                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1)      The unaudited financial statements presented herein have been prepared
         in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include
         all of the information and note disclosures required by generally
         accepted accounting principles.  These statements should be read in
         conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included
         in Recognition's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October
         31, 1994.  The accompanying financial statements have not been
         examined by independent accountants in accordance with generally
         accepted auditing standards, but in the opinion of management such
         financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring
         nature necessary to fairly present Recognition's financial position,
         results of operations and cash flows.  The results of operations for
         the nine months ended July 31, 1995 may not be indicative of the
         results that may be expected for the year ending October 31, 1995.

(2)      Certain amounts in the 1994 financial statements have been
         reclassified to conform with the 1995 presentation.

(3)      In 1994, Recognition adopted a plan to restructure its operations.
         There were three major parts to this plan: (1) to eliminate duplicate
         support and overhead operations and move Recognition's systems
         business more quickly through the transition from older, proprietary
         products to newer, open architecture products by consolidating certain
         operations; (2) to consolidate manufacturing and engineering into the
         Dallas, Texas facility and to close the Charlotte, North Carolina
         facility and other offices; and (3) to reduce expenses and overall
         headcount in Recognition's software business by consolidating certain
         software support functions.  At the end of the third quarter of 1995,
         the restructuring plan was substantially complete.

         As a result of adopting this plan, Recognition recorded  restructuring
         charges of $19,732,000 in 1994 and $1,454,000 in 1995.  In the third
         quarter of 1995, Recognition reduced the amounts previously recorded
         by $1,879,000 as the current estimate of liabilities to be paid was
         lower than originally estimated. These net charges include termination
         benefits of $7,257,000 for the involuntary termination of 296
         employees.  The majority of the employees affected by the
         restructuring were employed in Recognition's Charlotte, North Carolina
         facility.  The remainder of the affected employees were employed in
         the systems and software businesses.  The restructuring charges also
         include $2,866,000 for obligations relating to employee relocation,
         $5,223,000 for the write-down of certain assets no longer required in
         the business, $1,407,000 for facility lease terminations and
         $2,554,000 for other related items.  As of July 31, 1995, Recognition
         has paid $5,133,000 in termination benefits for the involuntary
         termination of 278 employees and





                                       4
<PAGE>   7
         has written down assets or paid amounts totaling $10,785,000 related
         to other restructuring items.

(4)      Recognition has been notified by a major customer of its Netherlands
         subsidiary they will not renew their maintenance contract at the end
         of its term.  As a result, Recognition plans to terminate 24 customer
         service technicians and support personnel located in the subsidiary by
         the third quarter of 1996.  A restructuring charge of $1,996,000 and a
         related income  tax benefit of $618,000 were recorded in the third
         quarter of 1995 for the estimated termination benefits to be paid to
         those employees.

(5)      On May 19, 1995, the boards of directors of BancTec, Inc. (BancTec)
         and Recognition unanimously approved an agreement to merge the two
         companies through an exchange of stock.  Under the terms of the
         agreement, Recognition stockholders will receive .59 of a share of
         BancTec common stock for each share of Recognition common stock owned.
         The agreement is subject to regulatory approval as well as approval by
         the stockholders of both companies.  Stockholder meetings for both
         companies to vote on this matter are scheduled for September 27, 1995.
         BancTec and Recognition each filed notification and report forms under
         the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act with the Federal Trade Commission and the
         Antitrust Division on June 8, 1995 along with requests for early
         termination of the waiting period.  On July 7, 1995, the Antitrust
         Division issued a request for additional information and documents
         relevant to the proposed acquisition.  Both parties produced documents
         to the Antitrust Division in response to such request.  On August 28,
         1995, the Antitrust Division issued to each party a Civil
         Investigative Demand ("CID") requesting additional information and
         documents.  Both parties currently are responding to the CID, and the
         transaction remains under further review by the Antitrust Division.
         The transaction is expected to be tax free to both companies'
         stockholders and to be accounted for on a "pooling of interests"
         basis.  Under this basis of accounting, the assets and liabilities of
         BancTec and Recognition will be combined based on the respective
         carrying values of the accounts in the historical financial statements
         of each entity.  Results of operations of the combined company will
         include income of BancTec and Recognition for the entire fiscal period
         in which the combination occurs and the historical results of
         operations of the separate companies for fiscal years prior to the
         merger will be combined and reported as the results of operations of
         the combined company.

(6)      In August 1995, a lawsuit was filed against Recognition and certain of 
         its officers and employees by a distributor of the Company's products 
         alleging breach of contract, tortious interference, fraud, and breach
         of fiduciary duties, among other claims, and seeking actual and 
         punitive damages in an unspecified amount. The defendants





                                       5
<PAGE>   8
         intend to deny the allegations and vigorously defend the suit. No
         discovery has occurred in the suit and neither the outcome nor the 
         effect on Recognition can be assessed at this time.

         At July 31, 1995, Recognition was contingently liable for
         approximately $899,000 under letters of credit issued primarily in
         connection with vendor purchase contracts and performance guarantees
         on customer sales contracts.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

         On May 19, 1995, the boards of directors of BancTec, Inc. (BancTec)
and Recognition unanimously approved an agreement to merge the two companies
through an exchange of stock.  Under the terms of the agreement, Recognition
stockholders will receive .59 of a share of BancTec common stock for each share
of Recognition common stock owned.  The agreement is subject to regulatory
approval as well as approval by the stockholders of both companies.
Stockholder meetings for both companies to vote on this matter are scheduled
for September 27, 1995.  BancTec and Recognition each filed notification and
report forms under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act with the Federal Trade Commission
and the Antitrust Division on June 8, 1995 along with requests for early
termination of the waiting period.  On July 7, 1995, the Antitrust Division
issued a request for additional information and documents relevant to the
proposed acquisition.  Both parties produced documents to the Antitrust
Division in response to such request.  On August 28, 1995, the Antitrust
Division issued to each party a Civil Investigative Demand ("CID") requesting
additional information and documents.  Both parties currently are responding to
the CID, and the transaction remains under further review by the Antitrust
Division.  The transaction is expected to be tax free to both companies'
stockholders and to be accounted for on a "pooling of interest" basis.  Under
this basis of accounting, the assets and liabilities of BancTec and Recognition
will be combined based on the respective carrying values of the accounts in the
historical financial statements of each entity.  Results of operations of the
combined company will include income of BancTec and Recognition for the entire
fiscal period in which the combination occurs and the historical results of
operations of the separate companies for fiscal years prior to the merger will
be combined and reported as the results of operations of the combined company.

         Recognition adopted a restructuring plan in 1994 to consolidate
certain operations in its systems business, close its Charlotte, North Carolina
facility and other offices and consolidate certain software support functions.
The plan was substantially completed by the end of the third quarter of 1995.
As a result of adopting this plan, Recognition recorded restructuring charges
of $19.7 million in 1994 and $1.5 million in 1995 for obligations relating to
employee severance and relocation, write-down of certain assets no longer
required in the business, facility lease terminations, the hiring and training
of employees to accomplish the restructuring and other related items.  In the
third quarter of 1995, Recognition reduced the previously recorded
restructuring charges by $1.9 million.  Recognition also recorded a
restructuring charge in the third quarter of 1995 of $2.0 million for
termination benefits to be paid to employees in its Netherlands subsidiary who
are expected to be involuntarily terminated as a result of the expiration of a 
maintenance contract with a major customer.  As of July 31, 1995, approximately
$5.4





                                       7
<PAGE>   10
million of cash remains to be paid under both restructuring plans, a
substantial portion of which will be paid over the next twelve months.

         Working capital at July 31, 1995 was $57.4 million, an increase of
$4.8 million compared to October 31, 1994.  The change was a result of an
increase in current assets of $3.6 million and a decrease in current
liabilities of $1.2 million.

         The increase in current assets included an increase in inventories of
$8.1 million due to purchases in anticipation of future shipments.  Short-term
investments increased $5.1 million due to investments previously held in cash
equivalents being invested in securities with original maturities greater than
three months.  Accounts receivable increased $2.0 million primarily due to
revenue recorded for shipments made in the third quarter of 1995.  These
increases were partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of
$11.0 million (see Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows).

         The decrease in current liabilities included a $4.6 million decrease
in accrued and other current liabilities due to payments related to
restructuring liabilities accrued at October 31, 1994.  Advance payments by
customers decreased $2.3 million due to  products and services delivered in the
first nine months of 1995 for which payment was received in 1994.  These
decreases were partially offset by an increase in trade accounts payable of
$5.8 million due to recent inventory purchases.

         Recognition is a defendant in a lawsuit described in Note 6 of the
"Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" appearing on page 5 of this
Report. Recognition intends to deny the allegations and vigorously defend the
suit. No discovery has occurred in the suit and neither the outcome nor the
effect on Recognition can be assessed at this time.

         Recognition's orders and revenues have been and may continue to be
adversely impacted by the announcement of the proposed merger and resulting
uncertainties created in the market place for its products and services.  In
the event orders and revenues are substantially impacted, Recognition's
liquidity, particularly in its domestic operations, may be adversely affected.
At July 31, 1995, Recognition had $34.8 million of cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments, of which $13.9 million was held in its domestic
operations and $20.9 million was held by its foreign subsidiaries.  Of the
amounts held by foreign subsidiaries, $7.4 million was pledged as collateral or
otherwise committed to secure certain guarantees and a foreign bank loan, and
the remainder may be subject to currency transfer restrictions.  Recognition's
credit facility expired in July 1995, and was not renewed due to the proposed
merger with BancTec.

       RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - COMPARISON OF THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED
                            JULY 31, 1995 AND 1994

         Recognition recorded net income for the third quarter of 1995 of $1.1
million compared to a net loss of $26.4 million in the third quarter of 1994,
an increase of $27.5 million.  Net income for the third quarter of 1995
included a restructuring  charge of $.2 million for hiring, training and asset
relocations associated with the restructuring plan adopted in the third quarter
of 1994 and a reduction of previously recorded restructuring liabilities of
$1.9 million as the current estimate of liabilities to be paid was lower than
originally estimated.  This reduction was offset by a $2.0 million
restructuring charge and a related income tax benefit of $.6 million related to
the planned termination of employees in Recognition's Netherlands subsidiary.
The loss for the third quarter of 1994 included a restructuring charge of $18.6
million, net of tax, and $5.9 million of other charges.  The other charges
included $1.8 million for the write-down of inventory and $.4 million of
additional amortization of capitalized software charged to cost of product
revenues, $.5 million for the write-down of service parts charged to cost of
customer service revenues, $2.8 million for the write-down of certain
capitalized software charged to engineering and development expenses, and $.4
million of additional allowances for bad debt charged to other operating
expenses.  Excluding the restructuring charges and the other charges, net
income for the third quarter of 1995 was $.7 million and the net loss for the
third quarter of 1994 was $1.9 million, an increase of $2.6 million.  This
increase was primarily the result of an increase in revenues associated with
the new, open system high-speed document transport and the Universal
Transport(TM) products and a decrease in operating expenses associated with the
restructuring.

         Consolidated revenues were $52.5 million in the third quarter of 1995,
an increase of 16 percent, or $7.4 million, as compared to the third quarter of
1994.  Consolidated revenues from equipment products and services were $41.3
million in the third quarter of 1995, an increase of $5.5 million, or 15
percent, as compared to the third quarter of 1994.  Consolidated revenues from
software products and services, including Plexus(R) software products and
software sold in conjunction with equipment, were $11.2 million in the third
quarter of 1995.  This represented an increase of $1.9 million, or 20 percent,
as compared to the third quarter of 1994.

         The increase in consolidated revenues reflected an increase in
domestic revenues of $5.3 million, or 18 percent, and an increase in foreign
revenues of $2.1 million, or 13 percent.  Foreign operations contributed 34
percent of revenues for the third quarter of 1995 compared to 35 percent in the
third quarter of 1994.

         Product revenues were $20.5 million, an increase of 40 percent, or
$5.9 million, when compared to the third quarter of 1994.  Revenues from
equipment products were $13.2 million in the third quarter of 1995, an increase
of 47 percent, or $4.2 million, due to





                                       9
<PAGE>   12
increased revenues associated with the new, open system high-speed document
transport and the Universal Transport products.  Revenues from software
products were $7.3 million in the third quarter of 1995, an increase of 30
percent, or $1.7 million, primarily due to increased sales of Plexus and third
party software products.

         Customer service revenues were $32.0 million, an increase of five
percent, or $1.5 million, when compared to the third quarter of 1994.
Equipment related service revenues were $28.1 million in the third quarter of
1995, an increase of five percent, or $1.5 million.  This increase in equipment
related service revenues reflected increased revenues for Recognition's
multi-vendor services offset by decreased revenues from the expected expiration
of domestic maintenance agreements for older products.  Software service
revenues related to both Plexus products and software sold in conjunction with
equipment were $3.9 million in the third quarter of 1995, unchanged when
compared to the third quarter of 1994.

         Consolidated gross profit in the third quarter of 1995 was $15.8
million, up $4.1 million from the third quarter of 1994.  Product gross profit
was $6.6 million, or 32 percent of revenues,  compared to $2.8 million, or 19
percent of revenues, in the third quarter of 1994.  Product gross profit for
the third quarter of 1994 included the charges for the write-down of inventory
of $1.8 million and for additional amortization of capitalized software of $.4
million.  Excluding these charges, product gross profit for the third quarter
of 1994 was $5.0 million, or 34 percent of revenues.

         Customer service gross profit was $9.2 million, or 29 percent of
revenues, in the third quarter of 1995 compared to $8.9 million, or 29 percent
of revenues in the third quarter of 1994.

         Engineering and development expenses decreased $3.9 million due to the
$2.8 million charge for the write-down of certain capitalized software in the
third quarter of 1994, the completion of certain development activities related
to the high-speed document transport and Universal Transport products in the
latter half of 1994, cancellation of non- strategic development activities in
the software business and lower sustaining engineering for older, proprietary
products.

         General and administrative expenses decreased $.8 million due to a
reduction in headcount as a result of the restructuring.

         Recognition recorded a foreign exchange loss of $.2 million in the
third quarter of 1995, compared to a foreign exchange gain of $.5 million in
the third quarter of 1994.  The current period loss is primarily due to
valuation losses on intercompany receivables from foreign subsidiaries as a
result of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar.

         The provisions for income taxes for 1995 and 1994 were a result of
income earned by certain foreign entities with relatively high





                                       10
<PAGE>   13
effective tax rates while no tax benefits were available to entities which
recorded losses for the three months.  The 1995 provision also included a $.6
million tax benefit for the restructuring charges related to Recognition's
Netherlands subsidiary recorded in the third quarter of 1995, while the 1994
provision included a $.4 million tax benefit for the restructuring charges
recorded in the third quarter of 1994.


        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - COMPARISON OF NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED
                            JULY 31, 1995 AND 1994

         Recognition recorded net income for the first nine months of 1995 of
$1.3 million compared to a net loss of $27.2 million in the first nine months
of 1994, an increase of $28.5 million.  Net income for the first nine months of
1995 included a restructuring charge of $1.5 million for hiring, training and
asset relocations associated with the restructuring plan adopted in the third
quarter of 1994 and a reduction of previously recorded restructuring
liabilities of $1.9 million as the current estimate of liabilities to be paid
was lower than originally estimated.  This reduction was offset by a $2.0
million restructuring charge and a related income tax benefit of $.6 million
related to the planned termination of employees in Recognition's Netherlands
subsidiary.  The loss for the first nine months of 1994 included a
restructuring charge of $18.6 million, net of tax, and $5.9 million of other
charges.  Excluding the restructuring charges and the other charges, net income
for the first nine months of 1995 was $2.2 million and the net loss for the
first nine months of 1994 was $2.7 million, an increase of $4.9 million.  This
increase was primarily the result of a decrease in operating expenses
associated with the restructuring.

         Consolidated revenues were $161.4 million in the first nine months of
1995, an increase of two percent, or $3.3 million, as compared to the first
nine months of 1994.  Consolidated revenues from equipment products and
services were $126.7 million in the first nine months of 1995, an increase of
$1.1 million, or one percent, as compared to the first nine months of 1994.
Consolidated revenues from software products and services, including Plexus
software products and software sold in conjunction with equipment, were $34.7
million in the first nine months of 1995.  This represented an increase of $2.2
million, or seven percent, as compared to the first nine months of 1994.

         The increase in consolidated revenues reflected an increase in
domestic revenues of $4.9 million, or five percent and a decrease in foreign
revenues of $1.6 million, or three percent.  Foreign operations contributed 39
percent of revenues for the first nine months of 1995 compared to 41 percent in
the first nine months of 1994.

         Product revenues were $66.2 million, an increase of three percent, or
$1.7 million, when compared to the first nine months of





                                       11
<PAGE>   14
1994.  Revenues from equipment products were $44.1 million in the first nine
months of 1995, a decrease of two percent, or $1.1 million, due primarily to
decreased revenues associated with network integration products provided by
Recognition's Canadian subsidiary to branches of the Canadian government,
partially offset by increased revenues associated with the new, open system
high-speed document transport and the Universal Transport products.  Revenues
from software products were $22.1 million in the first nine months of 1995, an
increase of 15 percent, or $2.8 million, due primarily to sales of Plexus and
third party software products.

         Customer service revenues were $95.2 million, an increase of two
percent, or $1.6 million, when compared to the first nine months of 1994.
Equipment related service revenues were $82.6 million in the first nine months
of 1995, an increase of three percent, or $2.3 million.  This increase in
equipment related service revenues reflected increased international service
revenues and increased revenues for multi-vendor services offset by decreased
revenues from the expected expiration of maintenance agreements for older
products.  Software service revenues related to both Plexus products and
software sold in conjunction with equipment were $12.6 million in the first
nine months of 1995, a decrease of five percent, or $.7 million.  The 1994
software service revenues included significant revenues for custom software
completed for a customer in Japan.

         Consolidated gross profit in the first nine months of 1995 was $48.6
million, up $.3 million from the first nine months of 1994.  Product gross
profit was $20.0 million, or 30 percent of revenues in the first nine months of
1995 compared to $17.3 million, or 27 percent of revenues, in the first nine
months of 1994.  Product gross profit for 1994 included the charges for the
write-down of inventory of $1.8 million and for additional amortization of
capitalized software of $.4 million.  Excluding these charges, product gross
profit was $19.5 million, or 30 percent of revenues in 1994.

         Customer service gross profit was $28.5 million, or 30 percent of
revenues, in the first nine months of 1995 compared to $31.0 million, or 33
percent of revenues in the first of nine months of 1994.  The 33 percent gross
profit margin in 1994 was unusually high due to custom software revenues in
Japan.  The 30 percent gross profit margin in 1995 is generally in line with
historical trends.  However, the gross profit margin on equipment maintenance
services is declining as revenues from the service of proprietary products are
being replaced by revenues from the service of third party products with lower
gross profit margins.  Gross profit margins vary for other services based upon
the specific services performed.  As a result, it is difficult to predict
future total customer service gross profit margins.

         Engineering and development expenses decreased $6.8 million due to the
$2.8 million charge for the write-down of certain capitalized software in the
third quarter of 1994, the completion of certain development activities related
to the high-speed document transport





                                       12
<PAGE>   15
and Universal Transport products in the latter half of 1994, cancellation of
non-strategic development activities in the software business and lower
sustaining engineering for older, proprietary products.

         General and administrative expenses decreased $1.7 million due to a
reduction in headcount as a result of the restructuring.

         Amortization and other operating expenses decreased $.6 million
primarily due to the $.4 million charge to record additional allowances for bad
debt recorded in 1994.

         The provisions for income taxes for 1995 and 1994 were a result of
income earned by certain foreign entities with relatively high effective tax
rates while no tax benefits were available to entities which recorded losses
for the nine months.  The 1995 provision also included a $.6 million tax
benefit for the restructuring charges related to Recognition's Netherlands
subsidiary recorded in the third quarter of 1995, while the 1994 provision
included a $.4 million tax benefit for the restructuring charges recorded in
the third quarter of 1994.

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES

In July 1995, Recognition's $25 million credit facility expired and was not
renewed due to the proposed merger with BancTec, Inc. The credit facility
contained various covenants, including maintenance of certain financial ratios,
net worth requirements and restrictions on future borrowings and payment of
dividends. In addition, the obligations under the facility were secured by a
lien on substantially all of Recognition's assets, excluding its real estate.
