ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
        CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
        -------------------------------------------------

General
- - -------

     The Company has continued to expand its business by opening TRM
Centers in new and existing market areas. The number of market areas served
increased from 50 to 54 from June 30, 1994, to June 30, 1995. The number of
TRM Centers grew from 25,563 to 28,995 over the same period. This expansion
has continued into the first nine months of fiscal 1996 with the opening of
an additional nine new market areas and 2,037 TRM Centers. As of March 31,
1996, the Company had 63 market areas with 31,032 TRM Centers.

Results of Operations
- - ---------------------

     Sales for the third quarter were $17.4 million, up 8.1% from third
quarter sales of the previous year of $16.1 million. This growth is due
primarily to increased numbers of units. Average sales per unit also
improved for the fifth quarter in a row. The number of units billed during
the quarter increased 7.5% compared with the third quarter of the prior
year, reflecting continued expansion of service areas. Sales for the first
nine months of the year were $49.8 million, up 13.1% from the prior year.

     The Company continued its aggressive program of removing and
relocating under-performing machines, which it began last year.
Accordingly, the 431 net TRM Centers installed in the third quarter were
consistent with levels in the prior five quarters, but below levels in
earlier periods. This emphasis is expected to continue throughout calendar
1996. TRM Centers were newly placed, during the quarter, in Columbia, South
Carolina and Columbus, Ohio, in the U.S. and in Bristol and New Castle, in
the U.K. These four service areas were opened using a low-cost opening
model first introduced in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995. Under this
model, resources from an established TRM Service Center are used to open
the new area. Additional similar openings are planned over the coming
quarters.

     Sales discounts are the portion of revenue retained by customers.
Sales discounts as a percentage of sales continues to decline, from 18.5%
to 17.4% in the comparable quarters. This reflects changes made in business
agreements with new customers. The discount rate generally varies between
individual retail businesses based on volume.

     Cost of sales continues to be affected by higher paper costs, which
increased 9.8% compared to the prior quarter and 29.4% compared to the
prior nine months. Despite this, cost of sales as a percentage of sales
during the third quarter decreased slightly to 44.3% from 44.5% in the
prior year. This is primarily due to the Company's continued focus on
controlling costs and improving the profit performance of the installed
base of machines.

     It is expected that the third quarter will be the last quarter
significantly affected by the inventory of higher-cost paper. The paper
cost impact in the fourth quarter is expected to be minor compared to the
fourth quarter of last year. Looking forward, management is optimistic but
cautious on the outlook for paper prices. Though prices have come down in
recent months, it appears the volatility is continuing with a slight price
increase announced in late April.

                                    -7-
<PAGE>
     Selling, general and administrative expense grew to 25.9% as a
percentage of sales during the third quarter as compared to 24.4% in the
same quarter of the prior year. This reflects efforts to enhance and add to
the management team and to the management information systems over the last
year.

     Interest costs are incurred because the Company has used bank
borrowings to help fund its expansion. The decrease in interest costs
during the third quarter is primarily due to lower debt levels, which
decreased from $14.3 million as of March 31, 1995, to $10.6 million as of
March 31, 1996. These lower debt levels resulted from higher cash flow from
operations and lower capital expenditures.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- - -------------------------------

     During the nine months ended March 31, 1996, the Company spent $4.4
million on capital expenditures as it continued expanding its business. The
primary source of capital for this expansion was cash generated from
operations.

        The Company currently anticipates capital expenditures of between
$6 and $8 million during fiscal 1996. The Company intends to finance these
capital expenditures primarily with cash generated from operations,
although bank borrowings are available to supplement expenditures if
needed. The Company expects that these sources will provide adequate cash
to fund its expansion through at least December 31, 1996.

Forward-looking Statements
- - --------------------------

         The information in this report regarding the Company's program of
removing and relocating under-performing machines, service area openings,
paper costs and capital expenditures contain forward-looking statements and
actual results may materially differ. These statements involve risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to materially differ,
