PART I
Item 1.  BUSINESS

         (a)  General Description of Business

         IMTEC, Inc. (the "Company" or "IMTEC") designs, assembles,  markets and
sells  high  performance   barcode  labels,  and  label  application  and  label
lamination equipment.

         The  Company's Hot Stamp printer  business was  discontinued  in August
1994.  Reference  is made to the  Company's  current  report on Form 8-K,  dated
August 19, 1994, the contents of which are incorporated  herein by reference for
further information in these regards.

         The  Company  was  incorporated  in Vermont on March 17, 1982 under the
name Imaging  Technologies,  Inc., and was  reincorporated in Delaware under its
present name on September 22, 1983. The Company's  executive offices are located
at One Imtec Lane,  Bellows Falls,  Vermont 05101,  and its telephone  number is
(802) 463-9502.

         (b)  Financial Information About Industry Segments

                Not Applicable.

         (c)  Narrative Description of Business


Products and Services

         The Company markets  high-performance  labels, label material,  ribbons
and laminates,  and produces preprinted bar code labels for customers who prefer
outsourcing  of label  printing.  Although the Company  sells a broad variety of
label  materials,  the  Company  focuses on high  performance  label  materials,
designed to perform in demanding environments.   Sales of such labeling supplies
accounted for 56.5%,  50.7%,  and 59.9% of the Company's  revenues during fiscal
years 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

         The Company  also  markets bar code label  printer/applicators  and bar
code  label  printer/laminators.  The  printer/applicators  print  bar codes and
variable  alpha  numeric   information   onto  pressure   sensitive  labels  and
automatically  applies the label in a single integrated  process to a product or
package.  These devices are typically used to automate  information transfer and
labeling  processes in a real time production or distribution  environment.  The
printer/laminators  enable  rapid  automated  printing of bar code and  variable
information  on labels with a laminated  surface. These labels are often used in
environments where resistance to temperatures, chemicals and weather are valued.

         These  labeling   systems  are   micro-processor   driven  and  involve
proprietary  software,  label  applicator  elements and  transport,  cutting and
laminating devices.  The systems often include scanners,  detectors and printers
supplied by  unaffiliated  manufactures.  Equipment  sales  accounted for 43.5%,
49.3% and 40.1% of the  Company's  revenue  during  fiscal years 1996,  1995 and
1994, respectively.


Marketing and Sales

         The Company's  marketing  efforts are directed to those  industries and
businesses  which  have need of  in-house  bar  coding  equipment.  The  Company
conducts its  marketing and sales efforts  primarily  through an in-house  sales
staff of 12 full-time employees and its executive  officers;  3 sales management
offices in the Metropolitan areas of Chicago,  IL,  Philadelphia,  PA, and Santa
Rosa, CA, respectively, each of which employs one full- time sales employee; and
approximately 12 independent reseller organizations throughout the United States
who market other bar code products in addition to the Company's.

         The  Company  also  conducts  marketing  efforts  and sales  throughout
Canada,  Latin  America,   Europe,  and  the  Far  East  through  resellers  and
distributors.

         The Company supplements these efforts by advertising, publishing 
articles in trade and business journals, and participation at trade shows.


Manufacturing and Sources of Supply

         The  Company  purchases  substantially  all of  the  printers  that  it
incorporates into its bar code printers from  non-affiliated  manufacturers.  As
there are numerous  manufacturers and distributors of printers, the Company does
not anticipate experiencing any curtailment in the availability of printers.

         The Company is not  materially  dependent  on any one  supplier for its
computer  software,  bar code printing supplies or components used in assembling
its  present  or  proposed  products.  It  currently  uses a number  of  outside
contractors to fabricate machine parts and  sub-assemblies  for its products but
is not currently materially dependent on any one such contractor.


Patents and Trademarks

         During the current fiscal year the Company received no new patents.  As
of June 30, 1996,  the Company  owned eight  patents,  expiring at various dates
ranging from 2001 to 2009, and eleven trademarks, respectively. Applications for
registration  of  trademarks  in seven  foreign  countries  were  then  pending.
Applications  for four patents  were also pending at June 30, 1996.  The Company
does not  believe  the  proprietary  protection  afforded  by such  patents  and
trademarks  is of material  importance  to its current or future  operations  or
prospects.


Warranty

         The Company's personnel install its products and, if necessary, train
customers'  personnel in their  operation and service.  The Company's  personnel
also service such products when a customer's  own staff is unable to diagnose or
correct a problem.  The Company  currently  warrants its enhanced printers for a
one year period for parts and in-house  labor.  The Company also offers  service
and warranty  contracts directly to its customers as well as through third party
service groups.


Customers

         The Company's primary customers are those businesses in industries that
utilize in-house bar coding equipment.  The Company's customers include, but are
not  limited  to,  the  fields  of  electronics,  automotive,  distribution  and
consumer's  goods  manufacturers.  During fiscal year 1996,  sales pursuant to a
single customer (United Parcel Service) accounted for approximately 13.2% of the
Company's revenues. This customer, which also accounted for 31% of the Company's
revenues during fiscal 1995, is not presently anticipated to account for greater
than 10% of the Company's  revenues for its fiscal year ending June 30, 1997. No
other  customer  accounted  for more than 10% of the Company's  revenues  during
fiscal  year  1996,  1995  and  1994.  Export  sales  aggregated   approximately
$1,435,000 in 1996, $1,704,000 in 1995, and $1,373,000 in 1994.


Backlog

         The aggregate  backlog of firm orders for the Company's  products as of
June 30, 1996 was  approximately  $2,228,000 as compared with $2,803,000 at June
30, 1995.  Approximately $1,320,000 of the current backlog is for media supplies
with  scheduled  shipping  dates  over the next 12  months.  The  balance of the
current  backlog  ($908,000)  is for equipment,  including  several  orders  for
multiple  units,  with  scheduled  delivery  over  several  months.  The Company
anticipates  that  substantially  all of its backlog  will be filled  during the
current fiscal year.


Competition

         The Company  competes with several  other  companies in the sale of its
bar code accessories,  supplies and services,  many of which are larger and have
greater  financial  resources.  The Company  recognizes  approximately 10 direct
competitors in its field;  however,  the Company believes that no one competitor
is a dominant factor therein.

         The  Company  may  face  potential  competition  with  respect  to  its
specialized bar code labeling  systems from other  companies  engaged in various
areas of the bar code  industry  which  have  both the  technical  knowledge  to
develop competing  systems and financial  resources  substantially  greater than
those of the Company.

         The Company  believes that it presently  competes based on performance,
simplicity  of  operation,  reliability  of products,  and price.  It expects to
compete with respect to specialized  bar code labeling  systems  presently under
development, based upon its chemical and systems engineering capabilities.


Research and Development

         The Company  conducts  on-going  research  and  development  to refine,
improve and enhance its product lines.  Research and  development  expenses were
$625,149,  $643,081 and  $516,990 in the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996,  1995
and 1994,  respectively.  The research and  development  expenses were primarily
attributable  to the Company's  efforts with respect to its specialized bar code
labeling systems and proprietary materials.


Employees

         As of August 30, 1996,  the Company  employed 69 persons on a full time
basis, including 6 employees in administration, 16 in marketing and sales, 10 in
research and development and 37 in service and manufacturing. .

         None of the Company's  employees are represented by a labor union,  and
the Company has  experienced no work  stoppages.  The Company  believes that its
employee relations are good.


(d)      Financial Information about Foreign and Domestic Operations
         and Export Sales

         Export  sales  aggregated  approximately  $1,435,000  in  fiscal  1996,
$1,704,000  in fiscal 1995 and  $1,373,000 in fiscal 1994,  representing  15.7%,
16.6% and 21.0%, respectively,  of the Company's sales in such fiscal years. The
Company has no  significant  assets  outside of the United States and all export
sales in such years were made to persons or entities that had no  affiliation to
the Company.

                                             Fiscal Years Ended June 30,
                                       1996              1995             1994

       Others                           13%                8%               4%


Item 2.  PROPERTIES

         The  Company  occupies  approximately  15,000  square  feet  in  leased
facilities  and a plot of land  measuring  11.59  acres on which  the  Company's
facilities  are  situated in the  Rockingham  Industrial  Park,  Bellows  Falls,
Vermont, which house the Company's executive and administrative offices, and its
bar code  manufacturing  and shipping  facilities under a lease which expires on
December  31,  1999.  The  Company  has the  right to  extend  the  lease for an
additional five-year term and to purchase the building at any time at a purchase
price equal to the then outstanding  principal balance and accrued interest of a
$525,000 Vermont Industrial Development Authority Industrial Development Revenue
Bond, issued in May, 1985.  Annual rent is $54,000.  The lease provides that the
Company  shall  pay  property  taxes and  utility  charges.  Sufficient  land is
available to allow for future expansion.

         The Company also leases  approximately 19,100 square feet in facilities
at  33  Bridge  Street,   Bellows  Falls,   Vermont,   which  house   additional
manufacturing and storage  facilities.  This lease expires December 31, 2000 and
the  Company has the right to extend the lease for two terms of five years each.
Annual rent through  December 31, 1996 is $67,680.  Rent  thereafter can be 
adjusted for inflation.

         The Company believes that these facilities are adequate for its present
and currently contemplated future operations.


Item 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         In  January,  1994,  the  Windham  County  Superior  Court  rendered  a
settlement  of $175,000  plus  interest to a former  employee in settlement of a
wrongful discharge lawsuit based on a termination dating back to 1991. This case
was appealed to the Vermont  Supreme  Court.  On November 22, 1995,  the Vermont
Supreme Court reversed the lower court settlement.  The Supreme Court's decision
resulted in the Company's reversal of a $215,000 reserve,  the majority of which
was originally  expensed in June,  1994.  The effect of the reversal  represents
$.08 per share in earnings.

         There is no material litigation currently pending, or, to the Company's
knowledge, threatened against the Company.


Item 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

         No matters  were  submitted  to a vote of security  holders  during the
fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS 
OF OPERATIONS

Fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, as compared to fiscal year ended June 30, 1995.

      Revenues for the fiscal  year  ended June 30 1996, decreased approximately
 11.3% over the fiscal  year ended June 30, 1995.

         Revenues from Bar Code labels and printing supplies were $5,146,749 for
the fiscal year ended June 30,  1996,  as compared  to  $5,187,457  for the year
ended  June 30,  1995,  a  decrease  of 0.8%.  The sale of Bar Code  labels  and
printing supplies  represented  approximately 56.5% of total revenues for fiscal
year 1996 as compared to 50.7% of total revenues for fiscal year 1995. There was
a backlog of  $1,319,601  as of June 30, 1996 for Bar Code  labels and  printing
supplies,  as compared to $956,402 for June 30, 1995. 

         Revenues  from the sales and service of Industrial  Bar Code  Equipment
were  $3,967,656  for the year ended June 30, 1996,  down 21.5% when compared to
$5,051,666  for the year  ended June 30,  1995.  Industrial  Bar Code  Equipment
revenues  represented  43.5% of total  revenues in fiscal year 1996  compared to
49.3% of total  revenues in fiscal year 1995. The decrease in bar code equipment
sales in fiscal year 1996,  when  contrasted with fiscal year 1995, is primarily
attributable  to the completion,  in October,  1995, of a contract with a single
customer.  When this contract is removed from the revenues,  the core  equipment
business  increased  49.3% from $1,854,071 in fiscal year 1995, to $2,768,240 in
fiscal year 1996. The increase in the core equipment business is a direct result
of increased sales and marketing  activities and efforts to expand the Company's
distribution  network.  Backlog as of June 30, 1996, was $908,175 for Industrial
Bar  Code  Equipment  as  contrasted  with   $1,846,535  (of  which   $1,115,752
represented  orders from the above mentioned single customer) for June 30, 1995.
This  represents a net increase of 24.3% in backlog for the core  equipment when
the single customer is excluded.

         Cost of sales remained steady,  at 55.1% of revenues,  not withstanding
the Company's  inability to secure volume discounts on purchased parts in fiscal
1996 as it had in fiscal 1995.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses represented 26.0% of sales
in fiscal year 1996 and 27.1% of sales in fiscal year 1995.  These  expenses for
fiscal 1996  decreased by about $411,000 over fiscal 1995 levels.  However,  the
majority of the decrease is  attributable  to the Vermont Supreme Court's ruling
in favor of the  Company  in a  wrongful  termination  suit,  reversing  a lower
court's earlier ruling in favor of the plaintiff, in the amount of $175,000 plus
interest.  The Supreme Court's decision resulted in the Company's  reversal of a
$215,000 reserve,  the majority of which was originally  expensed in June, 1994.
The effect of the reversal represents approximately $.08 per share in earnings.

         Research and Development  expenses  represented 6.9% of sales in fiscal
year  1996 and 6.3% of sales in  fiscal  year  1995,  though  the  actual  costs
decreased by about $18,000.

         There was no Interest  Expense for fiscal year 1996 compared to $39,603
for the previous  fiscal year.  This decrease is the result of efforts to reduce
debt. At June 30, 1995, all of the Company's  long-term and short-term  debt had
been paid in full, with funds generated through operations.

         Interest Income generated during fiscal year 1996 was $48,578, compared
to $11,925  during  fiscal year 1995.  This interest is earned on the balance of
cash and cash equivalents and marketable investment securities.

         Income  before  taxes was  $1,176,569  in fiscal year 1996  compared to
$1,196,532  in fiscal year 1995,  reflecting an 1.7%  decrease,  compared to the
11.3% decrease in revenues.

         Income tax expense was  $457,246  for fiscal year ended June 30,  1996,
compared to $345,437 in fiscal year 1995.  The difference is due primarily to an
increase in the  effective  tax rate from 28.9% for fiscal year 1995 to 38.9% of
income for fiscal year 1996.  Fiscal year 1995 income tax expense was  favorably
impacted by the utilization of a loss carryforward.

         At June 30,  1996 and  1995,  the  Company  had  accrued  $119,954  and
$289,906,  respectively,   against  future  product  warranty  claims  based  on
experience with customer claims. Warranty expense charged to operations amounted
to a benefit of $9,546 and an expense of  $215,171  for the years ended June 30,
1996 and 1995,  respectively.  The 1995 warranty accrual included  approximately
$140,000  of  additional  reserve due to  estimated  warranty  costs  related to
shipments  of a new  product  during  fiscal  year 1995,  and  fiscal  year 1996
reflects a reversal of that reserve of $127,000 during fiscal year 1996 as those
units came out of warranty.

         Accounts  receivable at June 30, 1996 decreased  21.9% when compared to
June 30,  1995,  while  revenues  during the 4th  quarter  decreased  13.9% when
compared to the 4th quarter in the prior year . The decrease in shipments in the
fourth quarter contributed to a corresponding  decrease in accounts  receivable.
Account receivable days (the number of days to collect the receivable) decreased
from 58 days  during  fiscal  year  1995 to 51 days  during  fiscal  year  1996,
reflecting a better  efficiency  in  collections.  The Company  considers all of
these amounts to be collectible.





Fiscal year ended June 30, 1995, as compared to fiscal year ended June 30, 1994.

      Revenues for the fiscal  year  ended June 30 1995, increased approximately
57.3% over the fiscal  year ended June 30, 1994.

         Revenues  from  the  sales  of  Industrial   Bar  Code  Equipment  were
$5,051,666  for the  year  ended  June  30,  1995,  up 99.9%  when  compared  to
$2,526,915  for the year  ended June 30,  1994.  Industrial  Bar Code  Equipment
revenues  represented  49.3% of total  revenues in fiscal year 1995  compared to
40.1% of total  revenues in fiscal year 1994. The increase in bar code equipment
sales in fiscal year 1995,  when  contrasted with fiscal year 1994, is primarily
attributable  to an increase in shipments  of  approximately  $1,472,000  of the
Company's recently introduced high performance label applicator line to a single
customer.  Other product lines showed increases of approximately 60% to 70% over
the previous year's shipments.  These increases are a direct result of increased
sales and marketing activities and efforts to expand the Company's  distribution
network.  Backlog as of June 30, 1995,  was  $1,846,535  ($1,115,752  represents
orders to a single  customer) for  Industrial  Bar Code  Equipment as contrasted
with $3,540,107 ($3,390,400 represents orders to a single customer) for June 30,
1994. The decline in backlog is the result of an increase in shipping levels.

         Revenues from Bar Code labels and printing supplies were $5,187,457 for
the fiscal year ended June 30,  1995,  as compared  to  $3,873,469  for the year
ended June 30, 1994, an increase of 33.9%.  The Company  believes that increased
marketing efforts, proprietary materials, and the increasing cumulative quantity
of machines  in the field  consuming  these goods has  resulted in the growth of
this product line. The sale of Bar Code labels and printing supplies represented
approximately  50.7% of total revenues for fiscal year 1995 as compared to 59.9%
of total  revenues  for fiscal year 1994.  There was a backlog of $956,402 as of
June 30, 1995 for Bar Code labels and printing supplies, as compared to $486,000
for June 30, 1994.

         The  Company  discontinued  its Hot Stamp  printer  business in August,
1994,  resulting  in a one time  charge of  $385,386,  recorded  in June,  1994.
Revenues from Hot Stamp equipment and supplies were $125,252 for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1994.  These  revenues  are  included in the prior years  numbers
discussed  in the  above  paragraphs.  (See  Notes  13  and 14 to the  financial
statements [for fiscal year 1995] of the Company).

         Cost of sales as a  percentage  of  revenues  decreased  from 61.9% for
fiscal year 1994 to 55.1% for fiscal year 1995. This decrease is attributable to
a decrease in the cost of materials  due to volume  purchasing  of parts and the
out-sourcing  of certain  assemblies.  While  direct  labor and  overhead  costs
increased  in actual  dollars  (up 13.8% and 19.5%  respectively),  the ratio of
these costs as a  percentage  of sales  decreased to 4.9% and 7.5% from 6.9% and
9.9% in the prior year, respectively.

         Selling,  general and administrative  expenses represented 27% of sales
in fiscal  year 1995 and 40% of sales in fiscal  year  1994,  though  the actual
costs for fiscal 1995 increased by about  $141,000 over fiscal 1994 levels.  The
majority of the increase is attributed to sales commission expenses,  increasing
about  $90,000,  the result of  increased  shipments,  and trade show  expenses,
increasing  approximately $85,000 as the Company introduced several new products
and  attended  twice as many trade shows  compared to fiscal  1994.  General and
Administrative  expenses  include  approximately  $23,000 in additional  accrued
settlement  costs  occasioned  by a  judgment  in the amount of  $175,000  (plus
interest)  rendered  against  the  Company  following a jury trial in a wrongful
discharge case instituted against the Company in 1991 by a former employee.  The
unfavorable verdict against the Company has been appealed to the Vermont Supreme
Court. [See the Management's Discussion and Analysis for fiscal year 1996.]

         Research and Development  expenses  represented 6.3% of sales in fiscal
year  1995 and 7.9% of sales in  fiscal  year  1994,  though  the  actual  costs
increased by about $126,000.  The additional expenses are related to new product
development,  including,  but not limited to, the Company's  recently  announced
ApplyPro series of printer/applicators.

         Fiscal year 1995 Interest  Expense was $39,603  compared to $50,732 for
the previous fiscal year. This decrease is the result of efforts to reduce debt.
At June 30, 1995, all of the Company's  long-term and  short-term  debt had been
paid in full, with funds generated through operations.

         Income  before taxes was  $1,196,532  in fiscal year 1995 compared to a
loss of  $1,099,956  in fiscal year 1994.  Income tax expense was  $345,437  for
fiscal  year ended June 30,  1995,  compared  to a benefit of $228,598 in fiscal
year 1994. The difference is due primarily to an increase in revenues, resulting
in a corresponding  increase in pre-tax earnings for fiscal year 1995. (See Note
7 to the financial statements.)

         At June 30,  1995 and  1994,  the  Company  had  accrued  $289,906  and
$87,107,   respectively,   against  future  product  warranty  claims  based  on
experience with customer claims.  Warranty expense charged to income amounted to
$215,171  and $81,003 for the years ended June 30, 1995 and 1994,  respectively.
This  increase  includes  approximately  $140,000 of  additional  reserve due to
increased  shipments of new product with no warranty  history.  Warranty expense
represented  2.1% of sales for fiscal  year 1995  compared  to 1.2% of sales for
fiscal year 1994.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY:

         During fiscal year 1996,  the Company's  principal  source of liquidity
was cash flow from operations. The Company had no bank borrowings as of June 30,
1996.  The Company  believes that the cash  generated  from  operations and bank
borrowings,  including  borrowings  available under its line of credit,  will be
sufficient  to meet its cash needs on both a  short-term  (i.e.,  12 months) and
long-term ( i.e., at least 24 months) basis.

         The  Company has  secured a line of credit  agreement  in the amount of
$700,000,  all of which was  available at June 30,  1996.  The line of credit is
secured  by the  Company's  accounts  receivable,  inventory  and  property  and
equipment.  The interest rate varies from time to time with changes in the prime
interest rate.

         Long-term and short-term debt, including current installments, had been
paid in full as of June  30,  1995.  This  debt  was paid  entirely  with  funds
generated from operations.

         During  fiscal year 1996,  the Company  spent  $427,461 on property and
equipment,  computer  software  and other  intangible  assets,  which is a small
decrease over the previous year's $494,297.  The cash for these expenditures was
generated from the Company's operating activities.

         The Company believes that its capital expenditures for fiscal year 1997
will  increase by  approximately  50% over the capital  expenditures  for fiscal
1996.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:

         In  March  1995,  the  Financial   Accounting  Standards  Board  issued
Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  121,  "Accounting  for the
Impairment of  Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to be Disposed Of"
which the Company will be required to adopt during fiscal year 1997. The Company
does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 121 will have a material affect on
the Company's financial statements.

In October 1995, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting  for Stock-Based  Compensation"  ("SFAS No. 123") which is effective
for the Company in fiscal 1997. As permitted under SFAS No. 123, the Company has
elected  not to  adopt  the fair  valued  based  method  of  accounting  for its
stock-based   compensation   plans,  but  will  continue  to  account  for  such
compensation under the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25. The Company will comply
with the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 in 1997.

                          June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994


(1)    Description of the Company's Business and Summary of Significant 
       Accounting Policies

       IMTEC, Inc. (the  "Company")  designs,  manufactures  and sells  labeling
          systems. These systems include label printer laminators, label printer
          applicators,  pre-printed labels and labeling supplies. IMTEC products
          are designed for automated identification (bar coding) applications in
          the electronics,  pharmaceutical,  transportation, textile, automotive

          sales  efforts  primarily  through its in-house  sales staff,  3 sales
          offices  in  different  metropolitan  areas in the  United  States and
          throughout  Canada,  Latin  America,  Europe and the Far East  through
          resellers and distributors.

       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

       (a)  Basis of Presentation
            The accompanying  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  on an
                accrual  basis.  The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in
                conformity  with  generally   accepted   accounting   principles
                requires  management  to make  estimates  and  assumptions  that
                affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and
                disclosure of contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of
                the financial  statements  and the reported  amounts of revenues
                and expenses during the reporting  period.  Actual results could
                differ from those estimates.

       (b)  Revenue Recognition
            Product sales, including sales under contract, are recorded when the
                products are shipped or in accordance with customer agreements.

       (c)  Cash and Cash Equivalents
            For purposes of the statement of cash flows,  the Company  considers
                as cash equivalents all highly liquid investments purchased with
                a  maturity  of three  months  or less  and  which  are  readily
                convertible to known amounts of cash.

       (d)  Marketable Investment Securities
            Marketable  investment  securities at June 30, 1996 consist of state
                bonds which the Company  considers  as trading  securities.  The
                Company   adopted  the  provisions  of  Statement  of  Financial
                Accounting  Standards  (SFAS) No. 115,  "Accounting  for Certain
                Investments in Debt and Equity  Securities"  during 1995.  Under
                SFAS No. 115,  the Company  classifies  its debt and  marketable
                equity   securities  in  one  of  three   categories:   trading,
                available-for-sale, or held-to-maturity.  Trading securities are
                bought and held  principally  for the purpose of selling them in
                the near term.  Held-to-maturity securities are those securities
                in which the  Company  has the  ability  and  intent to hold the
                security until  maturity.  All other  securities not included in
                trading    or     held-to-maturity     are     classified     as
                available-for-sale.  Trading and  available-for-sale  securities
                are recorded at fair value.

       (e)  Inventories
            Inventories  are  stated  at the  lower of cost or  market.  Cost is
                determined by the first-in, first-out method.








                                                                    (Continued)

                    Notes to Financial Statements, Continued

       (f)  Property and Equipment
            Property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation,  including
                amortization of leasehold improvements and capital lease assets,
                is  computed  using the  straight-line  method.  When assets are
                retired  or   otherwise   disposed  of,  the  cost  and  related
                accumulated  depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any
                resulting  gain or loss is  recognized in income for the period.
                The cost of  maintenance  and  repairs  is  charged to income as
                incurred; significant renewals and betterment's are capitalized.
                Deduction is made for  retirements  resulting  from  renewals or
                betterment's.

       (g)  Computer Software
            The cost  of  computer  software  to be  included  in the  Company's
                products is expensed until the technological  feasibility of the
                software  is  established.  Subsequent  costs  are  capitalized.
                Capitalized  computer  software  costs  are  amortized  over the
                greater of the ratio of  current  product  revenue to  estimated
                future  revenues or the  straight-line  method  using  estimated
                lives of two to five years.

       (h)  Other Intangibles
            The cost  of  product  documentation,   organization,   patents  and
                trademark  applications and license agreements is amortized over
                the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three
                to seventeen years, using the straight-line method.

       (i)  Income Taxes
            The Company  accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability
                method.  Deferred tax assets and  liabilities are recognized for
                the   future  tax   consequences   attributable   to   temporary
                differences  between the financial statement carrying amounts of
                existing assets and liabilities and their  respective tax bases.
                Deferred tax assets and  liabilities  are measured using enacted
                tax rates  expected  to apply to taxable  income in the years in
                which those  temporary  differences are expected to be recovered
                or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of
                a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that
                includes the enactment date.

       (j)  Product Warranties
            Estimated  costs related to product  warranties  are recorded at the
                 time of the sale of the product.

       (k)  Fair Value of Financial Instruments
            The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable,  accounts payable
                and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short
                maturity of these instruments.

(2)    Inventories
       Inventories consist of:

       In assessing  the  realizability  of  deferred  tax  assets,   management
          considers  whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all
          of the  deferred  tax  assets  will  not  be  realized.  The  ultimate
          realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of
          future  taxable  income  during the periods in which  those  temporary
          differences  become  deductible.  Management  considers  the projected
          future  taxable  income and tax  planning  strategies  in making  this
          assessment.  Based  upon the level of  historical  taxable  income and
          projections  for future  taxable  income over the periods during which
          the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more
          likely  than  not the  Company  will  realize  the  benefits  of these
          deductible differences.

(8)    Leases
       (a)  Capital Leases
            The Company  leased  certain  computer  equipment  under a long-term
                lease agreement which expired in 1995. Machinery,  equipment and
                tooling of $153,114  had been fully  depreciated  as of June 30,
                1995. There were no new capital leases entered into during 1996.

       (b)  Operating Leases
            The Company leases its facilities under lease agreements expiring in
                2000 which are classified as operating leases. The lease for the
                main building is  noncancellable  by the Company  except through
                the  exercise  of an option to  purchase  the  property  for the
                remaining   principal  and  interest   balance  on  the  Vermont
                Industrial  Revenue  Bond held by the lessor.  The lease for the
                Bridge Street plant is  noncancellable.  The Company also leases
                office equipment under short-term, cancelable operating leases.

          covers all employees  meeting certain  eligibility  requirements.  The
          Company  contributed  $52,225  and $14,360 to the plan during 1996 and
          1995, respectively. No contributions were made during 1994.

(10)   Stock Options and Warrants
       (a)  Stock Option Plans
            The Company has three plans,  the 1983  Incentive  Stock Option Plan
                which was  adopted  in August  1983,  the 1985  Incentive  Stock
                Option  Plan  which was  adopted in  November  1984 and the 1993
                Stock  Option Plan which was adopted on August 19,  1993.  These
                plans  provide  for  granting  of  options  on  common  stock to
                directors,  officers and key employees.  The options granted are
                exercisable in four annual installments beginning one year after
                the date of the grant  and  expire  five to ten years  after the
                date of the grant,  depending  on stock  ownership  on the grant
                date.

            The  following is a summary of outstanding  options  under the 1983,
                1985 and 1993  Incentive  Stock Option  Plans at June 30, 1996,

            Also, the Company  granted an option on 25,000  shares of its common
                stock to a  Director  on  November  15,  1990.  The  option  was
                exercisable  on November  19, 1990 and  annually  thereafter  in
                5,000  share  increments  through  January 31, 1995 at $3.00 per
                share, which was the approximate market value of the shares when
                the Director agreed to join the Board. During 1995, all of these
                options were exercised.

            Also, the Company  granted an option on 25,000  shares of its common
                stock  to  a  Director  on  November  1,  1993.  The  option  is
                exercisable  on November  18, 1993 and  annually  thereafter  in
                5,000  share  increments  through  January 31, 1998 at $2.75 per
                share,  which  was the  market  value  of the  shares  when  the
                Director  agreed to join the Board. As of June 30, 1996, none of
                these options have been exercised.

       (b)  Stock Warrants
            On  August 12, 1985,  the Company sold warrants to purchase  123,750
                shares  of  common  stock  for a total  of $750 to  three of its
                directors.  These warrants were originally  exercisable at $4.00
                per share and expired July 14, 1990. On September 28, 1988,  the
                Directors approved  modification of the terms of the warrants to
                be exercisable at $1.375 per share.  During 1989,  22,500 shares
                of common stock were purchased under these warrants for $30,938.
                During 1990, the Directors  extended the expiration date to July
                14, 1991.  During 1991,  the Directors  extended the  expiration
                date to July 14,  1995.  No shares  were  purchased  under these
                warrants during 1994.  During 1995, 61,875 shares were purchased
                under these warrants at $1.375 per share.

(11)   Concentration of Sales
       During  1996,  1995 and 1994,  there were sales to one  customer  which 
          accounted  for 10% or more of total sales.

       Export sales  aggregated  approximately  $1,435,000,  $1,704,000,  and  
          $1,373,000  in 1996,  1995 and 1994, respectively.

(12)   Earnings Per Common Share
       Primary  earnings per share were computed by dividing net earnings by the
          weighted  average  number of shares of common  stock and common  stock
          equivalents  outstanding  during the year,  if dilutive.  Common stock
          equivalents  (stock  options and warrants) are assumed to be exercised
          when they are issued and the proceeds used to  repurchase  outstanding
          shares of the  Company's  common  stock at the  average  market  price
          during the period.

       Thefully-diluted  computation  is performed  using the same method as for
          the primary  computation,  except that proceeds from exercise of stock
          options and warrants are assumed to be used to repurchase  outstanding
          shares of the  Company's  common stock at the higher of the average or
          the June 30 market price.

(13)   Hot Stamp Assets
       On March 7, 1990, the Company acquired certain assets, liabilities, and a
          ten-year exclusive  worldwide license to manufacture,  market and sell
          the products of Nevis Imaging Systems, Inc. in a transaction accounted
          for as a purchase. The assets and license agreement were acquired at a
          cost of  $860,245;  representing  cash  paid of  $40,000,  liabilities
          assumed of $360,245 and the issuance of 92,000  shares of IMTEC,  Inc.
          common  stock  valued  at  $5.00  per  share.  As  a  result  of  this
          transaction,  the Company had recorded  intangible  assets of $592,500
          representing the license agreement  acquired and $98,598  representing
          goodwill. These intangible assets were being amortized over a ten-year
          period. At June 30, 1993, the Company  determined that the goodwill no
          longer retained any value to the Company and, therefore, wrote off the
          unamortized  balance  of  $66,589.  At  June  30,  1994,  the  Company
          determined  that the license  agreement,  inventory,  and equipment no
          longer retained any value to the Company and, therefore, wrote off the
          remaining unamortized balance of $385,386.

(14)   Commitments
       At June 30,  1996,  the Company had an  outstanding  capital  expenditure
          purchase   commitment  of   approximately   $310,000.   A  deposit  of
          approximately  $95,000  has  been  made on the  purchase  and has been
          recorded in deposits at June 30, 1996.
