        CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


(1)   BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

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

      The Company operates in two divisions, Rimage Systems Division and Rimage
      Services Division. The Rimage Systems Division consists of substantially
      all of the former Rimage Companies. The Rimage Services Division consists
      of Rimage Services in addition to the existing service business at Rimage
      Boulder.

      The Systems Division develops, manufactures and distributes high
      performance CD-Recordable (CD-R) publishing and duplication systems, and
      continues to support its long term involvement in diskette duplication and
      publishing equipment. The Services Division provides computer media
      duplication and production services to software developers and
      manufacturers and information publishers.

      The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the
      Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and
      Exchange Commission. These financial statements should be read in
      conjunction with the more detailed financial statements and notes thereto
      included in the Company's most recent annual report on Form 10-K.

      The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers as well as credit to
      a limited number of authorized distributor wholesalers, who in turn
      provide warehousing, distribution, and credit to a network of authorized
      value added resellers. These distributors and value added resellers sell
      and service a variety of hardware and software products.

      In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial
      statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring
      adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position
      and results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods
      presented. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to
      conform with the current presentation.
                                                                     (Continued)

(1)   BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS (CONTINUED)

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
      accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
      assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
      the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
      and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
      those estimates.

(5)   COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

      In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
      No. 130, REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME. This statement requires companies
      to classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in a
      financial statement and display the accumulated balance of other
      comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional
      paid-in capital in the equity section of the balance sheet, and is
      effective for the Company's year ending December 31, 1998. The Company's
      only item of other comprehensive income relates to foreign currency
      translation adjustments, and is presented separately on the balance sheet
      as required. If presented on the statement of operations for the three and
      six months ended June 30, 1998, comprehensive income would be $25,597 more
      than reported net income, due to foreign currency translation adjustments.

(6)   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

      In connection with the planned divestiture of a portion of the Company's
      services division, on July 30, 1998, the Company paid $1,385,528 to
      eliminate debt associated with a capital lease on certain CD-ROM
      equipment. The Company then sold a substantial portion of its CD-ROM
      equipment to a third party for $1,904,102 cash through a Bill of Sale
      agreement dated July 31, 1998. The Company will recognize a loss on the
      sale of the assets in its third quarter financial statements totaling
      approximately $460,000.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Rimage operates through two primary divisions: (1) the systems division designs,
manufactures and sells high performance, on-demand publishing and duplication
equipment for CD-R's, diskettes and tapes, and (2) the services division
provides media duplication and fulfillment services for most computer media
types, including CD-ROM, diskette, tape and other media such as ZIP and Jazz
disks. Results of operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 1998
reflected the continued trend of substantial growth and profitability in the
systems division and lower contribution from the services division.

REVENUE. Revenue decreased 14.5% from $10.3 million during the second quarter of
1997 to $8.8 million during the second quarter of 1998. All of the decrease,
however, occurred in the services division, which recorded a 50.5% decline in
revenue from $4.5 million in the second quarter of 1997 to $2.2 million in the
second quarter of 1998. Revenue in the services division was affected by
decreasing demand for diskette duplication services and as a result of the
Company's ongoing intent to focus its sales efforts more heavily towards
expanding the systems division current distribution network. Increasing sales of
its CD-R products, resulting from expanded market penetration, caused revenue in
the systems division to increase 13.5% to $6.6 million during the second quarter
of 1998 from $5.8 in the second quarter of 1997.

For the six months ended June 30, 1998, revenues of $18.5 million represented a
12.6% decrease as compared to revenues of $21.2 million during the same period
in 1997. Services division revenues decreased 45.8% from $10.6 million during
the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $5.8 million during the same period in
1998. Revenue in the services division was affected by the loss of a customer
that provided 11.0% of services sales during the first quarter of 1997, by
decreasing demand for diskette duplication services, and as a result of the
Company's ongoing intent to focus its sales efforts more heavily towards
expanding the systems division current distribution network. Primarily as a
result of continued increasing demand of CD-R related products, systems division
revenues increased 20.7% from $10.5 million during the six months ended June 30,
1997 to $12.7 million during the same period in 1998.

On July 31, 1998, the Company sold a substantial portion of the assets,
consisting primarily of CD-ROM production equipment, associated with its
Minnesota services operations and terminated services operations in Minnesota.
The Company recognized a $460,000 loss on such sale, which will be reflected in
other expense during the quarter ended September 30, 1998. The Minnesota
operations, which contributed $3.7 million to revenue during the six month
period, were operating at a $50,000 loss. Although the Company anticipates
generating increasing revenue in its systems division over the next few
quarters, it is unlikely that such revenues will offset the decrease in revenue
from discontinuation of the Minnesota services operation.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit as a percent of sales during the second quarter of
1998 was 42.0% compared to 28.0% during the same period of 1997. The increase
was due to the greater proportion of high margin systems sales in the 1998
quarter, primarily sales of CD-R equipment. Services division gross profit as a
percent of sales remained relatively constant comparing the second quarter

OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

of 1997 to the second quarter of 1998. Systems division gross profit as a
percent of sales during the second quarter of 1998 was 53.0% compared to 40.4%
during the same period of 1997. This increase is due to higher margin CD-R
products contributing a greater percentage of sales and due to manufacturing
efficiencies instituted during the latter half of 1997.

Gross profit as a percent of sales during the six month period ended June 30,
1998 was 40.7% compared to 25.8% during the same period of 1997. Systems
division gross profit as a percent of sales during the six month period ended
June 30, 1998 was 52.7% compared to 40.6% during the same period of 1997. The
increase in total and systems division gross profit as a percent of sales is due
to a larger mix of high margin CD-R product sales during the 1998 period and due
to manufacturing efficiencies instituted during the latter half of 1997.Services
division gross profit as a percent of sales remained relatively constant
comparing the second quarter of 1997 to the second quarter of 1998. With the
termination of Minnesota services operations and the resulting increase in the
proportion of revenue from the Company's systems division, margins should
continue to improve over the next several quarters.

OPERATING EXPENSE. Operating expense remained relatively constant comparing the
second quarter of 1997 to the second quarter of 1998 but increased as a
percentage of revenue from 21.6% in the second quarter of 1997 to 26.2% in the
second quarter of 1998. All of the increase in operating expense related to
increased sales and marketing expenses. During the second quarter of 1998, the
Company continued to expand its distribution network, both domestically and
internationally, for its systems products and has intensified the promotion of
joint marketing campaigns with distributors and value added resellers. These
steps, combined with the increasing percentage of overall sales from the systems
division (where products are sold through distribution) as opposed to services
(where services are generated primarily through contacts and advertisement) were
primary causes of sales and marketing expense to increase from $987,000 or 9.6%
of revenue in the second quarter of 1997 to $1,338,000 or 15.1% of revenue in
the second quarter of 1998. Partially offsetting the increased sales and
marketing expense was a decrease in general and administrative expense both in
terms of dollars (from $715,000 in the second quarter of 1997 to $568,000 in the
second quarter of 1998) and as a percentage of revenue (from 6.9% in the second
quarter of 1997 to 6.4% in the first quarter of 1998). Research and development
expense remained relatively constant between the periods. One of the Company's
principal objectives is to continue to reduce expenditures in administration as
a percentage of revenue and direct more resources to revenue producing
activities through selling and marketing expense. Accordingly, the Company
intends to continue spending in sales and marketing.

Operating expense increased from $4.5 million, or 21.3% of revenue, during the
six month period ended June 30, 1997 to $4.9 million, or 26.3% of revenue,
during the same period of 1998. All of the increase in operating expense related
to increased sales and marketing expenses. During the six months ended June 30,
1998, the Company expanded its distribution network to include 73 value added
resellers, both domestically and internationally, for its systems products and
has focused efforts to promote joint marketing campaigns with distributors and
value added resellers. These

steps, combined with the increasing percentage of overall sales from the systems
division (where products are sold through distribution) as opposed to services
(where services are generated primarily through contacts and advertisement) were
primary causes of sales and marketing expense to increase from $2.0 million or
9.3% of revenue during the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $2.6 million or
13.9% of revenue during the same period of 1998. General and administrative and
research and development expense remained relatively constant between the
periods. One of the Company's principal objectives is to continue to reduce
expenditures in administration as a percentage of revenue and direct more
resources to revenue producing activities through selling and marketing expense.
Accordingly, the Company intends to continue spending in sales and marketing.
With the disposition of the assets related to the Minnesota services operations,
the Company anticipates that both general and administrative expenses and sales
and marketing expenses will increase as a percent of revenues.

INTEREST EXPENSE. The Company repaid all outstanding borrowings under its line
of credit during the fourth quarter of 1997, substantially reducing net interest
expense from $245,000 in the second quarter of 1997 to $66,000 in the second
quarter of 1998. The Company's cash position at June 30 enabled it to extinguish
the outstanding balance of its Term Note with the bank in the amount of $1.2
million and to eliminate debt associated with a capital lease on certain CD-ROM
equipment in the amount of $1.4 million. As a result of these transactions, the
Company anticipates net interest expense will remain lower for the balance of
the year.

INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes represents federal, state, and
foreign income taxes on earnings before income taxes. Income tax expense for the
second quarter of 1998 amounted to $347,000 as compared to $60,000 for the
second quarter of 1997. The Company is currently using an estimated effective
tax rate of 25% to record income taxes during 1998, primarily representing
federal alternative minimum tax and state taxes. In accordance with FAS 109, the
Company periodically evaluates the need for a valuation allowance against its
deferred tax asset. As a result of expected continued earnings, the Company
expects to reduce the valuation allowance related to its deferred tax asset and
recognize a corresponding tax benefit in the third quarter of 1998. Thereafter,
the Company's operating results will be reported on a fully taxed basis.

NET EARNINGS. The significant change in mix of revenue to higher margin product
sales in the system division, combined with only marginal increases in operating
expense to support those sales, caused net earnings to increase dramatically to
over $1 million in the second quarter of 1998 and over $2 million for the six
month period ended June 30, 1998. The Company expects to continue to emphasize
and devote much of its resources to its systems business in coming quarters.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Operating activities generated $3.0 million of cash during the six months ended
June 30, 1998. This amount consisted of $3.1 million of cash generated from net
earnings after adjustment for non-cash

items (primarily depreciation and amortization). Cash used to finance increased
inventories was offset by an increase in accrued expenses.

The Company invested approximately $263,000 in additional equipment primarily
for manufacturing purposes. Financing activities consumed $304,000 of cash
primarily as a result of monthly payments under a term note agreement with its
bank. The remaining balance of the term note was subsequently paid off in July
of 1998.

The Company also maintains a revolving credit agreement with the same bank that
provides for borrowings of up to $5,000,000 based on qualifying balances of
varying assets. The Company estimates that it had available borrowing authority
of approximately $3.2 million under such line at June 30, 1998, but had no
outstanding advances under the line at that date.

The Company believes that the $3.2 million cash balance at June 30, 1998 and
available borrowings under its credit line will be more than adequate to finance
operations through the remainder of the calendar year.

                       RIMAGE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
              COMPUTATION OF NET EARNINGS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK


Basic net earnings per common share is determined by dividing net earnings by
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, unless the
result is anti-dilutive. Diluted net earnings per common share is determined by
dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
and common share equivalents outstanding, unless the result is anti-dilutive.
The following is a summary of the weighted average common shares outstanding and
common share equivalents:
