                          Electronics for Imaging, Inc.
              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Electronics
for Imaging,  Inc., a Delaware  corporation (the  "Company"),  as of and for the
interim period ended June 30, 2000,  have been prepared on the same basis as the
audited consolidated  financial statements as of and for the year ended December
31, 1999, contained in the Company's Annual Report to Stockholders.  All periods
presented  have been  restated to include the  financial  results of the company
formerly  known as Management  Graphics Inc. that was acquired by the Company on
August 31, 1999 in a pooling of interests  transaction as if the acquired entity
was a wholly-owned  subsidiary of the Company since inception. In the opinion of
management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of
the  Company  include  all  adjustments  (consisting  only of  normal  recurring
adjustments)  necessary to present fairly the financial  position of the Company
and the results of its operations and cash flows,  in accordance  with generally
accepted accounting  principles.  The interim condensed  consolidated  financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements referred to above and the notes thereto.

The preparation of the interim condensed  consolidated  financial  statements in
conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles for such financial
statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported  amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent  assets
and liabilities as of the date of the interim condensed  consolidated  financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The interim results of the Company are subject to fluctuation.  As a result, the
Company  believes the results of operations  for the interim  periods ended June
30, 2000 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results to be expected for any
other interim period or the full year.


2. Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging

In June 1998,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board (the "FASB")  issued
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 133 (SFAS 133) "Accounting for
Derivative  Instruments and Hedging".  This statement establishes accounting and
reporting  standards for derivative  instruments and for hedging  activities and
requires,  among other  things,  that all  derivatives  be  recognized as either
assets or liabilities  in the statement of financial  position and measure those
instruments at fair value. In June 1999, the FASB issued  Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 137 (SFAS 137),  "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging  Activities - Deferral of Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133".
SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS 137, is effective for fiscal years  beginning after
June 15, 2000. The Company is currently  studying the provisions of the SFAS 133
and the potential impact it may have on its financial statements.

         Options to purchase  4,594,649 and 249,300 shares of common stock as of
June 30,  2000 and 1999,  respectively,  were  excluded in the  computations  of
diluted  earnings per share  because the options'  exercise  prices were greater
than the average market price of the common stock for the periods then ended and
if included would have resulted in an antidilutive effect.


4. Stock Repurchase

In June 2000 the Board of  Directors  authorized  the  repurchase  of up to $100
million of the  Company's  common stock.  During the second  quarter of 2000 the
Company  repurchased  1,805,000  shares of common  stock at an average  price of
$24.44  per  share.  The  Company's  repurchases  of shares of common  stock are
recorded  at cost,  and are  classified  as  "Treasury  Stock",  resulting  in a
reduction of "Stockholders' Equity."

6. Legal Proceedings

The  Company  and  certain  principal  officers  and  directors  were  named  as
defendants  in class action  complaints  filed in both the  California  Superior
Court of the County of San Mateo on December  15,  1997,  and the United  States
District  Court for the Northern  District of California on December 31, 1997 on
behalf of purchasers of the common stock of the Company  during the class period
from April 10, 1997, through December 11, 1997. The complaints allege violations
of securities laws during the class period. Management believes the lawsuits are
without  merit and that the outcome will not have a material  adverse  effect on
the  financial  position or overall  trends in the results of  operations of the
Company.  However, due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation,  the Company
cannot  accurately   predict  the  ultimate  outcome  of  the  litigation.   Any
unfavorable  outcome  of the  litigation  could  have an  adverse  impact on the
Company's  financial  condition  and results of  operations.  In  addition,  the
Company is involved from time to time in litigation  relating to claims  arising
in the normal  course of its  business.  The Company  believes that the ultimate
resolution of such claims will not materially  affect the Company's  business or
financial condition.

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

The following  discussion and analysis  should be read in  conjunction  with the
section  entitled  "Management's   Discussion  and  Analysis"  and  the  audited
consolidated   financial  statements  of  Electronics  for  Imaging,  Inc.  (the
"Company") and related notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended  December  31,  1999.  In August  1999 the  Company
acquired  Management  Graphics Inc. The  transaction has been accounted for as a
pooling of interests which requires that all prior period consolidated financial
statements be restated to include the combined results of operations,  financial
position  and cash flows.  Results  for the three and six months  ended June 30,
2000 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the  results  expected  for the entire
fiscal  year  ended   December  31,  2000.   All   assumptions,   anticipations,
expectations and forecasts contained herein are forward-looking  statements that
involve  risks and  uncertainties.  The  Company's  actual  results could differ
materially from those discussed here. For a more complete  discussion of factors
which  might  impact the  Company's  results,  please see the  section  entitled
"Factors that Could  Adversely  Affect  Performance"  below and in the Company's
1999  Annual  Report on Form 10-K,  as filed with the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission.


Results of Operations

Revenue

Revenue  increased by 8% to $152.2 million in the three-month  period ended June
30, 2000,  compared to $140.7 million in the  three-month  period ended June 30,
1999. The  corresponding  unit volume  increased by 4%. For the six months ended
June 30, 2000 revenue was $303.7  million  compared to $264.9 million in the six
months ended June 30, 1999,  an increase of 15%. The  corresponding  unit volume
increased  16%. The increase in revenue was primarily due to a change in product
mix, with the average sales price per unit increasing.

The Company's revenue is principally  derived from three major  categories.  The
first  category is made up of  stand-alone  servers which connect  digital color
copiers with computer networks.  This category includes the Fiery X2, X4, ZX and
Z4 products and accounted for a majority of the Company's revenue prior to 1998.
The second  category  consists of embedded  desktop  controllers,  bundled color
solutions  and chipsets  primarily  for the office  market.  The third  category
consists of controllers for digital black and white products.

The following is a breakdown of categories by revenue, both in terms of absolute
dollars  and as a  percentage  (%) of total  revenue.  Also shown is volume as a
percentage (%) of total units shipped.

</TABLE>

The category of stand-alone  servers connecting to digital color copiers made up
50% and 41% of total  revenue and 21% and 12% of total unit volume for the three
month  period  ended June 30,  2000 and 1999,  respectively.  For the six months
ended June 30,  2000 and 1999,  the same  category  made up 49% and 45% of total
revenue,  respectively.  The percentage of total unit volume was 21% and 14% for
the six-month  periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. The increase in revenue was
primarily  driven by shipments of the new EX2000 for the Xerox 2060,  as well as
strong results in mid-range  products for various OEM partners.  The products in
this  category  continue to offer higher  margins  relative to the other product
lines.

The desktop,  bundled and chipset  category made up 16% of total revenue and 34%
of total  unit  volume in the second  quarter  of 2000.  It made up 26% of total
revenue and 47% of total unit volume in the second  quarter of 1999. For the six
months ended June 30, 2000 this category made up 19% of total revenue and 41% of
total unit volume as compared to 26% of revenues  and 52% of volume for the same
six months in 1999. The drop in revenue from prior periods was primarily  caused
by  reductions  in the laser  printer  and wide  format  printer  products.  The
products in this  category,  except for the  chipset  solutions,  are  generally
characterized  by much higher unit volumes but lower unit prices and  associated
margins than the Company has  experienced  in its more  traditional  stand-alone
server line of products.  The chipset  solutions can be  characterized  by lower
unit  prices  but  significantly   higher  per  unit  margins  compared  to  the
traditional stand-alone server line of products.

The digital  black and white  product  category made up 24% of total revenue and
40% of total unit volume in the  three-month  period ended June 30, 2000. In the
three month period ended June 30, 1999,  it made up 25% of total revenue and 41%
of total unit volume. For the six month period ended June 30, 2000 the black and
white  category made up 21% of total  revenue and 34% of total unit volume.  The
same category  accounted for 20% of total revenue and 34% of volume for the same
six-month period a year ago. Canon  black-and-white  solutions have consistently
accounted for the majority of revenue in this  category.  This product  category
also can be  characterized by much higher unit volumes and lower unit prices and
associated  margins  than the Company has  experienced  in its more  traditional
stand-alone server line of products.

Spares,  licensing  revenue,  film recorder  sales and service,  eBeam and other
miscellaneous sources generated 10% and 8% of total revenue for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  For the six months  ended June 30,
2000 and 1999, this category had 11% and 9% of total revenue, respectively. As a
percentage  of total unit  volume  this  category  represented  5% for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 and 4% for the six months  ended June 30,  2000.  The
volumes in 1999 for this category were less than 1%.

 To the extent any of these  categories do not grow over time in absolute terms,
or if the Company is not able to meet demand for higher unit  volumes,  it could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's operating results.  There can be
no assurance  that any new  products for 2000 will be qualified by the OEMs,  or
that they will successfully  compete, or be accepted by the market, or otherwise
be able to  effectively  replace  the volume of revenue  and/or  income from the
older products.

The Company also believes that in addition to the factors described above, price
reductions  for all of its  products  will affect  revenues  in the future.  The
Company has made and may in the future make price  reductions  for its products.
Depending upon the  price-elasticity of demand for the Company's  products,  the
pricing and quality of competitive products,  and other economic and competitive
conditions,  such price  reductions  may have an adverse

                                       10

<PAGE>

impact on the  Company's  revenues  and  profits.  If the Company is not able to
compensate  for lower gross  margins that result from price  reductions  with an
increased  volume  of  sales,  its  results  of  operations  could be  adversely
affected.  In  addition,  if the product mix becomes  weighted  with lower gross
margin products results of operations may be adversely affected.

The  Company  saw  a  decrease  in   shipments  to  the  Rest  of  World  region
(predominantly  represented by the Southeast Asian  countries) and Japan for the
second  quarter of 2000  compared to the same period a year ago. The drop in the
Rest of World shipments was the result of product  transitions with key partners
in  these  regions  as well as  market  conditions,  which  favor  lower  priced
products.  The product  transitions are primarily in laser printer products.  In
addition,   some  first  quarter   inventory   build-up  was  experienced  which
contributed  to reduced  second  quarter  orders as our  partners  launched  new
products.  Japan  experienced a decrease of 15% for both the three month and six
month periods  ended June 30, 2000  compared to the same periods in 1999,  which
the Company  believes is due to difficult  economic  conditions  that  primarily
changed the product mix,  shifting more sales to lower priced units.  Changes in
worldwide  economic  conditions  may have an  adverse  impact  on the  Company's
results of operations in the future.

As shipments  to some of the  Company's  OEM  partners  are made to  centralized
purchasing  and  manufacturing  locations  which in turn sell  through  to other
locations,  the Company  believes  that export sales of its  products  into each
region may differ from what is reported  because  accurate  data is difficult to
obtain.  The Company  expects  that export  sales will  continue to  represent a
significant portion of its total revenue.

Substantially  all of the revenue for the last three years was  attributable  to
sales of products  through the  Company's  OEM  channels  with such  partners as
Canon, Encad, Epson, Fuji-Xerox, Hewlett-Packard,  Kodak/Danka Business Systems,
Konica,  Lanier,  Minolta, Oce, Ricoh, Sharp, Toshiba,  Xerox and others. During
2000,  the Company has  continued to work on both  increasing  the number of OEM
partners,  and expanding the size of existing  relationships  with OEM partners.
The Company  relied on three OEM customers,  Canon,  Xerox and Ricoh for 71 % of
its aggregate  revenue for the second quarter of 2000 and 69% of its revenue for
the six months ended June 30, 2000.  For the second  quarter of 1999 and the six
months  ended  June 30,  1999 Canon and Xerox  accounted  for 64% and 45% of its
revenue,  respectively.  In the event  that any of these OEM  relationships  are
scaled back or discontinued,  the Company may experience a significant  negative
impact on its  consolidated  financial  position and results of  operations.  In
addition, no assurance can be given that the Company's  relationships with these
OEM partners will continue.

The Company continues to work on the development of products  utilizing both the
Fiery  architecture  and other  products and services and intends to continue to
introduce  new  generations  of Fiery  products and other new product  lines and
services  with  current and new OEM's in 2000 and beyond.  No  assurance  can be
given  that the  introduction  or market  acceptance  of new,  current or future
products or services will be successful.


Cost of Revenue

Fiery color servers as well as embedded  desktop  controllers  and digital black
and white products are  manufactured by third-party  manufacturers  who purchase
most of the  necessary  components.  The Company  directly  sources  processors,
memory,  certain ASICs, and software  licensed from various  sources,  including
PostScript interpreter software,  which the Company licenses from Adobe Systems,
Inc.

                                       11

Gross Margins

The  Company's  gross margin was 48% and 49% for the three months ended June 30,
2000 and 1999, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 the
gross  margin was 48%.  The  decrease  in the gross  margin for the three  month
period was attributable to higher  component  costs,  partially offset by volume
driven  economies of scale as well as  increased  outsourcing  of  manufacturing
operations to lower cost subcontract manufacturers.

The Company  expects that sales of products  with  relatively  lower margins may
increase as a percentage of revenue. Such products include embedded products for
both desktop  printers and copiers,  embedded  controllers  for  black-and-white
copiers  and  older  products  for  which  prices  are  reduced  during  product
transitions.  If such sales  increase as a percentage of the Company's  revenue,
gross  margins may decline.  In addition,  the Company  expects to be subject to
pressures  to reduce  prices,  and as a  result,  gross  margins  for all of its
products may be lower and therefore,  the Company's  ability to maintain current
gross margins may not continue.

In general,  the Company believes that gross margin will continue to be impacted
by a variety of factors.  These  factors  include the market  prices that can be
achieved on the Company's  current and future  products,  the  availability  and
pricing of key components (including DRAM, processors and Postscript interpreter
software),   third  party  manufacturing  costs,  product  documentation  costs,
product,  channel  and  geographic  mix,  the success of the  Company's  product
transitions and new products,  competition,  and general economic  conditions in
the United  States and  abroad.  Consequently,  the  Company  anticipates  gross
margins will fluctuate from period to period.


Operating Expenses

Operating  expenses  increased by 18% in the period ended June 30, 2000 compared
to  the  three-month  period  ended  June  30,  1999.  Operating  expenses  as a
percentage of revenue amounted to 29% and 27% for the three-month  periods ended
June 30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The increase in  operating  expenses was
primarily related to an increase in the number of employees  required to support
the  development and  introduction of new products needed for continued  growth.
The number of full-time employees increased by 102 people from June 1999 to June
2000. Operating expenses increased by 16% in the six-month period ended June 30,
2000 compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 1999. Operating expenses as
a percentage of revenue were 28% for both the  six-month  period  ended June 30,
2000 and the six-month period ended June 30, 1999.

Operating  expenses  for the six  month  period  ended  June 30,  1999  included
non-recurring  expenses in connection  with the Company's  move to a new central
facility in Foster City, California. Total moving costs amounted to $1.8 million
of which approximately $1.6 million related to operating expenses. Excluding the
moving costs,  operating  expenses as a percentage of revenue for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 amounted to 27%.

The Company  anticipates  that operating  expenses will continue to grow and may
increase both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenue.

The components of operating expenses are detailed below.

           Research and Development

           Expenses for research and development  consist primarily of personnel
           expenses and, to a lesser extent, consulting,  depreciation and costs
           of prototype materials.  Research and development expenses were $22.2
           million or 15% of revenue for the  three-month  period ended June 30,
           2000 compared to $18.2 million or 13% of revenue for the  three-month
           period ended June 30, 1999.  Research and development costs increased
           19%,  from $35.2  million  for the six months  ended June 30, 1999 to
           $42.0  million for the six months ended June 30,  2000.  The increase
           for the three and six month  periods  from the prior  year was mainly
           due to  additional  headcount  and  component  expenses for prototype
           development.  The  Company  believes  that  the  development  of  new
           products and the  enhancement  of existing  products are essential to
           its continued success,  and intends to continue to devote substantial
           resources   to  research   and  new  product   development   efforts.
           Accordingly,  the Company  expects that its research and  development
           expenses may  continue to increase in absolute  dollars and also as a
           percentage of revenue.

           Sales and Marketing

           Sales and marketing  expenses include personnel  expenses,  costs for
           trade shows,  marketing  programs and  promotional  materials,  sales
           commissions,  travel and entertainment  expenses,  depreciation,  and
           costs  associated  with sales offices in the United  States,  Europe,
           Japan and other  locations  around  the  world.  Sales and  marketing
           expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2000 were $15.9  million
           or 10% of revenue compared to $14.6 million or 10% of revenue for the
           three months  ended June 30, 1999.  For the six months ended June 30,
           2000  sales and  marketing  expenses  were  $32.3  million  or 11% of
           revenue, while for the six months ended June 30, 1999 they were $29.4
           million, or 11% of revenue.

           The  Company  expects  that its  sales  and  marketing  expenses  may
           increase in absolute  dollars and possibly  also as a  percentage  of
           revenue as it continues to actively promote its products,  launch new
           products and  services and continue to build its sales and  marketing
           organization,  particularly  in Europe  and Asia  Pacific,  including
           Japan. This increase might not proportionally increase with increases
           in volume if the Company's sales continue to gravitate toward desktop
           and embedded products, which require less support from the Company as
           the OEM partners take over this role.

           General and Administrative

           General and  administrative  expenses consist  primarily of personnel
           expenses and, to a lesser extent,  depreciation  and facility  costs,
           professional  fees and other costs associated with public  companies.
           General  and  administrative  expenses  were  $6.4  million  or 4% of
           revenue for the three months  ended June 30,  2000,  compared to $4.8
           million or 3% of revenue for the three  months  ended June 30,  1999.
           For the six  months  ended  June  30,  2000  and  1999,  general  and
           administrative  expenses were $11.4 million or 4% of revenue and $9.0
           million or 3% of revenue, respectively. The increase in both absolute
           dollars  and  as  a  percentage  of  revenue  result  from  increased
           headcount to support the needs of the Company's  growing  operations,
           as well as increased investments in business development initiatives,
           legal  activities  associated  with  registering  and  defending  our
           intellectual  property  and  actions  related  to the  Company's  new
           Netherlands  Customer  Service  Center.  The Company expects that its
           general  and  administrative  expenses  may  continue  to increase in
           absolute  dollars and  possibly  also as a  percentage  of revenue in
           order to support the Company's efforts to grow its business.


Other Income

Other income relates mainly to interest income and expense, and gains and losses
on  foreign  currency  transactions.  Other  income  of  $5.6  million  for  the
three-month  period  ended June 30, 2000  increased by 41% from $4.0 million for
the  three-month  period ended June 30, 1999.  For the six months ended June 30,
2000 other  income  was $11.1  million;  a 49%  increase  from the $7.5  million
reported for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The increase in other income is
primarily  driven by the increased cash flow seen over the past several quarters
and the correspondingly  higher short-term investment balances and higher market
interest  rates.  Other income may be reduced in future  quarters as the Company
utilizes  funds  for  repurchasing  shares,  thereby  decreasing  cash  balances
available to earn interest income.


Income Taxes

The Company's effective tax rate was 33% for the three and six months ended June
30, 2000 and 34% for the three and six months  ended June 30,  1999.  In each of
these periods,  the Company benefited from tax-exempt  interest income,  foreign
sales, and the utilization of the research and development  credits in achieving
a consolidated  effective tax rate lower than that  prescribed by the respective
Federal and State taxing authorities. The Company currently anticipates that the
tax rate for the remainder of 2000 will remain approximately 33%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term  investments decreased by $14.0 million to
$456.3 million as of June 30, 2000, from $470.3 million as of December  31,1999.
The decrease in cash resulted from the Company's stock repurchase  program begun
during the second  quarter of 2000 as well as the payments of  estimated  income
taxes.  Working capital  increased by $25.5 million to $513.1 million as of June
30, 2000, up from $487.6  million as of December 31, 1999.  These  increases are
primarily the result of net income,  changes of balance sheet components and the
exercise of employee stock options.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2000
was $25.4  million.  The Company  has  continued  to invest  cash in  short-term
investments,  mainly  municipal  securities.  Purchases  in  excess  of sales of
short-term  investments  were $68.7  million  for the six months  ended June 30,
2000. The Company's  capital  expenditures  generally  consist of investments in
computers and related  peripheral  equipment and office furniture for use in the
Company's operations.  The Company purchased  approximately $7.3 million of such
equipment and furniture during the six months ended June 30, 2000.

In 1997, the Company began development of a corporate campus on a 35-acre parcel
of land in Foster  City,  California.  During  1997 and 1998 the  Company  spent
approximately  $27.3 million on the land and associated  improvement  costs.  In
addition to purchasing  the land, the Company  entered into an agreement  ("1997
Lease") to lease a ten-story  295,000  square foot building to be constructed on
the site. The lessor of the building  funded $56.8 million for the  construction
of the building. In July 1999 the Company completed construction of the building
and began making rent payments.  Also in conjunction with the lease, the Company
has entered  into a separate  ground  lease with the lessor of the  building for
approximately 35 years.

In December 1999 the Company entered into a second  agreement  ("1999 Lease") to
lease  a  maximum  of  543,000  square  feet  of  additional  facilities,  to be
constructed  adjacent  to the first  building  discussed  above.  The lessor has
committed  to fund a  maximum  of $137.0  million  for the  construction  of the
facilities,  with  the  portion  of  the  committed  amount  actually  used  for
construction to be determined by the Company.  Rent obligations for the building
will bear a direct  relationship to the carrying cost of the  commitments  drawn
down.  Construction of the facilities began in January 2000 and is scheduled for
completion over the next 36 months.  In connection  with the lease,  the Company
entered into a lease of the related parcels of land in Foster City to the lessor
of the  buildings at a nominal  rate and for a term of 30 years.  If the Company
does not renew the building lease, the ground lease converts to a market rate.

Both leases have an initial term of seven years,  with options to renew  subject
to certain conditions.  The Company may, at its option,  purchase the facilities
during  or at the end of the term of the lease for the  amount  expended  by the
respective lessor to construct the facilities. The Company has guaranteed to the
lessors a residual value associated with the buildings equal to 82% of the their
funding.  The Company may be liable to the lessor for the amount of the residual
guarantee if it either defaults on a covenant, fails to renew the lease, or does
not  purchase  or locate a purchaser  for the leased  building at the end of the
lease term.  During the term of the leases the Company  must  maintain a minimum
tangible net worth.  In  addition,  the Company has pledged  certain  marketable
securities,  which is in proportion to the amount drawn under each lease.  Under
the 1997 Lease, the pledged  collateral  ($70.8 million at June 30, 2000) may be
withdrawn at any time, but  withdrawal  results in an increase to the lease rate
and the  imposition of additional  financial  covenant  restrictions.  The funds
pledged  under the 1999 Lease ($2.9 million at June 30, 2000) may be invested by
the  Company in  certain  securities,  however  the funds are  restricted  as to
withdrawal at all times.

Net cash used in  financing  activities  was $33.3  million.  The  common  stock
repurchase program,  begun in June 2000, used cash funds of $44.1 million during
the second  quarter of 2000.  The  exercises of common stock  options net of the
associated tax benefits  provided $11.5 million in cash. The Company  expects to
complete the $100 million stock repurchase  authorized by the Board of Directors
in the third quarter of 2000.

The Company's inventory consists primarily of memory subsystems,  processors and
ASICs,  which are sold to third party  contract  manufacturers  responsible  for
manufacturing  substantially all of the Company's products. The Company believes
that,  should  the  services  of  any of  these  contract  manufacturers  become
unavailable,  a  significant  negative  impact  on  the  Company's  consolidated
financial  position and results of operations could result.  The Company is also
reliant on several  sole-source  suppliers for certain key  components and could
experience a further

                                       14

<PAGE>

significant  negative impact on its consolidated  financial position and results
of operations if such supply were reduced or not  available.  Should the Company
decide to purchase components and do its own manufacturing,  or should it become
necessary  for the  Company  to  purchase  and sell  components  other  than the
processors, ASICs or memory subsystems for its contract manufacturers, inventory
balances would increase significantly,  thereby reducing the Company's available
cash resources.

The Company,  along with its directors and certain  officers and employees,  has
been named in class action  lawsuits filed in both the San Mateo County Superior
Court  and the  United  States  District  Court  for the  Northern  District  of
California.  The  lawsuits  are all  related to the  precipitous  decline in the
trading price of the Company's stock that occurred in December 1997. The Company
believes the lawsuits are without merit and is contesting them  vigorously,  but
there can be no assurance  that if damages are  ultimately  awarded  against the
Company,  the  litigation  will not adversely  affect the  Company's  results of
operations.

The Company  believes that its existing  capital  resources,  together with cash
generated from  continuing  operations will be sufficient to fund its operations
and meet capital requirements through at least 2001.


Euro Assessment

Eleven of the fifteen member  countries of the European  Union have  established
fixed conversion rates between their existing sovereign  currencies and the euro
and have adopted the euro as a common  currency as of January 1, 1999.  The euro
is trading on currency exchanges and is available for non-cash transactions. The
conversion to the euro is not expected to have a material  adverse effect on the
operating  results of the  Company as the Company  predominantly  invoices in US
dollars.  The Company is currently in the process of  evaluating  the  reporting
requirements  in the  respective  countries  and the related  system,  legal and
taxation  requirements.  The Company expects that required modifications will be
made on a timely  basis and that  such  modifications  will not have a  material
adverse impact on the Company's  operating  results.  There can be no assurance;
however,  the Company will be able to complete such modifications to comply with
euro  requirements,  which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
operating results.


Factors That Could Adversely Affect Performance

Our performance may be adversely affected by the following factors:

We rely on sales to a relatively  small number of OEM partners,  and the loss of
any of these customers could substantially decrease our revenues

Because we sell our  products  primarily  to our OEM  partners,  we rely on high
sales volumes to a relatively small number of customers.  We expect that we will
continue  to depend on these  OEM  partners  for a  significant  portion  of our
revenues.  If we lose an  important  OEM or we are unable to recruit  additional
OEMs,  our revenues may be materially and adversely  affected.  We cannot assure
you that our major  customers  will continue to purchase our products at current
levels or that they will  continue to purchase our products at all. In addition,
our results of operations could be adversely affected by a decline in demand for
copiers or laser  printers,  other  factors  affecting our major  customers,  in
particular, or the computer industry in general.

We rely upon our OEM partners to develop new products,  applications and product
enhancements  in a timely  and  cost-effective  manner.  Our  continued  success
depends  upon the  ability of these  OEMs to meet  changing  customer  needs and
respond to emerging industry standards and other technological changes. However,
we cannot  assure you that our OEMs will  effectively  meet these  technological
challenges.  These OEMs, who are not within our control,  may  incorporate  into
their products the technologies of other companies in addition to, or instead of
our  products.  These  OEMs may  introduce  and  support  products  that are not
compatible with our products.  We rely on these OEMs to market our products with
their  products,  and if these OEMs do not  effectively  market our products our
sales revenue may be materially  and adversely  affected.  With the exception of
certain minimum purchase  obligations,  these OEMs are not obligated to purchase
products  from us. We cannot assure you that our OEMs will continue to carry our
products.

                                       15

<PAGE>

Our OEMs work  closely  with us to develop  products  that are  specific to each
OEM's copiers and printers. For many of the products we are developing,  we need
to coordinate development,  quality testing,  marketing and other tasks with our
OEMs. We cannot control our OEMs' development  efforts and coordinating with our
OEMs may cause delays that we cannot manage by ourselves. In addition, our sales
revenue and results of  operations  may be adversely  affected if we cannot meet
our OEM's product  needs for their  specific  copiers and  printers,  as well as
successfully  manage the  additional  engineering  and support  effort and other
risks  associated  with such a wide range of  products.  Any delays in our OEM's
ability  to  design  and  market  a  product  with  our  assistance  may  have a
significant impact on our revenues and results of operations.

We are pursuing,  and will continue to pursue, the business of additional copier
and printer OEMs. However,  because there are a limited number of OEMs producing
copiers and printers in sufficient volume to be attractive  customers for us, we
expect that customer concentration will continue to be a risk.


If we are unable to develop new products,  or execute product introductions on a
timely basis, our future revenue and operating results may be harmed.

Our  operating  results  will  depend  to  a  significant  extent  on  continual
improvement of existing  technologies  and rapid  innovation of new products and
technologies.  Our success  depends  not only on our  ability to predict  future
requirements,  but  also  on both  our and our  OEM's  ability  to  develop  and
introduce new products that  successfully  address customer needs. Any delays in
the  launch or  availability  of new  products  we are  planning  could harm our
financial  results.  During  transitions from existing products to new products,
customers  may delay or cancel  orders for  existing  products.  Our  results of
operations may be adversely  affected if we cannot  successfully  manage product
transitions or provide  adequate  availability  of products after they have been
introduced.

In  this  environment,  we must  continue  to make  significant  investments  in
research and development in order to enhance  performance and  functionality  of
our  products,  including  product  lines  different  than our Fiery servers and
embedded  controllers.  We cannot assure you that we will successfully  identify
new product  opportunities,  develop and  introduce  new products to market in a
timely manner, and achieve market acceptance of our products. Also, if we decide
to develop new products,  our research and development  expenses may increase in
the short term without a corresponding  increase in revenue.  Finally, we cannot
assure you those products and  technologies  developed by others will not render
our products or technologies obsolete or noncompetitive.


We  license   software   used  in  most  of  our  products  from  Adobe  Systems
Incorporated,  and the loss of this license would prevent us from shipping these
products

Under our license agreements with Adobe, a separate license must be granted from
Adobe to us for each  type of  copier or  printer  used  with a Fiery  Server or
Controller.  If Adobe does not grant us such licenses or approvals, if the Adobe
license  agreements  are  terminated,  or if  our  relationship  with  Adobe  is
otherwise  impaired,  our financial  condition and results of operations  may be
harmed.  To  date,  we  have  successfully  obtained  licenses  to  use  Adobe's
PostScript(TM) software for our products, where required.  However, we cannot be
assured   that  Adobe  will   continue  to  grant   future   licenses  to  Adobe
PostScript(TM)  software on reasonable  terms, in a timely manner, or at all. We
are required to submit new products to Adobe for testing  prior to shipping.  We
cannot be assured  that Adobe will  continue  to give us the  quality  assurance
approvals we are required to obtain from Adobe for the Adobe licenses.


If the demand for products that enable printing of digital data  decreases,  our
sales revenue may decrease

Our products are primarily targeted at enabling the printing of digital data. If
demand  for this  service  declines,  or if the  demand  for the OEM's  specific
printers or copiers  that our products  are  designed  for  declines,  our sales
revenue may be adversely  affected.  Although demand for networked  printers and
copiers has  increased in recent  years,  we cannot  assure you that such demand
will  continue,  nor can we control  whether  the demand will  continue  for the
specific OEM printers  and copiers  that utilize our  products.  We believe that
demand for our products may also be affected by a variety of economic conditions
and  considerations,  and we cannot assure you that demand for our products will
continue at current levels.

                                       16

<PAGE>


If we enter new markets or  distribution  channels  this could result in delayed
revenues or higher operating expenses

We continue to explore opportunities to develop product lines different from our
Fiery  servers  and  embedded  controllers,  such  as our new  line of  Velocity
software  products and EFI Professional  Services.  We expect to invest funds to
develop distribution and marketing channels for new products and services. We do
not know if we will be successful in  developing  these  channels or whether the
market will accept any of our new products or services. In addition,  even if we
are able to introduce new products or services,  these products and services may
adversely impact the Company's operating results.


We face competition  from other suppliers as well as our own OEM customers,  and
if we are not able to compete successfully then our business may be harmed

Our industry is highly  competitive and is characterized by rapid  technological
changes. We compete against a number of other suppliers of imaging products.  We
cannot assure you that products or technologies developed by competing suppliers
will not render our products or technologies obsolete or noncompetitive.

While many of our OEM's sell our products on an exclusive  basis, we do not have
any formal agreements that prevent the OEMs from offering alternative  products.
If an OEM offers  products  from  alternative  suppliers  our market share could
decrease,  which could reduce our revenue and  negatively  affect our  financial
results.

Our OEM partners may themselves  internally  develop and supply products similar
to our current products. These OEMs may be able to develop similar products that
are compatible  with their own products more quickly than we can. These OEMs may
choose to market their own products,  even if these products are technologically
inferior, have lower performance or cost more. We cannot assure you that we will
be able to continue to successfully  compete against similar products  developed
internally by our OEMs or against their  financial  and other  resources.  If we
cannot compete successfully against our OEMs' internally developed products, our
business may be harmed.


If we are not able to hire and retain skilled  employees,  we may not be able to
develop products or meet demand for our products in a timely fashion

We depend upon  skilled  employees,  such as software  and  hardware  engineers,
quality assurance engineers and other technical professionals. We are located in
the Silicon Valley where  competition  among  companies to hire  engineering and
technical  professionals  is intense.  It is difficult for us to locate and hire
qualified  engineers  and  technical  professionals  and for us to retain  these
people.  There are many technology companies located nearby that may try to hire
our  employees.  The  movement of our stock price may also impact our ability to
hire and retain employees. If we do not offer competitive  compensation,  we may
not be able to recruit or retain employees.  If we cannot  successfully hire and
retain  employees,  we may not be able to  develop  products  timely  or to meet
demand for our products in a timely fashion and our results of operations may be
adversely impacted.


Our  operating  results  may  fluctuate  based upon many  factors,  which  could
adversely affect our stock price

We expect our stock price to vary with our operating results and,  consequently,
adverse  fluctuations could adversely affect our stock price.  Operating results
may fluctuate due to:

    o    demand for our products;

    o    success and timing of new product introductions;

    o    our OEM's ability to get new products to market in a timely fashion;

    o    changes in interest rates and  availability of bank or financing credit
         to consumers of digital copiers and printers;

    o    price reductions by us and our competitors;

    o    delay, cancellation or rescheduling of orders;

    o    product performance;

    o    availability  of  key  components,  including  possible  delays  in the
         deliveries from suppliers;

    o    the status of our relationships with our OEM partners;

                                       17

<PAGE>


    o    the performance of third-party manufacturers;

    o    the status of our relationships with our key suppliers;

    o    potential  excess  or  shortage  of  skilled  employees;  and

    o    general economic conditions.

Many of our products,  and the related OEM copiers and  printers,  are purchased
utilizing  lease  contracts or bank  financing.  If  prospective  purchasers  of
digital  copiers and  printers  are unable to obtain  credit,  or interest  rate
changes make credit terms undesirable,  this may significantly reduce the demand
for  digital  copiers  and  printers,  negatively  impacting  our  revenues  and
operating results.

Typically we do not have long-term volume purchase contracts with our customers,
and a  substantial  portion of our backlog is scheduled  for delivery  within 90
days or less.  Our  customers  may cancel  orders and  change  volume  levels or
delivery times for product they have ordered from us without penalty. However, a
significant portion of our operating expenses are fixed in advance,  and we plan
these  expenditures  based on the sales  forecasts  from our OEM  customers  and
product development programs. If we were unable to adjust our operating expenses
in response to a shortfall in our sales,  it could harm our quarterly  financial
results.

We attempt to hire additional  employees to match growth in projected demand for
our products. If we project a higher demand than materializes,  we will hire too
many  employees  and  incur  expenses  that we need  not have  incurred  and our
operating margins may be lower. If we project a lower demand than  materializes,
we will  hire  too few  employees,  we may  not be able to meet  demand  for our
products and our sales revenue may be lower.  If we cannot  successfully  manage
our growth, our results of operations may be harmed.


The value of our investment portfolio will decrease if interest rates increase

We have an investment portfolio of mainly fixed income securities  classified as
available-for-sale  securities. As a result, our investment portfolio is subject
to interest rate risk and will fall in value if market  interest rates increase.
We attempt to limit this exposure to interest  rate risk by investing  primarily
in short-term  securities.  We may be unable to  successfully  limit our risk to
interest  rate  fluctuations  and this may cause  our  investment  portfolio  to
decrease in value.


Our stock price has been and may continue to be volatile

Our  common  stock,  and the  stock  market  generally,  have  from time to time
experienced  significant  price and volume  fluctuations.  The market prices for
securities  of  technology   companies  have  been  especially   volatile,   and
fluctuations   in  the  stock  market  are  often  unrelated  to  the  operating
performance  of  particular  companies.  These  broad  market  fluctuations  may
adversely  affect the market price of our common  stock.  Our common stock price
may also be affected by the factors discussed above in this section as well as:

    o    Fluctuations  in our  results of  operations,  revenues  or earnings or
         those of our competitors;

    o    Failure of such results of operations, revenues or earnings to meet the
         expectations of stock market analysts and investors;

    o    Changes in stock market analysts' recommendations regarding us;

    o    Real or perceived technological advances by our competitors;

    o    Political  or economic  instability  in regions  where our products are
         sold or used; and

    o    General market and economic conditions.


We face risks from our international operations and from currency fluctuations

Approximately  53% of our revenue for the three  months  ended June 30, 2000 and
1999,  came from sales outside North America,  primarily to Europe and Japan. We
expect  that  sales  to  international   destinations  will  continue  to  be  a
significant  portion  of our total  revenue.  You  should  be aware  that we are
subject to certain risks because of our  international  operations.  These risks
include the regulatory  requirements of foreign  governments  which may apply to
our products,  as well as requirements for export licenses which may be required
for the export of certain  technologies.  The necessary  export  licenses may be
delayed or difficult to obtain,  which could cause a delay in our

                                       18

<PAGE>

international  sales and hurt our product  revenue.  Other risks  include  trade
protection measures,  natural disasters, and political or economic conditions in
a specific country or region.

We believe that economic conditions in other parts of the world, such as Brazil,
may also limit demand for our products.  The move to a single European currency,
the euro,  and the  resulting  central  bank  management  of  interest  rates to
maintain  fixed  currency  exchange  rates among the member  nations may lead to
economic conditions which adversely impact sales of our products.

Given the significance of our export sales to our total product revenue, we face
a continuing risk from the  strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus the Japanese
yen, the euro and other major European currencies,  and numerous Southeast Asian
currencies,  which could cause lower unit demand and the necessity that we lower
average selling prices for our products because of the reduced strength of local
currencies.  Either of these events  could harm our  revenues and gross  margin.
Although we typically invoice our customers in U.S. dollars,  when we do invoice
our  customers in local  currencies,  our cash flows and earnings are exposed to
fluctuations in interest rates and foreign  currency  exchange rates between the
currency of the invoice and the U.S. dollar.  We attempt to limit or hedge these
exposures through operational  strategies and financial market instruments where
we consider it  appropriate.  To date we have mostly used  forward  contracts to
reduce our risk from  interest  rate and  currency  fluctuations.  However,  our
efforts  to  reduce  the  risk  from  our  international   operations  and  from
fluctuations  in foreign  currencies  or interest  rates may not be  successful,
which would harm our financial condition and operating results.


We may be unable to adequately protect our proprietary information

We rely on a  combination  of  copyright,  patent and trade  secret  protection,
nondisclosure  agreements,  and licensing and  cross-licensing  arrangements  to
establish and protect our proprietary  rights. Any failure to adequately protect
our  proprietary  information  could harm our financial  condition and operating
results.  We cannot be  certain  that any  patents  that may be issued to us, or
which we license from third parties, or any other of our proprietary rights will
not be  challenged,  invalidated  or  circumvented.  In  addition,  we cannot be
certain  that any rights  granted  to us under any  patents,  licenses  or other
proprietary   rights  will  provide  adequate   protection  of  our  proprietary
information.


We face risks from third party claims of infringement and potential litigation

Third  parties may claim that our  products  infringe,  or may  infringe,  their
proprietary   rights.   Such  claims  could  result  in  lengthy  and  expensive
litigation.  Such  claims  and any  related  litigation,  whether  or not we are
successful in the litigation, could result in substantial costs and diversion of
our  resources.  Although  we may seek  licenses  from  third  parties  covering
intellectual property that we are allegedly infringing, we cannot guarantee that
any such licenses could be obtained on acceptable terms, if at all.


Our products may contain defects that are not discovered until after shipping.

Our products consist of hardware and software developed by ourselves and others.
Our products may contain  undetected  errors when first  introduced  or when new
versions are released,  and we have in the past discovered software and hardware
errors in certain of our new products after their introduction.  There can be no
assurance  that errors would not be found in new versions of our products  after
commencement of commercial  shipments,  or that any such errors would not result
in a loss or delay  in  market  acceptance  and thus  harm  our  reputation  and
revenues.  In  addition,  errors in our products  (including  errors in licensed
third party  software)  detected  prior to new product  releases could result in
delays in the introduction of new products and incurring of additional  expense,
which could harm our operating results.


Seasonal purchasing patterns of our OEM customers have historically caused lower
fourth quarter revenue, which may negatively impact the stock price

Our results of operations have typically  followed a seasonal pattern reflecting
the buying  patterns of our large OEM customers.  In the past, our fiscal fourth
quarter  results  have been  adversely  affected  because some or all of our OEM
customers  wanted to decrease,  or otherwise  delay,  fourth quarter orders.  In
addition,  the first  fiscal  quarter

                                       19

<PAGE>

traditionally  has been a  weaker  quarter  because  our OEM  partners  focus on
training of their sales forces.  The primary  reasons for this seasonal  pattern
are:

    o    Fluctuation in demand for our products from our OEM partners,  who have
         historically   sought  to  minimize   year-end   inventory   investment
         (including  the  reduction in demand  following  introductory  "channel
         fill" purchases). Fluctuation in demand is also caused by timing of new
         product releases and training by our OEM partners; and

    o    The fact that our OEM partners have achieved their yearly sales targets
         and consequently  delayed further  purchases into the next fiscal year,
         and the fact that we do not know when our  partners  reach  these sales
         targets as they generally do not share them with us.

As a result of these  factors,  we believe that period to period  comparisons of
our  operating  results  are not  meaningful,  and you  should  not rely on such
comparisons  to predict  our  future  performance.  We  anticipate  that  future
operating  results  may  fluctuate  significantly  due to this  seasonal  demand
pattern.


We may make future  acquisitions  and acquisitions  involve  numerous  financial
risks

We seek to develop new technologies and products from both internal and external
sources.  As part of this effort,  we may make  acquisitions  of, or significant
investments in, other companies.  Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including
the following:

    o    Difficulties in integration of operations, technologies, or products;

    o    Risks  of  entering  markets  in  which  we  have  little  or no  prior
         experience,  or entering markets where competitors have stronger market
         positions;

    o    Possible write-downs of impaired assets; and

    o    Potential loss of key employees of the acquired company.

Mergers and acquisitions of companies are inherently risky, and we cannot assure
you that our previous or future  acquisitions  will be  successful  and will not
harm our business, operating results, financial condition, or stock price.


The  location and  concentration  of our  facilities  subjects us to the risk of
earthquakes, floods or other natural disasters

Our  corporate  headquarters,  including  most of our research  and  development
facilities and  manufacturing  operations,  are located in the San Francisco Bay
Area of Northern California,  an area known for seismic activity.  This area has
also  experienced  flooding in the past.  In  addition,  many of the  components
necessary to supply our products are purchased  from  suppliers  subject to risk
from natural  disasters,  based in areas  including  the San Francisco Bay Area,
Taiwan,  and Japan. A significant  natural disaster,  such as an earthquake or a
flood, could harm our business, financial condition, and operating results.


We are dependent on  sub-contractors  to manufacture and deliver products to our
customers

We subcontract with other companies to manufacture our products.  We are totally
reliant  on the  ability  of our  subcontractors  to  produce  products  sold to
customers.  While we closely  monitor our  subcontractors  performance we cannot
assure you that such  subcontractors  will continue to perform for us as well as
they have in the past. We also cannot assure you that  difficulties  experienced
by our  subcontractors  (such as interruptions in a  subcontractor's  ability to
make or ship our products, or fix quality assurance problems) would not harm our
business, operating results, or financial condition.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk


Market Risk

The Company is exposed to various market risks, including the changes in foreign
currency exchange rates.  Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse
changes in market  rates and  prices,  such as  foreign  currency  exchange  and
interest rates.  The Company does not enter into  derivatives or other financial
instruments  for  trading or  speculative  purposes.  The  Company  enters  into
financial  instrument  contracts  to manage  and reduce the impact of changes in
foreign  currency  exchange  rates.  The   counterparties  are  major  financial
institutions.


Interest Rate Risk

The fair value of the Company's  cash  portfolio at June 30, 2000,  approximated
carrying  value.  Market risk was  estimated as the  potential  decrease in fair
value resulting from an instantaneous  hypothetical 100 basis-point  increase in
interest rates for any debt instruments in the Company's  investment  portfolio.
As of June 30, 2000,  the Company's  cash and  short-term  investment  portfolio
includes debt  securities of $435.4 million subject to interest rate risk. A 100
basis-point increase in market interest rates would result in a decrease of fair
value of approximately $3.2 million.

The fair value of the Company's  long-term debt,  including current  maturities,
was  estimated to be $3.6 million as of June 30, 2000,  and equaled the carrying
value.  The Company's  long-term  debt  requires  interest  payments  based on a
variable rate and therefore is subject to interest rate risk. A 10%  fluctuation
in  interest  rates  would not have a  material  effect on the fair value of the
outstanding long-term debt of the Company as of June 30, 2000.

PART II           Other Information


     ITEM 1.          Legal Proceedings

On December 20, 1999,  EFI filed suit against  Splash  Technology  Holdings Inc.
("Splash") for Splash's infringement of three EFI patents. The lawsuit was filed
in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.  On
January  10,  2000,  Splash  answered  the  complaint  and filed a  counterclaim
alleging that EFI infringed one Splash  patent.  On July 31, 2000 we amended our
complaint to accuse all of Splash's  color  server  products of  infringing  our
patents.  Both our lawsuit and the Splash  counterclaim seek declaratory relief,
permanent injunctions, damages (including enhanced damages), attorneys' fees and
other costs.

The case is currently in the discovery stage. Based on current  information,  we
believe  the  counterclaim  to  be  without  merit  and  intend  to  defend  the
counterclaim vigorously.  In connection with these legal proceedings,  we expect
to incur substantial legal and other expenses.  Patent lawsuits of this kind are
highly  complex  and can  extend  for a  protracted  period  of time,  which can
substantially  increase the cost of such  litigation and divert the attention of
management from the operations.
