        Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
        ----------------------------------------------------------------


1.   Interim Financial Data:

     The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by
     the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
     Securities and Exchange Commission and reflect all adjustments, consisting
     only of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management,
     are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods.
     These condensed interim financial data should be read in conjunction with
     the Company's latest annual report to shareholders.

2.   Net Income Per Share:

     Basic and diluted net income per share are based on the weighted average
     number of common shares outstanding during each year, with diluted
     including the effect of potentially dilutive securities. For the three
     months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999, the weighted average number of common
     shares for basic net income per share computations were 6,990,000 and
     7,101,000, respectively. For diluted net income per share, 250,000 shares
     were added to weighted average shares outstanding for the three months
     ended March 31, 1999, representing potential dilution for stock options
     outstanding, calculated using the treasury stock method. In calculating
     basic net income per share, dividends for preferred stock are deducted to
     arrive at income available for common stockholders. For diluted net income
     per share, the calculation assumes the conversion of common stock
     equivalents including the conversion of preferred stock to common unless
     such conversion is anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31,
     1998, no shares were added to the weighted average shares outstanding
     because the addition of shares would be anti-dilutive.

</TABLE>

Three Months ended March 31, 1999 Compared to Three Months ended March 31, 1998
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Sales decreased by $700,000 (4.0%) to $17.0 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 from $17.7 million for the same period ended March 31,
1998. The decrease was the combined result of a 9.0% increase in average net
sales per unit, offset by a 11.9% overall decrease in the number of units
billed. The increase in net sales per unit was the result of the higher
production achieved through the installation of thousands of new NextGen(TM)
photocopiers in existing sites and new multi-site retail locations. At the same
time, many low-volume producing sites were eliminated, thus decreasing the total
billed units in the field.

     Sales discounts are the portion of revenue retained by retail customers.
They generally vary at individual retail businesses depending on volume--the
higher the volume, the greater the discount. The upward trend in sales discounts
as a percentage of sales in 1999 compared to 1998 reflects changes made in
business agreements with new customers over the periods. In 1999, the Company
had entered many more long term contracts with multi-site retail customers.
Additional discounts were granted in an effort to secure the long-term
contracts.

     Costs of sales decreased $305,000 (4.1%) for the three-month period ended
March 31,1999 from the same period ended March 31, 1998. Costs of paper, toner
and parts decreased by $377,000, while field labor costs decreased by $407,000.
These decreases were the result of increased efficiencies gained by the
installation of the new NextGen(TM) photocopiers. The cost savings were offset
by increased costs of $555,000 for copier machine depreciation. The increased
copier depreciation relates to the increase in installed NextGen(TM)
photocopiers. Other individually insignificant items explain the rest of the
decrease.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $412,000 (7.1%) from
$5.8 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 1998 to $5.4 million for
the same period ended March 31, 1999. Selling, general and administrative costs
were 32.0 percent and 33.0 percent of sales for 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative costs decreased primarily due to reduced
marketing advertising expense associated with a marketing allowance of $250,000
provided by a vendor of the Company.  General reductions in other selling and 
administrative expenses explain the rest of the decrease.

     During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company recorded a
pre-tax special charge of $6.4 million ($3.9 million after tax) related to the
write-down of certain under-performing assets of its photocopy business. The
major components of the 1998 special charge included the 

                                       7
<PAGE>
disposal of under-performing machines ($4.3 million), the disposal of
replacement parts and inventory relating to under-performing machines ($1.5
million) and other charges related to the disposal of equipment ($600,000).

     Interest expense decreased to $30,000 in 1999 from $43,000 in 1998. The
decrease was due to a small overall decrease in borrowings on the Company's
revolving line of credit during 1999.

     Other expense (income) increased to ($150,000) from $180,000 during the
quarter ended March 31, 1999 compared to the three-month period ended March 31,
1998 primarily due to interest income generated of $115,000 related to interest
earned on short-term investments as a result of proceeds from the preferred
stock offering in June of 1998 as documented in the Company's report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. Also in the prior year, expense of
$64,000 was recorded as a penalty by a tax jurisdiction. Additionally, in the
prior year, a loss on sale of assets was recorded in the amount of $86,000,
while in 1999, the Company recorded a gain on the sale of assets of $4,000.
Decreases in other individually significant items explain the rest of the
increase in other income (expense) from 1998 to 1999.

     The Company's effective tax rate for 1999 was 39.0 percent, resulting in an
income tax provision of $564,000, compared to an effective rate of 38.9 percent
and an income tax benefit of $2.0 million in 1998.

Impact of Year 2000
- -------------------

     The Year 2000 ("Y2K") Issue is the result of computer programs being
written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any
such software programs may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather
than the year 2000.

     The Company relies on computer systems and software to operate its
business, including applications used in account maintenance, purchasing,
inventory management, finance and various administrative functions. Based on a
recent assessment, the Company determined that it will be required to modify or
replace significant portions of its software so that its computer systems will
function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and thereafter.

     The Company has formed a cross functional Y2K "Business Improvement Team"
that reports to the Company's Chief Information Officer ("CIO"). The CIO has
full authority to establish methodologies, approve expenditures, and marshal
additional resources as necessary. Two full-time project managers who answer
directly to the CIO manage the initiative and oversee the project team. The CIO
is responsible for researching, planning, executing, implementing and completing
the initiative for the Company.

     The three primary functional categories evaluated in the Initiative
include:

     Information Technology ("IT") which consists of all internal hardware and
software used to support the Company's financial and administrative operations.
Communications Network, which processes voice and data information relating to
the Company's global communications systems, including voice and data equipment
and related software. Facilities consisting of all systems necessary to run an
office including security system, fire suppression, generators, HVAC, and
associated systems.

     For each of the three functional categories the company is in the process
of or has completed the following three-phase approach to identify and address
the potential impact of Y2K compliance issues.

                                       8
<PAGE>
     Phase I - Inventory and Assessment

     Inventory and assessment involves each Y2K team member identifying all
relevant systems, providers and information sources within their functional
areas. An assessment is then made on each discovery to determine which items are
mission critical.

     Phase I was completed on February 24, 1999 for all primary functional
categories.

     Phase II - Remediation

     Remediation is the process of making changes to hardware, software or
services in order to become Y2K compliant. During the inventory and assessment
phase each system is evaluated for remediation. Each system requiring
remediation under the Company's direct control will be replace or upgraded as
needed.

     Phase II is underway and should be completed during the third quarter of
1999 for all categories except voice communication systems which were completed
on February 1, 1999.

     Phase III - Testing, and Contingency Planning

     All mission-critical systems, including both internal and external,
identified during the inventory stage will be tested by the Company sufficient
to confirm whether the system will continue to operate properly in Y2K and
beyond. Proper contingency planning for all mission-critical items will allow
the Company to mitigate the risk associated with potential Y2K failures. The
Company will consider itself Y2K compliant when all phases of the project have
been successfully completed and approved by the CIO.

     Phase III is underway and should be completed by the end of the third
quarter of 1999 for all categories. In addition to the replacement of mission
critical accounting and operations systems with ERP (Enterprise Resource
Planning) systems to accommodate for Y2K readiness and overall business
improvement, the Company has also engaged in a converging contingency method for
its existing accounting and operations legacy systems to assure Y2K compliance
in the event any part of the new systems implementation falls behind.

     The Costs to Address the Company's Y2K Issues

     Independent of the Y2K project, the Company has initiated significant
systems upgrades to enhance performance and reliability of many of its
computer-based information systems. These upgrades will, as an additional
benefit, rectify certain identified Y2K issues. The total IT and Communications
Network budget for all systems activities is $2.5 million for calendar 1999.
Expenditures directly related to Y2K issues are estimated to be approximately
$860,000. These costs are related to a new enterprise-wide software system that
will enhance the Company's current information system and will be capitalized.
Expenditures for other planned systems upgrades, totaling $1.64 million, will
address certain Y2K issues as a corollary benefit to the Company, but have been
initiated primarily to enhance system reliability. The Company will utilize both
internal and external resources to reprogram, or replace, and test the software
for the Y2K modifications. The Company continues to manage total IT expenses by
re-prioritizing or curtailing less critical investments, incorporating Y2K
readiness into previously planned system enhancements and using existing staff
to implement its Y2K modifications.

     The cost of Facilities (non-IT) related Y2K compliance issues is not
expected to be material.

                                       9
<PAGE>
     The Risks of the Company's Issues

     The Company has initiated communications with all of its significant
service providers, lenders, and large customers to determine the extent to which
the Company's interface systems are vulnerable in the event any of those third
parties fail to remedy their own Y2K Issues. However, there can be no guarantee
that the systems of other companies on which the Company's systems rely will be
timely converted and will not have an adverse effect on the Company's systems.

     Contingencies for systems scheduled for replacement include upgrades and
service packs from manufacturers of third-party software as well as dedicated
programming time from internal Information Systems staff to produce "Hot Fix"
repairs to modify date integer fields and input masks to reflect long integer
format. The Company presently believes that with modifications to existing
software and conversions to new software, the Y2K Issue will not pose
significant operations problems for its computer systems. However, if such
modifications and conversions are not made, or are not completed timely, the Y2K
Issue could have a material adverse impact on the operations of the Company.
This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of
operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process
transactions, send customer invoices, or engage in similar normal business
activities.

New Accounting Standards
- ------------------------

     In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of Position 98-1,
"Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for
Internal Use" ("SOP 98-1.") SOP 98-1 is applicable to all nongovernmental
entities and provides guidance on accounting for the costs of computer software
developed or obtained for internal use. SOP 98-1 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1998. The Company has adopted SOP 98-1 in the
accompanying financial statements.

     In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," which requires the Company to recognize all
derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges
must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge,
depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in fair values of the derivative
will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets,
liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings, or recognized through
comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The
Company believes that SFAS 133 will not have a material impact on its financial
statements because it is not currently involved in any hedge positions at this
time, nor are there any plans to adopt such positions in the near future. SFAS
133 is effective for fiscal quarters beginning after June 15, 1999.

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

     During the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company used $1.8 million
in cashflows for operations due to a decrease of $5.4 million in accounts
payable relating to photocopier purchases which were accrued for in December of
1998 but paid during the current quarter. During the same period net working
capital decreased from $14.2 million at December 31, 1998 to $13.2 million at
March 31, 1999. The Company also has a $30.0 million bank line of credit, with
no borrowings outstanding at March 31, 1999. The Company was in compliance with
all loan covenants at March 31, 1999. This credit facility expires on April 1,
2000.

     During the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company funded capital
expenditures of $2.8 million primarily from cash. Approximately $1.0 million of
the expenditures relate to the acquisition of new software systems currently
under implementation. The Company also expended $700,000 to secure a seven-year
contract related to its ATM business.

                                       10
<PAGE>
     The Company currently anticipates capital expenditures of approximately $30
million during 1999. Approximately $15 million will be for acquiring
photocopiers. The remainder will be for developing the ATM business and other
general purposes including computer systems. The Company expects that these
sources will provide adequate cash to fund its expansion through at least
December 31, 1999.

     Information in this Management's Discussions and Analysis about the
Company's goals, plans and expectations regarding expansion and capital
expenditures constitutes forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. The following factors are among the factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements:
business conditions in the market areas in which the Company operates,
competitive factors, customer demand for the Company's services, the Company's
ability to execute its plans successfully and the volatility of paper costs. Any
forward-looking statements should be considered in light of these factors as
well as risk factors and business conditions discussed in the Company's SEC Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.

Disclosure Regarding Euro Conversion
- ------------------------------------

     On January 1, 1999, eleven member countries of the European Community began
a process to convert their existing sovereign currencies to a single common
denomination, the Euro. The process of conversion is gradual over the next three
years, culminating in the eventual removal from circulation of all existing
domestic currency for the participating countries. The Company presently
operates in the United Kingdom and France and transacts business in the local
currency of those countries. France will be subject to the Euro Conversion, and
the United Kingdom may become subject to the conversion. The Company believes
that it will be able to accommodate the conversion to the Euro without a
material impact on its financial statements.


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     The Company is exposed to minimal market risks. Sensitivity of results of
operations to these risks is managed by maintaining a conservative investment
portfolio, which is comprised solely of money market funds, and entering into
long-term debt obligations with appropriate price and term characteristics. The
Company does not hold or issue derivative, derivative commodity instruments or
other financial instruments for trading purposes. Financial instruments held for
other than trading purposes do not impose a material market risk.

     The Company is exposed to interest rate risk, as additional financing will
be needed due to the capital expenditures associated with expanding the
Company's business operations. The interest rate that the Company will be able
to obtain on debt financing will depend on market conditions at that time, and
may differ from the rates the Company has secured on its current debt.
Additionally, the Company is exposed to interest rate risk related to its credit
facility as of December 31, 1998. Advances against the credit facility
periodically renew, at which point the borrowings are subject to the then
current market interest rates, which may differ from the rates the Company is
currently paying on its borrowings.

     The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk, as it has
operations in Canada, France and the United Kingdom.
