           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

            Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition
       and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the
       condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to condensed
       consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein.

                              Results of Operations

       Three months ended December 31, 1995 compared to the three months
       ended December 31, 1994
       ---------------------------------------------------------------

            Consolidated revenues in the quarter ended December 31, 1995
       decreased $949,000 (16%) to $5,025,000 from $5,974,000 in the
       quarter ended December 31, 1994.  Revenues in the Solutions
       Segment decreased $964,000 (30%) from $3,245,000 in prior quarter
       to $2,281,000 in the current quarter due to a continued decline in
       the computer-aided-transcription (CAT) system prices and units
       sold as well as a $597,000 decrease in groupware sales.  Revenues
       in the Imaging Segment increased $15,000 (1%) to $2,744,000 in the
       quarter ended December 31, 1995 from $2,729,000 in the quarter
       ended December 31, 1994.  This slight increase in the Imaging
       Segment revenues reflects a 57% decrease in computer-output-
       microfiche (COM) related revenue offset by a 34% increase in
       scanner product and service revenue.

            Consolidated gross margin decreased $456,000 (21%) from
       $2,134,000 in the quarter ended December 31, 1994 to $1,678,000 in
       the quarter ended December 31, 1995.  Gross margin in the
       Solutions Segment decreased $653,000 (56%) from $1,163,000 in the
       prior quarter to $510,000 in the current quarter.  This decrease
       in gross margin was due to volume and price decreases in the CAT
       business and the $597,000 decrease in groupware sales.  Gross
       margin as a percent of sales in the Solutions Segment decreased
       from 36% in the quarter ended December 31, 1994 to 22% in the
       quarter ended December 31, 1995 primarily due to eroding CAT
       prices and a change in the mix of groupware sales from higher
       margin software sales to lower margin hardware sales.  Gross
       margin in the Imaging Segment increased $197,000 (20%) from
       $971,000 to $1,168,000 in the quarters ended December 31, 1994 and
       1995, respectively.  Gross margin as a percent of sales in the
       Imaging Segment increased from 36% in the quarter ended December
       31, 1994 to 43% in the quarter ended December 31, 1995.  This
       increase resulted from volume efficiencies as well as a change in
       the mix from lower-margin COM duplicators towards higher-margin
       aperture card scanners.  

            Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased
       $50,000 from $1,579,000 to $1,529,000 in the quarters ended
       December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively.  This decrease consists
       of a $140,000 increase in costs at Photomatrix to develop its
       sales and marketing channels, offset by $190,000 of cost
       reductions in the Solutions Segment and corporate headquarters. 
       As a percent of sales, SG&A increased from 26% to 30% in the



                                     Page 8 of 16                       <PAGE>
       quarters ended December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively, primarily
       due to the decrease in revenues referred to above.

            Product development expenses increased $72,000 from $103,000
       in the quarter ended December 31, 1994 to $175,000 in the quarter
       ended December 31, 1995.  Product development expenditures that
       were capitalized because they related to technologically feasible
       projects were $148,000 in the current quarter compared to $149,000
       in the prior quarter.  Total product development spending
       increased $71,000 from $252,000 in the prior quarter to $323,000
       in the current quarter.  This increased spending was due primarily
       to increased scanner-development activity at Photomatrix.  

            Other income (expense), which consists primarily of interest
       expense, increased $17,000 from $44,000 to $61,000 in the quarters
       ended December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively.  This increase was
       due to an increase in borrowings under the Company's credit
       facility in the current quarter as compared to the prior quarter.

            The Company's provisions for income taxes were $1,000 and
       $3,000 in the quarters ended December 31, 1995 and 1994,
       respectively.  These amounts are substantially less than the
       provision calculated using the statutory rates because of the
       effects of net operating losses and related carryforwards, net of
       valuation allowances.

            The decreases in revenues and gross margin and the increased
       product development and interest expenses, offset slightly by
       decreased SG&A expenses, resulted in a net loss from continuing
       operations of $88,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1995. 
       This compares to income from continuing operations of $405,000 for
       the quarter ended December 31, 1994.

            In the quarter ended December 31, 1994, the Company operated
       a scanning service bureau.  Subsequent thereto, this service
       bureau was discontinued.  Including the prior-quarter loss from
       discontinued operation of $104,000, net income decreased from
       $301,000 ($.05 per share) in the prior quarter to a net loss of
       $88,000 ($.02 per share) in the current quarter.


       Nine months ended December 31, 1995 compared to the nine months
       ended December 31, 1994
       ---------------------------------------------------------------

            Consolidated revenues for the period ended December 31, 1995
       decreased $2,181,000 (13%) to $14,059,000 from $16,240,000 for the
       period ended December 31, 1994.  Revenues in the Solutions Segment
       decreased $1,934,000 (21%) to $7,062,000 in the current period
       from $8,996,000 in the prior period.  This decrease was due to
       decreased CAT sales volumes and continued price erosion as well as
       a $706,000 decrease in groupware sales.  Revenues in the Imaging
       Segment decreased $247,000 (3%) to $6,997,000 in the period ended
       December 31, 1995 from $7,244,000 in the period ended December 31,
       1994.  The decrease in revenue in the Imaging Segment was due to a




                                     Page 9 of 16                       <PAGE>
       46% decrease in COM duplicator sales, offset by a 30% increase in
       scanner product and service revenue.

            Consolidated gross margins for the period ended December 31,
       1995 decreased $1,378,000 (23%) to $4,662,000 from $6,040,000 in
       the period ended December 31, 1994.  Gross margin in the Solutions
       Segment decreased $1,495,000 (42%) to $2,044,000 in the current
       period from $3,539,000 in the prior period.  The decrease in gross
       margin was due to declining prices and sales volumes in the CAT
       marketplace, coupled with a decrease in groupware sales.  Gross
       margin as a percent of sales in the Solution Segment decreased
       from 39% in the prior period to 29% in the current period due to
       continued CAT price erosion and product-mix issues.  Gross margin
       in the Imaging Segment increased $117,000 (5%) to $2,618,000 in
       the period ended December 31, 1995 from $2,501,000 in the period
       ended December 31, 1994.  Gross margin as a percent of sales in
       the Imaging Segment increased from 35% in the prior period to 37%
       in the current period due primarily to volume efficiencies and
       product mix issues.

            Sales, general and administrative expenses decreased $78,000
       from $4,699,000 in the prior period to $4,621,000 in the current
       period.  The decrease represents a $317,000 increase in SG&A
       expenses at Photomatrix to develop its sales and marketing
       channels, offset by $395,000 of cost reductions in the Solutions
       Segment and corporate headquarters.  As a percent of sales, SG&A
       increased from 29% in the prior period to 33% in the current
       period, primarily due to the decreased revenues in the current
       period.

            Product development expenses increased $206,000 from $361,000
       in the period ended December 31, 1994 to $567,000 in the period
       ended December 31, 1995.  Product development expenditures that
       were capitalized because they related to technologically feasible
       projects were $481,000 in the current period compared to $508,000
       in the prior period.  Total product development spending increased
       $179,000 from $869,000 in the prior period to $1,048,000 in the
       current period.  This increased spending was due primarily to
       increased scanner-development activity at Photomatrix.  

            Other income (expense), which consists primarily of interest
       expense, increased $91,000 from $91,000 in the period ended
       December 31, 1994 to $182,000 in the period ended December 31,
       1995.  This increase was due to an increase in borrowings under
       the Company's credit facility in the current period as compared to
       the prior period.

            The Company's provisions for income taxes were $1,000 and
       $8,000 in the periods ended December 31, 1995 and 1994,
       respectively.  These amounts are substantially less than the
       provision calculated using the statutory rates because of the
       effects of net operating losses and related carryforwards, net of
       valuation allowances.

            The decreases in revenues and gross margin, and the increased
       product development and interest expenses, offset slightly by the



                                    Page 10 of 16                       <PAGE>
       reduction in SG&A costs,  resulted in a net loss from continuing
       operations of $709,000 ($.12 per share) for the period ended
       December 31, 1995.  This compares to income from continuing
       operations of $881,000 ($.15 per share) for the period ended
       December 31, 1994.  

            In the period ended December 31, 1994, the Company operated a
       scanning service bureau.  Subsequent thereto, this service bureau
       was discontinued.  Including the loss from discontinued operation
       of $274,000 and $15,000 in the prior and current periods,
       respectively, net income decreased from $607,000 ($.10 per share)
       in the period ended December 31, 1994 to a net loss of $724,000
       ($.13 per share) in the period ended December 31, 1995.


                         Liquidity and Capital Resources

            Following is a discussion of Xscribe's recent and future
       sources of and demands on liquidity as well as an analysis of
       liquidity levels.


       Recent and Future Sources of and Demands on Liquidity and Capital
       Resources
       ---------------------------------------------------------------

            During the nine months ended December 31, 1995, the Company's
       primary sources of liquidity were cash generated by operations
       (net loss plus depreciation and amortization) of $553,000,
       reductions in the Company's accounts receivable of $367,000,
       increases in the Company's accrued liabilities of $109,000,
       increases in customer deposits of $578,000, proceeds from the
       Company's credit facility of $500,000, and cash reserves.  Primary
       uses of cash in the period ended December 31, 1995 were to
       increase inventories ($757,000), reduce accounts payable
       ($397,000), capital expenditures ($688,000), and to repay notes
       payable ($171,000).  In the period ended December 31, 1995, the
       Company's cash balance increased $133,000 from $311,000 to
       $444,000.

            In August 1995, the Company increased its total credit
       facility with a bank from $1.5 million to $2.0 million and
       converted $1.0 million of outstanding borrowings into a 48-month
       amortizing term loan at prime plus 1-1/2% per annum; monthly
       principal payments on this term note are $21,000.  The remaining
       $1.0 million line of credit accrues interest on outstanding
       borrowings at prime plus 1-1/4% per annum.  Outstanding borrowings
       under the credit facility are collateralized by all of the
       Company's assets.  The Company is required to maintain certain
       financial balances and ratios, the most restrictive of which is a
       maximum debt to tangible net worth ratio of 1.0 to 1.0.  The line
       expires in August 1996.  The Company had a zero outstanding
       balance on the line of credit as of December 31, 1995.

            The Company is obligated under a series of notes payable
       totalling $777,000.  These notes bear interest at a rate of 8% per

       annum and mature in April 2000.  Interest and principal payments
       totalling $16,000 are due monthly.

            The Company's assured sources of future short-term liquidity
       as of December 31, 1995 are its cash balance of $444,000 and the
       unused portion of its line of credit of $1,000,000.

            The Company is currently obligated to pay approximately
       $40,000 per month in lease payments.  Aside from these
       commitments, the Company has not made any material capital
       commitments.


       Analysis of Liquidity Levels
       ----------------------------

            The Company expects that the capital expenditures required to
       maintain and grow its consolidated operations will approximate
       $1.2 million per year for the coming three years.  The capital
       expenditures required in future periods will consist primarily of
       software development costs needed to maintain products at
       competitive levels and demonstration equipment needed to sell the
       Company's products.  However, the Company may be required to
       reallocate or increase its capital expenditures due to competitive
       conditions or other unforeseen circumstances and the Company
       reserves the right to change its strategy and to reallocate or
       change the amount of its capital expenditures.  Future additional
       working capital requirements will depend on future growth rates,
       if any, and will stem from the need to finance increased inventory
       and accounts receivable levels commensurate with the growth rate. 
       The Company believes that the future capital expenditures and
       working capital increases will be financed from internally
       generated funds (i.e. profits before depreciation and
       amortization).  Accordingly, the Company believes that it
       currently has sufficient liquidity to fund its consolidated
       operating needs for at least three years, assuming that Xscribe
       can improve profitability and reduce inventory levels.
