOTES PAYABLE

  The Company reclassified its revolving credit loan and the senior secured
  notes payable from long-term to short-term debt as of December 29, 1995 only
  to comply with FASB Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 95-22, "Balance
  Sheet Classification of Borrowings Outstanding Under Revolving Credit
  Arrangements That Include a Subjective Acceleration Clause and a Lock-Box
  Arrangement" which became effective in November 1995.  The revolving credit
  agreement is for a four-year period and the Company was in full compliance
  with all the covenants of this agreement as of June 28, 1996.

5.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

  As of June 28, 1996, the Company had a commitment of approximately $5.5
  million to purchase print engines under purchase contracts.

  The Company was contingently liable for approximately $1.2 million as of June
  28, 1996, the result of letters of credit issued in the normal course of
  business for the purchase of inventory.

6.   RESTRUCTURING RESERVES

  At September 29, 1995, the Company had reserves for restructuring charges and
  business divestitures totaling $10.1 million.  During fiscal 1996, total net
  charges of $8.1 million were taken against these reserves leaving a balance
  of $2 million at June 28, 1996.

7.   RECLASSIFICATIONS

  Certain reclassifications have been made to fiscal 1995 amounts to conform to
  the fiscal 1996 presentation.

</TABLE>

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 declined by 39% from net sales
for the third quarter of fiscal 1995 and by 43.5% in the nine-month comparison.
The sales by key distribution channels in the third quarter of fiscal 1996 (the
three months ended June 28, 1996) compared to the third quarter of fiscal 1995
(the three months ended  June 30, 1995) and the nine-month periods ending on the
same dates are shown in the table above.  The principal reasons for the sales
declines are the change in the methods of doing business in Europe and Japan and
the sale of the color thermal transfer consumables business.  The combined sales
decline in the Europe and Japan sales channels represents $22.6 million, or
92.2%, of the total decline for the third quarter comparison, and $69.6 million,
or 80.1%, of the total decline for the nine-month comparison.  Sales of color
thermal transfer consumables included in the third quarter of fiscal 1995 were
$3.2 million and for the nine months ended June 30, 1995 were $10.3 million.  As
reported in the Company's 10-Q filing for the first quarter of fiscal 1996, the
Company has completed the divestiture of its Europe and Japan business
operations to management buy-out groups and established exclusive master
distributor agreements with the new owners of these businesses to market QMS
products in their respective geographic territories.  The Company recognizes
revenue on sales of components and controller boards to these master
distributors and, additionally, commissions are earned by the Company on sales
of QMS products by these master distributors.  As a result, the amount of
revenue recognized through these sales channels in fiscal 1996 is significantly
lower than that recognized in fiscal 1995.

The U.S. direct channel is the Company's primary method of distribution for the
higher end of the Company's product offerings to major corporate accounts and
governmental agencies.  Net sales in the direct channel for the three- and nine-
month periods ending June 28, 1996 declined by 18.5% and 29.9%, respectively,
compared to the same periods in fiscal 1995.  The principal reasons for the
sales declines are increased competition in this sales channel and the sale of
the color thermal transfer consumables business, as discussed above.  Sales of
color thermal transfer consumables included in this channel were $2.1 million in
the third quarter of fiscal 1995, representing 11.5% of the total decline, and
for the nine months ended June 30, 1995 were $6.5 million, also representing
11.5% of the total decline.  However, there was a 27% increase in the U.S.
direct sales channel in the third quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to the second
quarter of fiscal 1996.  This increase reflects the impact of the introduction
of the QMS(R) 2425 Print System, a 24 page-per-minute monochrome printer, into
this channel at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 1996.

The Company introduced two new color laser print systems during the third
quarter of fiscal 1996.  The first of these print systems is the QMS
magicolor(R) WX, which is a work group printer for Windows(R) 95 environments.
With a list price of $3,999, the magicolor WX was introduced as the least
expensive color laser printer available and is the only color laser printer to
offer direct Windows 95 support without the need to translate data into
PostScript(R), HP(R) PCL or HP-GL.  The Company also introduced the QMS
magicolor CX/40, a print system which features 1200 dpi photographic quality
images, document control and network features.  The introduction of these two
new print systems, combined with the recent introduction of the QMS 2425 Print
System as discussed above, should allow the Company to continue to compete
effectively in the mid- to high-end print system market.

Overall, the Company's gross profit as a percentage of sales increased from
21.7% to 33% in the three-month comparison and from 23.3% to 33.2% in the nine-
month comparison. The reasons for these improvements are a focus on higher
margin products in the sales mix, including service and consumables, and
reductions in manufacturing overhead costs that were achieved in fiscal 1996.

The Company purchases print engine mechanisms and memory components from several
Japanese suppliers.  Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates will affect
the prices of these products.  The Company attempts to mitigate possible
negative impacts through yen-sharing arrangements with suppliers, foreign
exchange contracts and price negotiations; however, material price increases
resulting from exchange rate fluctuations could develop which would adversely
affect operating results.

Selling, general and administrative expenses declined from $21.6 million in the
third quarter of fiscal 1995 to $11 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1996
and from $67.6 million to $32.9 million in the nine-month comparison.  These
decreases of $10.6 million and $34.7 million in the three- and nine-month
comparisons, respectively, are due, in part, to the elimination of expenses
associated with the divested business operations in Europe and Japan, which were
$6.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1995 and $19.4 million for the nine
months ended June 30, 1995.  The remainder of the decreases in selling, general
and administrative expenses from fiscal 1995 compared to fiscal 1996 result from
cost reductions and restructuring efforts implemented during the latter part of
fiscal 1995.  Net operating expenses, excluding restructuring charges, as a
percentage of net sales decreased from 34.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 1995
to 28.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 1996 and also decreased from 32.5% to
29.1% in the nine-month comparison.

Total other expense for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 decreased 70.5%, from
$1.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1995 to $0.4 million in the third
quarter of fiscal 1996, and declined $1.2 million, or 40.3%, for the comparable
nine-month periods.  Interest expense decreased by $0.6 million in the third
quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 1995 and by $1.6
million in the nine-month comparison which was a direct result of the decrease
in total non-trade debt from $38.4 million at September 29, 1995 to $19.6
million at June 28, 1996.

During the third quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company recognized a tax benefit of
$488,000 from the carryback of its losses in Japan.  This tax benefit resulted
from the loss on the sale of its Japanese operations which was finalized in
early fiscal 1996.  Due to the availability of net operating loss carryforwards
and income tax credits, the Company does not anticipate providing for any income
tax expense during fiscal 1996.


FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------
                 
The decrease in cash and cash equivalents from $7.4 million at September 29,
1995 to $2.6 million at June 28, 1996 results from revised cash management
processes that were implemented as part of the new credit facility with Foothill
Capital Corporation ("Foothill").  This credit facility provides for a direct
flow of the Company's cash receipts to Foothill and a simplified method of re-
borrowing funds from Foothill to meet working capital requirements.

The decreases in trade accounts receivable of $12 million, in inventories of
$15.5 million, in property, plant and equipment of $6 million, in trade accounts
payable of $5.9 million, in short-term bank loans of $7.8 million, and in other
current liabilities of $14.2 million at June 28, 1996 compared to September 29,
1995 are principally the result of the divestitures of the Company's European
and Japanese operations.

The increases in notes receivable (current) of $3.7 million and note receivable
(non-current) of $2.3 million at June 28, 1996 compared to September 29, 1995
represent balances of the notes due from the purchasers of the Company's
business operations in Europe ($4 million) and Japan ($3.5 million).  These
notes are scheduled for repayment over periods of one and five years,
respectively, and all payments are current as of June 28, 1996.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
                   
During the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 1996, the Company's
working capital and capital expenditure requirements came principally from
operations and borrowings under the new credit facility with Foothill.  Proceeds
from the divestiture of the Company's business operations in Europe and Japan
were used to pay down the Company's short- and long-term debt obligations.  The
Company's net working capital as of June 28, 1996 was $17.8 million compared to
$35.5 million at September 29, 1995.  This reduction is principally due to the
disposition of the European and Japanese operations, the change in the Company's
cash management processes under the Foothill credit facility and the
reclassification of the revolving credit loan and senior secured notes payable
from long-term to short-term debt, as discussed below.

At June 28, 1996, borrowings under the Foothill credit facility were $13.8
million and borrowing capacity under this credit facility totaled $15.5 million,
plus the availability of a $5 million term loan.  During the third quarter of
fiscal 1996, the Company amended the Foothill credit agreement to extend the
terms of the agreement from three years to four years.  In addition, the
availability of the optional $5 million term loan was extended from May 15, 1996
to December 15, 1996.  (See Item 6 for a copy of this amendment.)  The Company
was in compliance with all of the Foothill debt covenants at June 28, 1996.

At June 28, 1996, the Company was not in compliance with certain covenants
contained in the 6.15% senior secured notes payable and, accordingly, this
obligation is classified as short-term debt.  Although the Company has not
received a waiver of the non-compliance, the holder of the senior secured notes
has not taken steps to accelerate repayment of this debt and, in management's
opinion, the status of this debt is unlikely to change.  The Company has
adequate borrowing capacity available as a term loan under the Foothill credit
facility to repay the senior secured notes in the unlikely event that repayment
of these notes is accelerated.

In November 1995, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force released Issue No. 95-22,
"Balance Sheet Classification of Borrowings Outstanding Under Revolving Credit
Arrangements That Include a Subjective Acceleration Clause and a Lock-Box
Arrangement" which required the Company to reclassify its revolving credit loan
from long-term to short-term debt.

Management believes that the Company's continuing working capital and capital
expenditure requirements will be met by cash flow from operations and borrowings
under the Foothill credit facility.

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- --------------------------
                      
The Company is a defendant in several cases in the normal course of business.
Management is of the opinion that the ultimate resolution of these cases, either
individually or collectively, will not materially affect the Company's financial
position or results of operations.


ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES - None.
- ------------------------------


ITEM 3.  DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
- ----------------------------------------


(a)  At June 28, 1996, the Company was not in compliance with certain covenants
contained in the 6.15% senior secured notes payable.  Covenant violations
include noncompliance with minimum net income requirements and interest
coverage.  Although the Company has not received a waiver of the noncompliance,
the holder of the senior secured notes has not taken steps to accelerate
repayment of this debt and, in management's opinion, the status of this debt is
unlikely to change.  The Company has adequate borrowing capacity available as a
term loan under the Foothill credit facility to repay the senior secured notes
in the unlikely event that repayment of these notes is accelerated.  The
Foothill credit facility is a four-year agreement and the Company was in full
compliance with all of the covenants in this agreement as of June 28, 1996.

              AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

          This AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this
"Amendment") is entered into as of December 4, 1995, by and between Foothill
Capital Corporation, a California corporation ("Foothill"), on the one hand,
and QMS, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Borrower"), with reference to the
following facts:

     A.   Foothill and Borrower heretofore have entered into that
          certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of November 7, 1995 (the
          "Agreement");

     B.   Pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain
          letter agreement, dated as of November 7, 1995 (the "Equipment Side
          Letter"), between Borrower and Foothill, Borrower has the right to
          borrow under the revolving credit facility under Section 2.1 of the
                                                           -----------
          Agreement and use the proceeds thereof to prepay Term Loan A, without
          penalty or premium, in an amount equal to the "Appraised Value" of
          those items of "Equipment" that are subject to "Liens" (as each
          such term is defined in the Equipment Side Letter), such prepayment to
          be applied to the scheduled installments of principal thereunder in
          inverse order of their maturity (such prepayment is referred to herein
          as the "Term Loan A Paydown");

     C.   Borrower has requested Foothill to amend the Agreement
          and to amend and restate Term Note A in its entirety, in each case, to
          reflect the Term Loan A Paydown;

     D.   Foothill is willing to so amend the Agreement and to
          amend and restate Term Note A in its entirety, in each case, in
          accordance with the terms and conditions hereof; and

     E.   All capitalized terms used herein and not defined
          herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the
          Agreement, as amended hereby.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals and the mutual
premises contained herein, Foothill and Borrower hereby agree as follows:

          1.    Amendment to the Agreement. Subsection (a) of Section 2.3 of the
                --------------------------

             AMENDMENT NUMBER THREE TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

          This AMENDMENT NUMBER THREE TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this
"Amendment") is entered into as of July 31, 1996, by and between Foothill
Capital Corporation, a California corporation ("Foothill"), on the one hand,
and QMS, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Borrower"), with reference to the
following facts:

     A.        Foothill and Borrower heretofore have entered into
          that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of November 7,
          1995, as amended by that certain Amendment Number One to Loan and
          Security Agreement, dated as of December 4, 1995, and as further
          amended by that certain Amendment Number Two to Loan and Security
          Agreement, dated as of February 7, 1996 (as so amended, the
          "Agreement");

     B.        Borrower has requested Foothill to amend the Agreement
          to, among other things, extend the Term Loan B Funding Window to
          December 31, 1996, extend by one year the Renewal Date, and adjust the
          amount of the Early Termination Premium, in each case as set forth in
          this Amendment;

     C.         Foothill is willing to so amend the Agreement in
          accordance with the terms and conditions hereof; and

     D.        All capitalized terms used herein and not defined
          herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the
          Agreement, as amended hereby.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals and the mutual
premises contained herein, Foothill and Borrower hereby agree as follows:

          1.   Amendments to the Agreement.
               ---------------------------

               a.   Retroactively effective as of May 15, 1996, the definition
of "Term Loam B Funding Window" contained in Section 1.1 of the Agreement
hereby is deleted in its entirety and the following hereby is substituted in
lieu thereof:

               "Term Loan B Funding Window" means the period commencing on the
                --------------------------
     Closing Date and ending on December 31, 1996 (which end date Foothill in
     its sole discretion may (but shall not be obligated to) extend upon
     Borrower's written request for such extension).

               b.    Section 3.3 of the Agreement hereby is deleted in its
entirety and the following hereby is substituted in lieu thereof:

          3.3  Term; Automatic Renewal. This Agreement shall become eftective
     upon the execution and delivery hereof by Borrower and Foothill and shall
     continue in full force and effect for a term ending on November 7, 1999
     (the "Renewal Date") and automatically shall be renewed for successive
     one (1) year periods thereafter, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the
     terms hereof. Either party may terminate this Agreement effective on the
     Renewal Date or on any one (1) year anniversary of the Renewal Date by
     giving the other party at least ninety (90) days prior written notice by
     registered or certified mail, return receipt requested. The foregoing
     notwithstanding, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an
     Event of Default, Foothill shall have the right to terminate its
     obligations under this Agreement immediately with notice to Borrower of
     such termination.

               c.   Section 3.5 of the Agreement hereby is deleted in its
entirety and the following hereby is substituted in lieu thereof:

          3.6  Early Termination by Borrower. The provisions of Section 3.3 that
                                                                -----------
     allow termination of this Agreement by Borrower only on the Renewal Date
     and certain anniversaries thereof notwithstanding, Borrower has the option,
     at any time upon ninety (90) days prior written notice to Foothill, to
     terminate this Agreement by paying to Foothill, in cash, the Obligations
     (including an amount equal to the full amount of the L/Cs or L/C
     Guarantees), together with a premium (the "Early Termination Premium")
     equal to: (a) if such prepayment is made prior to the second anniversary of
     the Closing Date, the greater of (i) the total interest and L/C and L/C
     Guaranty fees for the immediately preceding six (6) months, and (ii) Five
     Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000); (b) if the prepayment is made on or
     after the second anniversary of the Closing Date and prior to the third
     anniversary of the Closing Date, (i) if the Target Share Price Condition
     has not been satisfied prior to such prepayment, the greater of (y) the
     total interest and L/C and L/C Guaranty fees for the immediately preceding
     six (6) months, and (z) Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), and (ii)
     if the Target Share Price Condition has been satisfied prior to such
     prepayment, the greater of (y) the total interest and L/C and L/C Guaranty
     fees for the immediately preceding three (3) months, and (z) Two Hundred
     Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000); and (c) if the prepayment is made on or
     after the third anniversary of the Closing Date, (i) if the Target Share
     Price Condition has not been satisfied prior to such prepayment, the
     greater of (y) the total interest and L/C and L/C Guaranty fees for the
     immediately preceding three (3) months, and (z) Two Hundred Fifty Thousand
     Dollars ($250,000), and (ii) if the Target Share Price Condition has been
     satisfied prior to such prepayment, zero. The foregoing notwithstanding, in
     the event the Target Share Price Condition is not satisfied solely because
     Foothill receives the price per share specified in item (b)(iii) of the
     definition of "Target Share Price Condition" for less than all of the
     share that are issuable upon exercise of the Warrant in full, then Borrower
     shall be obligated to pay only a pro rata portion of the Early Termination
     Premium otherwise payable under this Section 3.5, such pro rata portion to
                                          -----------
     be determined by the same percentage of shares that are issuable upon
     exercise of the Warrant in full for which the price per share specified in
     item (b)(iii) of the definition of "Target Share Price Condition" is not
     received by Foothill.

          2.   Representations and Warranties. Borrower hereby represents and
               ------------------------------
warrants to Foothill that (a) the execution, delivery, and performance of this

contract or undertaking to which it is a party or by which any of its properties
may be bound or affected, and (b) this Amendment and the Agreement, as amended
by this Amendment, constitute Borrower's legal, valid, and binding obligation,
enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms.
