NOTE 1:  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

   The financial information included herein includes the accounts of Quipp,
Inc. and Quipp Systems, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary) and is unaudited;
however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal
recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a
fair statement of results for the interim periods.  All material intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated.

   The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 1995 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

NOTE 2:  INVENTORIES

   Inventories at March 31, 1995 have been recorded at the lower of cost or
market.  Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.  The
composition of inventories at March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994 is as
follows:

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


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

Three Months 1995 vs. 1994
- --------------------------

   Sales for the three months ended March 31, 1995 increased to $5,190,381
compared to $2,929,298 in the corresponding period in 1994.  However, gross
profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 32.5% in 1995 from 34.2% in 1994
due to the Company's determination, based on previous experience, to adjust its
reserve to cost of goods sold. 

   Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended
increased to $914,069 compared to $873,557 in the corresponding period in 1994. 
This increase is due to increased expenses resultant from the acquisition of
Hall Processing Systems.  See the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
further discussion of the purchase.

   Research and development expense decreased to $45,055 in 1995 compared to
$137,037 in 1994.  This decrease reflects less R&D activity as compared to the
same period of the previous year.  However, the Company plans to commence
several projects during the remainder of 1995 and anticipates that R&D
expendatures will increase accordingly.  

   Interest income increased $16,726 due to the increase in the Company's cash
investments.  Interest expense remained relatively constant, reflecting the
reduced principal balance  of the Company's long-term debt, offset by the effect
of increased  interest rates.

General 
- -------

   The Company's backlog as of March 31, 1995 was approximately $9,136,366

backlog within the next twelve months.   
 
Liquidity 
- ---------
