                       RIMAGE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
        CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(1)      BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

          Rimage Corporation (the Company) 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 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.

          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.
                                                                    (Continued)

              fixed assets and intangible assets of its Boulder, Colorado based
              Services Division to a third party. Accordingly, the consolidated
              financial statements of the Company have been reclassified to
              report separately the operating results of this discontinued
              division. For 1998, the discontinued operations also reflects the
              sale of the Bloomington, Minnesota Services Division. Revenues of
              the Services Division were $2,322,000 and $7,693,000 for the nine
              months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively and

 (4)     COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
          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 nine months ended September 30,
              1999 and 1998, comprehensive income would be $151,185 less than
              reported net income and $129,565 more than reported net income,
              respectively, due to foreign currency translation adjustments.

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.

As discussed in Note 2 of the Condensed Notes of the Consolidated Financial
Statements, the Company divested of its Services Division during the second
quarter of 1999. The comments that follow pertain to the Company's continuing
operations.

REVENUE. Revenue from continuing operations increased 34.8% from $7.3 million
during the third quarter of 1998 to $9.8 million during the third quarter of
1999. The Company's introduction of new hardware and software products for
publishing, duplication and network applications related to the CD-Recordable
(CD-R) market and strong international sales have facilitated this increase. As
a result of a maturing distribution network, 1999 third quarter revenue from the
Company's German subsidiary increased 47% over 1998 third quarter revenues.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, revenues from continuing
operations of $26.1 million represented a 30.2% increase as compared to revenues
from continuing operations of $20.0 million during the same period in 1998. This
increase is primarily a result of continued increasing demand of CD-R related
products. The Company is also continually adding to its worldwide distribution
network.

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

As of and for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, foreign revenues from
unaffiliated customers, operating earnings, and net identifiable assets were
$7,901,000, $527,000 and $3,651,000, respectively. As of and for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998, foreign revenues from unaffiliated customers,
operating income, and net identifiable assets were $5,731,000, $531,000 and
$3,127,000, respectively. The revenue growth is due to increasing penetration of
CD-R products in the European markets.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit as a percent of revenues during the third quarter of
1999 was 52.8% compared to 50.0% of revenues from continuing operations during
the same period of 1998. The increase was due to a larger percentage of sales of
higher margin CD-R equipment by the Company's German subsidiary during the third
quarter of 1999. This increase was partially offset by a shift in the U.S.
product mix including stronger sales of lower margin consumables such as media.

Gross profit as a percent of revenues from continuing operations during the
nine-month period ended September 30, 1999 was 50.5% compared to 51.7% during
the same period of 1998. This decrease is a result of product mix changes.

OPERATING EXPENSE. Operating expense during the third quarter of 1999 was $2.4
million, or 24.0% of revenues, compared to $2.1 million, or 29.3% of revenues
from continuing operations, during the third quarter of 1998. The decrease in
percentage was primarily a result of increased sales. Research and development
expense as a percent of revenues remained relatively consistent at 7.2% during
the third quarter of 1999 compared to 7.6% of revenues from continuing
operations during the same period of 1998.

Operating expense from continuing operations during the nine-month period ended
September 30, 1999 was $6.8 million, or 26.2% of revenues from continuing
operations compared to $6.2 million, or 30.8% of revenues from continuing
operations, during the same period of 1998. The decrease in percentage was
primarily a result of increased sales during the nine-month period ended
September 30, 1999. Research and development expense during the nine-month
period ended September 30, 1999 increased to $1.9 million compared to $1.5
million during the same period of 1998. This increase is the result of an
increase in personnel and development materials needed to manage the increase in
the number of projects the Company has undertaken.

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

OTHER INCOME/(EXPENSE). 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 $138,000
during the third quarter of 1999 and $290,000 during the nine month period ended
September 30, 1999 on cash investments from continuing operations. Net interest
income (expense) from continuing operations totaled $28,000 and $(10,000) during
the third quarter of 1998 and the nine month period ended September 30, 1998,
respectively.

INCOME FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS BEFORE INCOME TAXES. The significant increase
in revenue derived from CD-R related product sales combined with only marginal
increases in operating expense to support those revenues, caused income from
continuing operations before income taxes to increase from $1.9 million during
the third quarter of 1998 to $3.0 million during the third quarter of 1999 and
from $4.6 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998 to $6.6
million for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999.

INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes represents federal, state, and
foreign income taxes on earnings before income taxes. Income tax expense for the
third quarter of 1999 amounted to $1,069,000. During the third quarter of 1998,
the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $594,000 consisting of a
$179,000 benefit related to the operations of the discontinued Services
Division, a $750,000 benefit related to the elimination of the Company's
valuation allowance against its deferred tax asset and a $335,000 expense from
continuing operations.

Income tax expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999 amounted
to $3,139,000 which included tax expense of $105,000 related to the operations
of the discontinued Services Division, tax expense of $609,000 related to the
gain on the disposal of the Services Division and tax expense of $2,425,000
related to the Company's continuing operations. Income tax benefit for the nine
month period ended September 30, 1998 amounted to $74,000 which included an
income tax benefit of $196,000 related to the operations of the discontinued
Services Division netted with tax expense of $122,000 related to the Company's
continuing operations.

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 $21,282,000 as of September 30, 1999 as compared to
$15,269,000 as of December 31, 1998. The allowance for doubtful accounts as a
percentage of receivables was 3% as of September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998.
Current liabilities increased approximately 13% to $5,099,000 as of September
30, 1999 from $4,502,000 as of December 31, 1998, reflecting the increase in
income taxes payable and accounts payable.

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

Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $3,746,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 from $3,140,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998. This increase is primarily the result of increased earnings
during the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999. Net cash provided by
(used in) investing activities was $42,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 1999 compared to $(224,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. At
September 30, 1999, the Company had no significant commitments to purchase
additional capital equipment. Net cash provided by financing activities of
$344,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 primarily reflected
stock option proceeds. Net cash used in financing activities of $712,000 during
the nine months ended September 30, 1998 reflects repayments of debt under the
credit agreement netted with stock option proceeds.

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 not able 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
implementation phase of its plan to prepare itself for the Year 2000. The
Company anticipates completion of this final phase by the end of November 1999.

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

Through September 30, 1999, the Company has incurred costs of approximately
$105,000 directly attributable to addressing Year 2000 issues. 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 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 2001,
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 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 assumed conversion shares outstanding, unless the result is anti-dilutive.
The following is a summary of the weighted average common shares outstanding and
assumed conversion shares:
