                            PHOTO CONTROL CORPORATION
           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OPERATIONS

Sales for the first quarter ended March 31, 1999, were $1,829,000, a decrease of
6.0% and $118,000 from the first quarter in 1998. The camera product line sales
decreased $183,000, the printer product line sales decreased $101,000 and the
flash equipment product line sales increased $166,000. The decline in camera
product line sales is primarily attributable to decreased ZIII camera sales.
Because of market saturation and technological change the market for printer
products continues to decline. An increase in OEM orders accounted for the sales
increase of $166,000 in the flash equipment product line.

The Company entered an agreement with a major existing customer for the sale of
dual ported lens cameras. The dual ported lens camera simultaneously captures
both a film and digital image. The Company is presently developing the camera to
specifications in the agreement. It is anticipated that shipments will commence
in December of 1999 and extend up to 18 months thereafter, totaling $6.3
million.

Under an agreement with Eastman Kodak Company, the Company will manufacture,
sell and service the new Kodak Professional Dual Capture Imaging System. The
system was developed by Kodak Professional, incorporating a beam splitter, video
camera and personal computer components. It generates a digital image file
simultaneous with the capture of a film image using the customer's traditional
film camera. The digital image file is used for immediate point-of-sale
presentation to the customer and printing of record images with an order
summary. Shipments of these systems are expected to commence in the second
quarter of 1999. The Dual Capture Imaging System is currently in pre-production
testing.

The gross profit margin for the first quarter of 1999 increased to 26.0%
compared to 7.2% from the first quarter of 1998. Gross margin increased in all
three product lines primarily because the flash equipment product line, which
was moved from California to Minnesota, is now fully integrated. Also, gross
margin varies depending upon the product mix of sales. Management continues to
expect that the margins for the year 1999 will be approximately 26%.

Research, development and engineering expenses decreased by $54,000 for the
first quarter of 1999 compared to the first quarter of 1998 and marketing and
administrative expenses decreased $32,000. These expense decreases reflect staff
reductions as a result of a focus on products which already have market
penetration and can be effectively sold through the existing distribution
network.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash decreased by $370,000 to $360,000 since December 31, 1998. Operations for
the quarter resulted in $355,000 of negative cash flow. At March 31, 1999 there
was no bank borrowing and the Company had $1,500,000 available under its line of
credit.

The Company believes that its cash flow from operations and available borrowing
capacity will be sufficient to finance operations and capital requirements.


FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

Statements included or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q which are not historical in nature are identified as "forward looking
statements" for the purposes of the safe harbor provided by Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended. The Company cautions readers that forward looking
statements, including without limitation, those relating to the Company's future
business prospects, revenues, working capital, liquidity, capital needs,
interest costs, and income, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the
forward looking statements. The risks and uncertainties include, but are not
limited to, economic conditions, product demand and industry capacity,
competitive products and pricing, manufacturing efficiencies, new product
development and market acceptance, the regulatory and trade environment, and
other risks indicated in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


Year 2000 Disclosure

The Company continues to evaluate and, as necessary, modify or replace portions
of its product software and internal business computer systems and software so
that they will function properly in the year 2000 and beyond. Generally, the
Company's products do not utilize date dependent functions. Testing is being
performed on those products which do incorporate date functions. The Company's
business software and systems will be made year 2000 compliant in the normal
course system upgrades planned in 1999. The Company's integrated manufacturing
and accounting software and the associated hardware and operating system
software have been upgraded to achieve year 2000 compliance. The Company's
networked computers, network server and associated business and technical
software are in the process of being upgraded. The Company expects the year 2000
evaluation and any identified remedial work will be completed by June 30, 1999.

Progress in the year 2000 effort is being monitored by senior management. At
this stage, the Company believes that it can address the year 2000 issues under
its control to prevent any material impact on its operations, and that the costs
associated with the year 2000 efforts will not materially impact financial
results. The Company can



                                       8

not guarantee that the Company's vendors and customers can achieve timely year
2000 compliance, which could have an adverse impact on the Company. Critical
vendors of supplies and services are being contacted to assess their state of
compliance and the potential impacts, if any, on the Company's operations. The
Company will develop contingency plans where necessary so that the Company's
operations will not be materially affected by the year 2000.
