                 X-RITE, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
         NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1)      GENERAL INFORMATION
    
The consolidated condensed financial statements included herein have been
prepared by the Registrant, without audit, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information
and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  Although the
Registrant believes that the disclosures are adequate to make information
presented not misleading, it is suggested that these consolidated condensed
financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Registrant's 1994 Annual
Report on Form 10-K.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only
a normal and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial
position of the Registrant as of June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, and
the results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended
June 30, 1995 and 1994.

ITEM 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of 
           Financial Condition and Results of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales of $18,906,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995 increased
28 percent over sales of $14,758,000 for the same period in 1994.  For the
six months ended June 30, 1995, net sales of $36,852,000 increased 35.9
percent compared with $27,111,000 for the same period last year.  Increased
sales are attributed to increased unit volume rather than price increases.

Gross margin, as a percent of net sales, for the quarter and six months ended
June 30, 1995, was 65.5 and 67.8 percent compared with 70.4 and 69.7 percent
for the same period in 1994.  Product mix, as well as the inclusion of the
newly acquired Labsphere subsidiary volume, at lower margins, accounted for
this decrease.

Comparative consolidated total selling, research and development, and general
and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, are as follows:

<TABLE>

                                         Total               % of
                                        Expenses            Sales
   <S>                                <C>                   <C>
   Quarter ended June 30, 1995        $ 8,667,000           45.8%
   Quarter ended June 30, 1994        $ 5,665,000           38.4%
   Six months ended June 30, 1995     $16,379,000           44.5%
   Six months ended June 30, 1994     $10,415,000           38.4%

</TABLE>

Actual expenses for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995, increased
$3,002,000 and $5,964,000, respectively, when compared with the same periods
of last year.  These increases are a result of additional staffing and
promotional costs associated with new product introductions, as well as
increased research and product development activities.  Management continually
reviews these expenditures to ensure they are in keeping with strategic
objectives.

Other income, which is interest income from short-term investments, decreased
44.6 percent for the quarter and 36.7 percent for the six months ended 
June 30, 1995, due to a reduction in funds available for investment.

Net income of $2,553,000 decreased 21.7 percent for the three months ended
June 30, 1995, compared to $3,259,000 for same quarter of 1994.  For the six
months, net income of $5,856,000 increased .3 percent over net income of
$5,837,000 for the same period of 1994.  Net income, for the second quarter
1995, decreased as a result of deferred purchases by a few customers, as
well as increased spending on research and development and marketing
programs.  Net income for the first six months of 1995 was essentially
unchanged from the 1994 level.

Comparative earnings per share are as follows:

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

Working capital at June 30, 1995, was $28,889,000 compared with $36,573,000
at December 31, 1994.  This reduction is the net of increased levels of
accounts receivable and inventory to support higher volume offset by a
reduction in short-term investments which were used for the acquisition
of Labsphere, Inc.

The Company expects to spend approximately $6,000,000 for fixed assets in
1995.  Approximately $1,876,000 has been spent for the six  months ended
June 30, 1995.  Capital expenditures are expected to be funded from
operations and working capital.

The Company has available a $20,000,000 line of credit with a local bank,
providing for borrowings with interest at 1.5 percent above the "Effective
Federal Funds Rate."  The borrowings are unsecured and no compensating
balances are required by the agreement.  There were no borrowings under
this agreement in the six months ended June 30, 1995.
