                   RIMAGE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
             CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Rimage
     Corporation, Rimage Europe Gmbh, Rimage Singapore, A/G Systems Inc. d/b/a
     Duplication Technology Inc. (Duplication Technology), ALF Products Inc.
     d/b/a ALF/Rimage (ALF Products) and Knowledge Access Inc. (Knowledge
     Access), collectively hereinafter referred to as the Company or Rimage.
     All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated
     upon consolidation.

     Effective September 29, 1995, Rimage Corporation and Dunhill Software
     Services Inc. (Dunhill) completed a merger.  Dunhill, who had been a
     significant customer of Rimage, is engaged in diskette duplication and
     production services.  For financial reporting purposes, the merger was
     recorded using the pooling-of interests method of accounting under
     generally accepted accounting principles.  Accordingly, the historical
     financial statements of Rimage presented for the three and nine month
     periods ended September 30, 1995 were restated to include the historical
     accounts and results of operations of Dunhill.

     As a result of this merger, Rimage  operates in two segments.  The Rimage
     Systems segment consists of substantially all of the former Rimage
     Companies, plus the newly formed optical systems division and Rimage
     Singapore subsidiary.  The Rimage Services segment consists of the former
     Dunhill operation in addition to the service business at Duplication
     Technology.

     Rimage Systems develops, manufactures and distributes diskette, tape, CD-
     Recordable, and CD-ROM publishing and replication equipment, and related
     software products.  Rimage Services provides diskette, tape  and CD-ROM
     duplication and production services to software developers and
     manufacturers and information publishers.

     The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers,  of which, the
     majority are computer hardware, software and service companies, software
     developers and manufacturers, and information publishers.

     The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by
     the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
     Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote
     disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
     condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although
     Rimage believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
     presented not misleading.

     In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments, consisting of only normal
     recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated
     financial position of the Company as of the dates and for the periods
     presented, have been made.  The results of operations for such interim
     periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
     the entire year.

                                   -7-                             (continued)
<PAGE>

     TERMINATION OF DUNHILL'S S-CORPORATION STATUS

     On September 29, 1995, Dunhill Software Services, Inc. terminated its 
     S-Corporation election. Under SEC rules, Dunhill's accumulated retained
     earnings of $2,611,979 as of the termination of the S-Corporation election
     was reclassified against additional paid-in-capital.

     STOCK OPTIONS

     Rimage adopted a stock option plan on September 24, 1992 which allows for
     the granting of options to purchase up to 250,000 shares of common stock to
     certain key administrative, managerial and executive employees.  Options
     under this plan may be either incentive stock options or non-qualified
     options.  In 1993, the Rimage board of directors increased the number of
     allowable shares to 500,000.  Pursuant to this plan, options to purchase
     290,453 shares are currently issued and outstanding.

(5)  1995 ACQUISITION

     Effective at the close of business on September 29, 1995, and pursuant to
     the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the Merger Agreement) dated June
     6, 1995 by and between Rimage Corporation (Rimage), and Dunhill Software
     Services Inc. (Dunhill), Rimage issued 1,100,000 shares of stock to the
     former Dunhill shareholders and Dunhill was merged into Rimage.  Dunhill
     provides diskette duplication and production services to software
     developers and manufacturers and information publishers, and  historically
     was one of Rimage's largest customers.  Rimage intends to continue such
     business for the foreseeable future.  This merger was recorded using the
     pooling-of-interests  method of accounting.  Accordingly,  the historical
     financial statements of Rimage presented for the three and nine month
     periods ended September 30, 1995 were restated to include the historical
     accounts and results of operations of Dunhill.

(6)  NOTES PAYABLE TO BANK

     On October 13, 1995, the Company signed a new Credit Agreement which
     consolidated and redefined all previously outstanding Rimage and Dunhill
     debt.  On August 29, 1996 the Company renewed and amended its earlier
     agreements.  This credit agreement covers the term and revolving notes
     discussed below.  The Company is required to maintain certain financial
     ratios as a part of the agreement.  The Company's working capital and
     leverage ratios were not in compliance as of and for the periods ended
     September 30, 1996, and the Company is currently negotiating with the bank
     to obtain the necessary waivers.

     The Company has a term note agreement with a bank.  Borrowings under the
     agreement are secured by substantially all Company assets, accrue interest
     at the bank's reference rate plus 3/4 percent and is payable in 8 equal
     monthly installments of $77,800 each that commenced on October 1, 1996 and
     which will continue until June 30, 1997 when the remaining balance shall be
     due. The interest rate was 9% on September 30, 1996.  The outstanding
     amount as of September 30, 1996 was $2,800,000.

     The Company also has a revolving line of credit agreement with a bank which
     expires on June 30, 1997, and which provides for borrowing up to
     $5,000,000.  Borrowings under this agreement are secured by substantially
     all Company assets and accrue interest at the bank's reference rate plus
     one-half percent.  Borrowings outstanding under this line were $4,020,000
     on September 30, 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Rimage designs, manufactures and sells computer media publishing, replication,
and printing systems, and also provides media duplication services.  The
Company's revenues decreased by 18% and 12% in the three months and nine months
ended September 30, 1996 when compared to corresponding 1995 revenues.
Consolidated net earnings (loss) for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1996 was $37,085 and ($812,799), respectively compared to
corresponding 1995 net loss of ($82,008) and ($167,684).

SYSTEMS SEGMENT - THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995

Systems revenues (which include equipment sold from Rimage Systems -
Minneapolis, Rimage Europe, Duplication Technology, and Knowledge Access
International) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 increased
by $2,904,238 and $6,181,173 respectively, when compared to the same periods of
1995.  These increases were a result of  the Company's transition to new
products, specifically away from diskette equipment and into CD-Recordable
("CDR")  and CD-ROM equipment.  The Company expects increasing revenue growth
from its optical products which are expected to exceed the declines of diskette
and equipment revenues.

Gross profit in the first three and six months of  1996 as a percentage of 
revenues, decreased to 26.5% and 32.0% respectively, from 28.7% and 40.3% in 
the same periods of 1995.  These decreases result from two main reasons;  
Sales mix changes resulting from revenues generated from the new CD-ROM 
equipment division that are higher revenue and lower margin in nature. And 
the prevalence in the diskette equipment industry of discounting sales prices 
for equipment which has resulted from soft demand caused by the shift to 
optical media products.

Operating expenses for three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 decreased
by $556,575 and $503,847 compared to  the expenses in the same periods of  1995.
These decreases are attributable to staff reductions at the Minneapolis Systems
and KAI divisions and were partially offset by the new 1996 divisions created
for Optical equipment and the opening of Rimage Singapore. Operating expenses,
as a percentage of revenues decreased in the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1996 to 25.2% and 34.5% respectively, from 52.8% and 55.9% in the
same periods of 1995.

Operating earnings (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996
improved to $104,598 and ($473,003) respectively, from ($1,118,384) and
($1,916,106) during the same periods of 1995.  This improvement was due to the
aforementioned revenue increases and operating expense reductions, but was
offset by the gross profit deterioration.

SERVICE SEGMENT - THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995

Service revenues (which include the revenues of the Rimage Service Group,
formerly "Dunhill", as well as the service business of Duplication Technology)
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 decreased by $5,644,417
and $10,508,126 compared to the same periods of 1995.  These decreases resulted
from the trend away from diskette and toward optical media, and also from the
decreased revenues associated with one large 1995 software release that did not
recur in 1996 and the reduced 1996 revenues from one other significant customer.
The Company had two significant customers that accounted for 32% and 17%,
respectively of service revenues in the first nine months of 1996.

Gross profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, as a
percentage of revenues, decreased to 17.1% and 15.2% respectively,  from 21.4%
and 18.4% during the same periods of 1995.  These decreases are mainly
attributable to the lower revenues and the fixed nature of some manufacturing
costs.

Operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996
decreased by $168,397 and $290,709 respectively, over operating expenses for the
same periods of 1995, but increased as a percentage of revenues to 16.3% and
15.1% in 1996 from 8.9% and 9.9% in 1995.   Operating expenses were relatively
fixed when compared to the lower revenues.

Operating earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996
declined substantially to $37,830 and $9,497 respectively, from $1,272,676 and
$2,107,292 for the same periods of 1995.  The declines result from the
aforementioned revenue reductions compared to cost of sales and operating
expenses that did not fall proportionally.

CONSOLIDATED THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995

Revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 decreased by
$2,740,179 and $4,326,953 when compared to the same periods of 1995.  These
decreases were a result of the reduced service revenues and were partially
offset by the increase in systems revenues.  The Company had one significant
customer which totaled 14% of revenues during the nine months ended September
30, 1996.

Gross profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 as a
percentage of revenues, decreased to 23.0% and 24.6% respectively, from 24.1%
and 25.6% during same periods of 1995.  These decreases are mainly due to the
change in revenue mix (new CD-ROM revenues which are lower margin in nature),
the sales discounting prevalent on diskette systems revenues, and the lower
service revenues on relatively stable fixed manufacturing costs.

Operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996
decreased by $724,970 and  $794,556 compared to  the same periods of 1995.
Operating expenses, as a percentage of sales in the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1996 were 21.8% and 26.0% respectively, compared to 22.7% and
25.1% in the same periods of 1995.   There were operating expense reductions in
existing businesses, which were partially offset by new expenses incurred in the
optical service, optical equipment, and Rimage Singapore divisions.


                                      -12-
<PAGE>

Net other expenses were approximately $205,000 and $122,000 lower for the three
and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 when compared to the same
periods of 1995, primarily due to currency exchange fluctuations, and 1995
merger expense of approximately $156,000.   The Company has not booked any
income tax benefit related to the 1996 losses.  Prior to the merger on September
30, 1995, Dunhill Software was a Subchapter-S Corporation and thus was not
subject to federal income taxes.

Net earnings (loss) was $37,085 and ($812,799) respectively, for the three and
nine month periods ended September  30, 1996 versus ($82,008) and ($167,684) for
the same periods of 1995.  Net earnings (loss) per share was $.01 and ($.26)
respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 versus
($.03) and ($.05) for the same periods of 1995.  The increases in both loss and
loss per share are attributable to the gross margin deterioration, the
unrecorded tax benefit in 1996,  and the relatively stable fixed operating costs
incurred on smaller revenues.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $641,302 and
($1,394,421) in the first nine months of 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The 1996
increase resulted primarily from the reduction in accounts receivable of
$1,272,352 and was partially offset by the decrease in accounts payables of
$272,193 and the decrease in deferred income and customer deposits of $291,608.

     The cash used in investing activities was $4,674,258 and $1,324,287 during
the first nine months of 1996 and 1995, respectively.  In Third Quarter 1996,
the Company purchased approximately $4,100,000 in CD-ROM production equipment.
At September 30, 1996 the Company has no significant commitments to purchase
equipment.

     At September 30, 1996, the Company's working capital was approximately
$659,000 compared to $3,808,000 at December 31, 1995.  This difference results
primarily from capital equipment purchases, which have not yet been financed on
a long-term basis.   The net cash provided by  financing activities was
$3,879,676 and $1,484,952 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively, as the Company's note payable rose by $1,927,259 and it added
equipment lease financing of $1,822,770.

     The Company has a line of credit agreement totaling  $5,000,000 with a
bank, which expires on June 30, 1997.  Advances under this line of credit are
secured by substantially all the Company's assets, are subject to borrowing base
requirements, are due on demand and bear interest at the bank's reference rate
plus 3/4 percent.  At September 30, 1996, the Company had borrowings under this
line totaling $4,020,000. The Company also has a term note agreement totaling
$2,800,000 that is secured by substantially all the Company's assets, and bears
interest at the bank's reference rate plus 1/2 percent.   The Company is
currently negotiating with the bank to obtain waivers on the covenants and
requirements on which it was out of compliance on as of September 30, 1996. The
Company believes its banking relationship is good and that satisfactory
financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company for the
foreseeable future.

As of late September 1996, the Company has now added CD-ROM optical capacity 
to transition into the optical service business. The Company has obtained 
partial lease financing of $1,822,770 for its CD-ROM equipment purchases and 
is currently negotiating to obtain further lease financing on an approximate 
additional amount of $1,500,000.
