        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), 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
           Rimage Corporation and Rimage Europe GmbH. The Rimage Services
           Division consists of Rimage Services and Rimage Boulder. During the
           third quarter of 1998, the Company ceased operations of its
           Bloomington Service division (Rimage Services) and sold the equipment
           and inventory associated with it.

         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 prior year amounts have
           been reclassified to conform with the current quarter presentation.


                                                                     (Continued)

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ significantly from
those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or
contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, changes in media
or method used for distribution of software, technological changes in products
offered by the Company or its competitors and changes in general conditions in
the computer market.

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 months ended March 31, 1999
reflected the continued trend of growth in the systems division and lower
contribution from the services division.

REVENUES. Revenues decreased 10.3% from $9.6 million during the first quarter of
1998 to $8.7 million during the first quarter of 1999. All of the decrease,
however, occurred in the services division, which recorded a 67.7% decline in
revenues from $3.5 million in the first quarter of 1998 to $1.1 million in the
first quarter of 1999. This decrease was primarily attributable to the
divestiture of the Company's Bloomington, Minnesota services operation in August
1998. The Company's ongoing intent to focus its sales efforts more heavily
towards developing the systems' division current distribution network created
increased sales of its CD-R products. Expanded market penetration caused
revenues in the systems division to increase 22.6% to $7.5 million in the first
quarter of 1999 from $6.1 in the first quarter of 1998.

As of and for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, foreign revenues from
unaffiliated customers, operating earnings, and net identifiable assets were
$2,522,000, $370,000 and $2,917,000, respectively. As of and for the quarter
ended March 31, 1998, foreign revenues from unaffiliated customers, operating
loss, and net identifiable assets were $1,761,000, $199,000, and $1,908,000,
respectively. The growth is due to significant penetration in the European
markets of sales of CD-R products.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit as a percent of revenues was 47.9% during the first
quarter of 1999 compared to 39.6% during the same period of 1998. Systems
division gross profit as a percent of revenues remained relatively consistent at
51.2% during the first quarter of 1999 compared to 52.3% during the same period
of 1998. Services division gross profit as a percent of revenues was 26.1%
during the first quarter of 1999 compared to 17.4% during the same period of
1998. The increase during the quarter is primarily due to the divestiture of the
Company's low margin Bloomington, Minnesota services operation during August
1998.

OPERATING EXPENSES. Operating expenses were $2.4 million or 27.9% of revenues
during the first quarter of 1999 compared to $2.6 million or 26.4% of revenues
during the same period of 1998. The increase in operating expenses as a percent
of revenues was a result of the divestiture of the Company's Bloomington,
Minnesota services operation during August 1998. The Bloomington operation's
operating expenses as a percent of revenues was 13.0% during the first quarter
of 1998.

Sales and marketing expenses remained relatively constant during the three month
comparative periods but increased as a percent of revenues, again, due to the
divestiture of the Company's Bloomington, Minnesota services operation. Research
and development expense as a percent of revenues increased from 5.3% during the
first quarter of 1998 to 6.9% during the same period of 1999. This increase is
in line with the Company's objective to continue to direct more resources to
research and development activities.

OTHER INCOME/(EXPENSE). During June 1998, the Company repaid the outstanding
balance of its Term Note with the bank. During the third quarter of 1998, the
Company eliminated debt associated with a capital lease on certain CD-ROM
equipment and renegotiated capital leases which resulted in their
reclassification as operating leases and the elimination of future interest
expense. As a result of these transactions, the Company recognized net interest
income of $100,000 during the first quarter of 1999 on cash investments. Net
interest expense during the first quarter of 1998 totaled $92,000.

INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes represents federal, state, and
foreign income taxes on earnings before income taxes. Income tax expense for the
first quarter of 1999 amounted to $674,000 as compared to $173,000 for the first
quarter of 1998. Net earnings are reflected at a fully taxed rate of 38% for
1999 compared to 15% for 1998 due to the reversal of the valuation allowance
during 1998 since, with the continued earnings, management has determined it
more likely than not the deferred tax asset will be realized.

NET EARNINGS. The significant change in mix of revenues to higher margin product
sales in the systems division and the Company's elimination of all long-term
debt during the latter half of 1998 caused earnings before income taxes to
increase from $1.2 million for the first quarter of 1998 to $1.8 million for the
first quarter of 1999. As a result of the Company's fully taxed status in 1999,
net earnings for the first quarter of 1999 increased only slightly over net
earnings for the same period in 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company expects to fund its anticipated cash requirements (including the
anticipated cash requirements of its capital expenditures) with internally
generated funds and, if required, from the Company's existing credit agreement.

Current assets are $16,471,000 as of March 31, 1999 as compared to $15,364,000
as of December 31, 1998, primarily reflecting normal operating activity. The
allowance for doubtful accounts as a percentage of receivables was 2% and 4% as
of March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively. The change in property
and equipment principally reflects capital expenditures for development
equipment and leasehold improvements. Current liabilities increased
approximately 4% to $5,123,000 as of March 31, 1999 from $4,941,000 as of
December 31, 1998, reflecting the increase in income taxes payable netted with
normal reductions in accounts payable.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,605,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 compared to $1,212,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1998. The increase in cash flow from operating activities from 1998 to 1999 was
greatly impacted by increased sales of higher margin CD-R products. Net cash
used by investing activities of $477,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1999 and $162,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 primarily reflects
capital expenditures.


                                       12
<PAGE>


At March 31, 1999, the Company had no significant commitments to purchase
additional capital equipment. Net cash provided by financing activities of
$229,000 during the three months ended March 31, 1999 reflected stock option
proceeds. Net cash used in financing activities of $268,000 during the three
months ended March 31, 1998 principally reflect repayments of debt under the
credit agreement.

The Company believes that inflation has not had a material impact on its
operations or liquidity to date.

YEAR 2000 READINESS

The Company believes the approach of the Year 2000 could have a material effect
on the Company's business, results of operations, and financial condition if it
were to avoid the related consequences. To mitigate these potential
consequences, the Company has identified the following areas as requiring
significant analysis: 1) manufactured products, 2) information technology
applications, 3) information technology end user supported applications, 4)
information technology infrastructure, 5) business partners - both vendors and
customers, 6) manufacturing equipment, 7) facility operations (non-information
technology systems). The Company has also identified five phases associated with
each area described above as follows: 1) awareness - educating all levels of the
Company about the importance of Year 2000 readiness; 2) assessment - identify
all electronic systems which are date-sensitive and assess which systems are not
Year 2000 ready; 3) renovation - develop a strategy to repair, replace or retire
the system; 4) validation - testing of changed programs and date files to ensure
they are Year 2000 ready; and 5) implementation - placing the renovated and
validated systems into everyday use. Currently, the Company is in the renovation
and validation phases of its plan to prepare itself for the Year 2000. The
following table describes the Company's estimated completion date for each
remaining phase:

                                  Renovation        May 1999
                                  Validation        July 1999
                                  Implementation    August 1999

Through March 31, 1999, the Company has incurred costs of approximately $90,000
directly attributable to addressing Year 2000 issues. The Company estimates the
remaining costs that will be incurred in connection with its analysis of Year
2000 issues to be approximately $10,000. The following are some of its most
reasonably likely worst case Year 2000 scenarios the Company has identified: 1)
The Company's manufacturing operations consist primarily of the assembly of
products from components purchased from third parties. While some parts are
stock "off the shelf" components, others are manufactured to the Company's
specifications. Although the Company believes it has identified alternative
assembly contractors for most of its subassemblies, an actual change in such
contractors, as a result of an inability to work with such contractor due to
Year 2000 consequences they face, would likely require a period of training and
testing. Accordingly, an interruption in a supply relationship or the production
capacity of one or more of such contractors could result in the Company's
inability to deliver one or more products for a period of several months. 2) The
Company sells most of its manufactured systems through a limited number of
authorized distributor wholesalers, who in turn provide warehousing,
distribution, and credit to a network of authorized value added resellers. The
interruption of product flow to one or more of these distributors due to their
inability to process date sensitive information could result in lower than
normal sales


                                       13
<PAGE>


revenues. To alleviate this decrease, the Company would redirect these sales to
the remaining distributors and/or sell directly to its value added resellers.

NEW EUROPEAN CURRENCY

On January 1, 1999, eleven of the fifteen member countries of the European Union
established fixed conversion rates between their existing currencies and the
euro, a new European currency, and adopted the euro as their common legal
currency (the "Euro Conversion"). Either the euro or a participating country's
present currency will be accepted as legal tender from January 1, 1999 to
January 1, 2002, from which date forward only the euro will be accepted.

The Company has customers located in European Union countries participating in
the Euro Conversion. Such customers will likely have to upgrade or modify their
computer systems and software to comply with the euro requirements. The amount
of money the Company anticipates spending in connection with product development
related to the Euro Conversion is not expected to have a material adverse effect
on the Company's results of operations or financial condition. The Euro
Conversion may also have competitive implications for the Company's pricing and
marketing strategies, which could be material in nature; however, any such
impact is not known at this time.

The Company has also modified its internal systems (such as payroll, accounting
and financial reporting to deal with the Euro Conversion. There is no assurance,
however, that all problems related to the Euro Conversion will be foreseen and
corrected, or that no material disruptions of the Company's business will occur.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS No. 133), effective in 2000,
established new standards for recognizing all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities, and measuring those instruments at fair value. At the present time,
the Company does not anticipate that SFAS No. 133 will have a material impact on
its financial position or results of operations.

MARKET RISK DISCLOSURE

The Company does not invest in any derivative financial instruments. See the
Company's most recent annual report filed on form 10K (Item 7A.). There has been
no material change in this information.

                               RIMAGE CORPORATION
              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
assumed conversion shares:
