ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

THE COMPANY

       International Imaging Materials, Inc. (the "Company") is the largest
manufacturer of thermal transfer ribbons in North America for numerous diverse
applications.  These thermal transfer ribbons are used in bar code printers to
print single-color and full-color tags and labels for use in manufacturing and
factory automation systems, shipping and distribution systems, retail price tag
applications and medical applications.  Other thermal transfer ribbons produced
by the Company are used in full-color printers to print high quality color
graphics for business presentations, engineering and scientific drawings,
graphic arts prepress layouts, proofs and comps, signage and other full color
imaging applications.  The Company also manufactures MICR ribbons for thermal
transfer proof encoders used  to encode checks for processing through the United
States banking system, as well as ribbons used in plain-paper thermal transfer
facsimile machines.

       The Company has been manufacturing thermal transfer ribbons since 1984
under a license agreement with Fujicopian Co., Ltd. of Osaka, Japan, a
recognized leader in thermal transfer ribbon technology.  Under the license
agreement, the Company has the exclusive right (with certain exceptions) to
manufacture in North America color thermal transfer ribbons covered by
Fujicopian Co. Ltd.'s patents.  As a result of the Company's operating
experience and long-standing relationship with Fujicopian Co., Ltd., the Company
has been able to develop significant proprietary product and manufacturing know-
how relating to thermal transfer ribbons.

       Effective March 31, 1994, the Company adopted a formal plan to
discontinue the operation of its software division.  Discontinuation of this
line of business, which developed an easy-to-use color presentation software
package, resulted in an after-tax loss of $432,000 in fiscal 1994.

       Originally incorporated in New York in 1983, the Company was reorganized
as a Delaware corporation in 1985.

       The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 310
Commerce Drive, Amherst, New York 14228 and its telephone number is (716) 691-
6333.


PRODUCTS

       The Company's thermal transfer ribbons are an essential consumable in the
thermal transfer printing process.  In such a printing process, the image to be
printed is transferred from the printer to the receptor material (generally
paper, overhead transparency film or tag or label stock) through the application
of an electronically heated printhead to a thermal transfer ribbon which
releases ink onto the receptor.  A basic thermal transfer ribbon is comprised of
an ink coating on a film substrate.  Single-color thermal transfer ribbons,
typically used in bar code applications, are manufactured by coating the film
substrate with a wax or resin-based ink coating containing black or other
monochromatic pigments.  Color images were traditionally  printed with other
ribbons containing multiple sets of three separate panels, with each panel
containing one of the three primary subtractive colors:  yellow, magenta and
cyan.  As a variation of this principle, some recently developed high-speed
color printers use separate yellow, magenta, cyan and black ribbons, which the
Company also manufactures.  By overlaying various combinations of the
subtractive colors (e.g., cyan over yellow to create green) with different
intensities and dot placements, a process color image is created.  The film
substrate is also backcoated with various resin-based coatings which are
designed to prevent distortion of the ribbon during the printing process,
minimize static electricity and reduce abrasion of the thermal transfer
printhead.  The end-user applications for the Company's ribbons can be grouped
into three fundamental categories:  bar code, color and other.
<PAGE>
 
Bar Code Ribbons

       The Company's bar code thermal transfer ribbons include a wide range of
products designed to maximize bar code thermal transfer printer performance for
specific applications.  Bar code thermal transfer ribbons are produced to
printer manufacturer (OEM) and end-user specifications based on variables such
as printer speed, electronic printhead design, heat management characteristics
and printing pressure.  The Company manufactures bar code thermal transfer
ribbons which are designed to meet these specifications and to comply with
industry bar code printing standards.

       The installed base of bar code printers has grown as "on-demand" printing
of human and machine readable information has become more widely accepted for
its efficiency and cost effectiveness in the retail, industrial, shipping and
distribution, and medical sectors.  A major factor in this growth has been the
rise in the use of automatic identification and data collection systems in a
variety of manufacturing, business and industrial applications, the most
prevalent of which are on-demand printing systems.  On-demand bar code printing
systems permit users to print labels on-site that provide various types of
information.  For example, in the case of manufacturers, products may be labeled
to provide information such as the date of manufacture, special serial, lot or
purchase order numbers, accurate weights and measures, expiration dates and
other similar information.  Bar codes incorporating such information can be
printed on a label which is affixed to the product at the time of production,
even in high speed production line applications.  In such bar code labeling
systems, data is stored in a printed, computer-legible format (i.e., a bar code)
which can be read with scanning devices, allowing the collection of the data
contained in the bar code by a host computer.  Such data may be used by the
manufacturers, distributors and ultimate users of products who require bar code
images that provide a very low failure rate for unscannable tags or labels.

       The Company expects that future growth in sales of bar code thermal
transfer ribbons will result from an increase in the use of thermal transfer, as
opposed to other printing technologies, and an increase in the use of mandated
bar code standards in various industrial and retail applications.  These
standards are established by industry trade organizations for use by vendors
doing business in a particular industry.  Such standards have been adopted for
use in the automotive, apparel, defense procurement, grocery, health care,
retail and retail transportation, distribution, chemical and telecommunications
industries.  Another factor driving the increased use of bar coding is retail
chain stores use of "compliance" shipping labels which are required for
acceptance of deliveries.  National retail chains such as K-Mart, Sears, J.C.
Penney and Walmart have developed bar code label formats which must be used by
vendors.  Failure by vendors to do so may result in penalties or charge-backs.
The Company expects this trend to continue and to spread to other industries.

       Although a number of different non-impact printing technologies may be
used for bar code printing, the Company believes that thermal transfer printing
is ideal for many bar code printing applications, particularly in harsh
environments.  Numerous retail, industrial, medical, food product, financial and
other applications require dark, well-defined lines which are important for
readily scannable bar codes as well as durable, high quality scratch and smudge
resistant printed images.  Thermal transfer printing meets these requirements
and offers the ability to print on a variety of materials with very good
reliability.


Color Ribbons

       The Company is the sole manufacturer of process color thermal transfer
ribbons in North America using separate panels of yellow, magenta, cyan and
black from the same ribbon.  Although color thermal transfer printers imported
into North America by OEMs based outside of North America initially use color
thermal transfer ribbons produced by Fujicopian Co., Ltd., the Company's
experience has been that most such OEMs eventually purchase compatible color
thermal transfer ribbons from the Company to avoid the foreign exchange risk,
longer lead times, additional shipping and distribution expenses and tariffs
associated with imports of thermal transfer ribbons into the United States.

       The major applications for color printers are business graphics and
presentations, scientific and engineering drawings, medical imaging, graphic
arts design, electronic publishing, and signage.  Graphs and charts developed
using currently available software can be either printed onto paper for
inclusion in reports,
<PAGE>
 
presentations and other documents, or printed onto transparencies for use with
overhead projectors. Substantial amounts of statistical, financial and other
information can be summarized in easily readable and understandable color charts
and graphs  for  business presentations.  Engineering and scientific
applications enable users to create more easily understandable color renderings
of complex designs, drawings and images.  In the graphic arts and electronic
publishing industries, color printers are used to produce color advertising
proofs, test designs for packaging, color layouts and computer-generated
artistic renderings.  The ultra-violet light resistance and durability of
recently developed thermal transfer inks, as well as the ability to print on a
wide variety of vinyl substrates, has created new applications for thermal
transfer printing in both indoor and outdoor signage.  The use of separate
process color ribbons, and other recent advancements in thermal transfer
printers, have increased color printing speeds by a factor of ten, compared to
printers using a single ribbon composed of separate  panels of yellow, magenta
and cyan.  This development is expected to open new avenues for full-color
thermal transfer printing.

       Color thermal transfer ribbons are produced to printer OEM specifications
based on variables such as printer speed, electronic printhead design, heat
management characteristics and printing pressure.  Film substrate
characteristics and backcoat formulations may be adjusted to maximize the
suitability of the ribbon for a particular application.  Because of the highly
specialized characteristics of color thermal transfer ribbons, such ribbons are
not interchangeable among different printers.  Thus, the Company manufactures
one or more different ribbons for each color printer model manufactured by each
OEM customer.  The Company sells color thermal transfer ribbons only to the
printer manufacturer thereby giving each OEM a proprietary ribbon to sell in the
aftermarket.


Other Products

       In addition to bar code and color thermal transfer ribbons, the Company
manufactures other types of thermal transfer ribbons, primarily MICR and plain-
paper facsimile ribbons.  MICR ribbons are used to encode checks for processing
through the United States banking system. Under the license agreement with
Fujicopian Co., Ltd., the Company has the right to manufacture MICR ribbons
protected by Fujicopian's patents and to use certain proprietary technology to
manufacture such ribbons.  Also included in other products are ribbons which are
used in plain-paper thermal transfer facsimile machines due to the reliability,
high quality and permanence of thermal transfer printing.


SALES, MARKETING AND SUPPORT

       The Company sells its thermal transfer ribbons principally to printer
OEMs which in turn sell ribbons under their own brand names to end users, either
directly or through distributors and value-added resellers.  The Company
markets, sells and provides support for its thermal transfer ribbons in North
America through its own sales and marketing staff principally based at its
Amherst, New York headquarters.  Since thermal transfer ribbon formulations and
performance are significantly influenced by printer design, the Company's joint
product development efforts with printer OEMs have been important to the
Company's success.  By selling primarily to printer OEMs, the Company has
minimized its need for a large sales support staff.

       The Company also markets its bar code thermal transfer ribbons through a
number of alternate distribution channels in situations where the Company
believes that such marketing will not adversely affect sales of the Company's
products to printer OEM customers.  Such alternate distribution channels include
master distributors, value-added resellers and large dealers.  Value-added
resellers include bar code system integrators, bar code printer resellers,
computer supplies resellers and label converters.  Dealers include label
manufacturers, printer resellers and business forms dealers.  As the market for
bar code thermal transfer ribbons increasingly matures, end-users are expected
to purchase their ribbon requirements at lower cost through these highly-
competitive alternate distribution channels.

       In September 1995, the Company acquired the thermal transfer supplies
business from one of its OEM customers, QMS, Inc., and began selling ribbons and
other thermal transfer supplies under the QMS brand name directly to
distributors, dealers and end-users.  As a result of this acquisition, the
Company expanded its product offerings to include non-ribbon thermal transfer
supplies and created a telemarketing capability to serve small distributors,
dealers and end-user customers.
<PAGE>
 
       The Company employs a total of 34 people in its sales and marketing
organization, including executives, managers and a customer service and support
staff.  Because the Company sells its thermal transfer ribbons primarily to
large OEM customers, the Company achieves what it considers to be high sales
productivity per sales executive.


CUSTOMERS

       The Company's basic channel of distribution for its thermal transfer
ribbons is the printer manufacturer or OEM who in turn sell to thousands of
other distributors and end users of the ribbons.  In addition, the Company sells
its bar code thermal transfer ribbons to master distributors, value added
resellers and large dealers.  The Company also began to sell QMS thermal
transfer supplies to dealers, distributors and end-users following the
acquisition of this business during fiscal 1996.


BACKLOG

       The Company's backlog at March 31, 1996 was $4.2 million, unchanged from
March 31, 1995.


MANUFACTURING

       The Company manufactures inks from pigments, waxes, resins and solvents,
and then coats them onto large rolls of ultra-thin polyester film substrate.
These coated "jumbo rolls" are then converted into finished ribbons by slitting
and winding them onto cardboard or plastic cores before packaging and boxing.
The manufacturing process operates 24 hours each day, seven days per week
throughout the year, using four shifts of manufacturing employees.  A typical
manufacturing employee works 12 hours each day for four days, followed by four
days off, then three days on and finally three days off.  All manufacturing is
performed at the Company's facilities located in Amherst, New York.   The
manufacturing function  is supported by a plant and industrial engineering
department which has implemented a detailed preventative maintenance program for
the Company's manufacturing equipment.  The Company's quality assurance
department oversees required testing and audits both manufacturing processes and
products.  The production planning and control department utilizes a
manufacturing resource planning system to plan and control material usage and
shop schedules to satisfy customer orders.


RAW MATERIALS

       The principal raw materials required by the Company are polyester film,
pigments and coating solvents.  Key supplies are generally purchased pursuant to
contracts covering up to one year.  Multiple sources exist for all raw
materials, other than one of the premixed pigments used by the Company in the
manufacture of certain color thermal transfer ribbons.  The Company expects to
begin in-house manufacturing of this premixed pigment and is actually developing
alternative domestic sources.


RESEARCH AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

       The thermal transfer ribbon industry involves sophisticated technological
and manufacturing processes.  Historically, the Company's advanced technology
had largely been provided by Fujicopian which invented, and is a leader in,
thermal transfer printing technology.  More recently, the Company significantly
strengthened its own internal research and development staff and now employs 24
people dedicated to research and development.

       The Company works closely with Fujicopian and Armor, Fujicopian's
European licensee, in the research and development of new products and
manufacturing processes.  The Company, Fujicopian and Armor conduct research and
development strategy meetings to coordinate their efforts four times each year.
During these meetings, each company presents its most recent research and
development activities before selecting those
<PAGE>
 
programs to further develop independently.  In this manner, each company is able
to benefit from three separate research and development programs.  The Company
believes that this combined research and development provides the Company,
Fujicopian and Armor with greater thermal transfer ribbon technology and
research and development resources than many of their competitors.

       At times, the Company has retained selected universities, including the
Rochester Institute of Technology, to supplement its internal research and
development efforts and to provide technical expertise with respect to a variety
of research and development efforts.  The Rochester Institute of Technology is
known for its work in the fields of imaging science and graphic arts.

       The Company's research and development expenses were $1.5 million, $2.2
million and $3.1 million during fiscal years 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively.
In view of the ongoing technological and proprietary developments which
Fujicopian shares with the Company pursuant to the license agreement, the
Company views its royalty payments under the license agreement (which amounted
to $2.7 million during fiscal 1996) as an expense that, in part, yields an
additional form of research and development benefit.


LICENSE AND PATENTS

       The Company's license agreement with Fujicopian extends until 2008.
Under the license agreement, Fujicopian has granted to the Company an exclusive
license (with certain exceptions) to manufacture specified products in North
America, including thermal transfer ribbons and improvements to such products
developed by Fujicopian and the Company, and a non-exclusive right to sell and
distribute such products in all countries other than those in Europe and Asia,
using the technology and processes covered by the patents obtained and patent
applications made and to be made by Fujicopian relating to such products and
their manufacture.  In exchange for such rights, the Company has agreed to pay
annual royalties on sales of all thermal transfer ribbons.

       The Company believes that the two most important patents which it has the
right to use under the license agreement are U.S. Patent No. 4,503,095 and U.S.
Patent No. 4,572,684, both of which expire in 2003.  Such patents relate to
certain color thermal transfer ribbons and their use.  The Company believes that
these patents have discouraged competitors from manufacturing certain color
thermal transfer ribbons in the United States.


COMPETITION

       Competition in the color thermal transfer ribbon market has been limited
as a result of Fujicopian's patents and the Company's right to use these patents
under the license agreement.   As a result of the exclusivity provided by the
license agreement, the Company believes that its principal competition for
increased sales of color thermal transfer ribbons to printer OEMs comes from
competing technologies, such as ink jet and laser.

       In contrast, the bar code thermal transfer ribbon market is highly
competitive as a number of manufacturers compete for market share.  Unlike the
color thermal transfer ribbon market, the Company does not enjoy the benefit of
any patent protection with respect to the proprietary technology it utilizes
(other than in the manufacture of MICR ribbons).  General Ribbon of Japan, Ricoh
Electronics, Sony Chemical and Dai Nippon Printing are all Japan-based companies
that compete in North America.  Competition from Japanese competitors has, to
some extent, been limited by the foreign exchange risk, longer lead times,
additional transportation and distribution expenses and tariffs associated with
imports into the United States.  However, certain of the Company's Japan-based
competitors have either announced their intentions or have begun to manufacture
all or part of their thermal transfer products in the United States to reduce
their manufacturing costs.  North American-based companies which compete in the
bar code thermal transfer ribbon market include Chemicraft, Coding Products and
AT&T.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Fiscal 1996 was a year of transition for the Company.  The financial performance
for the year reflected the resolution of events that began in fiscal 1995, while
significant investments were made in the future of the Company.

During the first half of fiscal 1995, the Company experienced a surge of
incoming orders in all parts of its business.  The Company's manufacturing
capacity could not absorb this orders increase and lead times lengthened,
causing customers throughout the distribution channels to further increase their
orders and inventory levels to avoid stock-out situations.  A total of $44.5
million in orders were received in this six-month period, a 30% increase over
the $34.3 million of orders placed in the second half of fiscal 1994.

In response, the Company increased its manufacturing capacity largely through
productivity improvements, resulting in sequential quarterly revenue records and
significant lead time reductions throughout fiscal 1995.  These lead time
reductions allowed customers to reduce their excess inventory levels, and
consequently, they sharply cut back their orders to the Company.  This resulted
in a significant decrease in quarterly revenues for the Company, from $22.3
million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995 to $19.0 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 1996.  These order reductions continued through the first half
of fiscal 1996, until orders again reflected end user market demand beginning in
the third quarter of fiscal 1996.

Fujicopian's thermal transfer licensee for Europe, Armor, also experienced an
influx of orders during fiscal 1995 which exceeded their manufacturing capacity.
The Company used its coating capacity not consumed by customers' requirements to
supply Armor with thermal transfer jumbo rolls.  This business did not recur in
fiscal 1996 once Armor's manufacturing capacity was increased sufficiently.

This sequence of events resulted in fiscal 1996 revenues of $88.4 million, an
increase of only 3.5% over fiscal 1995 revenues of $85.5 million.  Revenues in
fiscal 1995, however, increased 38.8% from $61.6 million in fiscal 1994.
Included in fiscal 1995 and fiscal 1994, respectively, were $6.0 million and
$1.6 million of revenue, primarily jumbo rolls supplied to Armor, which did not
recur in fiscal 1996.  Therefore, recurring revenues grew 11.3% from fiscal 1995
to fiscal 1996, and 32.5% from fiscal 1994 to fiscal 1995, a compound annual
growth rate of 21.5%, more consistent with actual market growth during this
three-year period.

[Bar chart depicting recurring revenues in thousands] 1992 31,492; 1993 48,432;
1994 59,976; 1995 79,318; 1996 88,448.

The Company sells its ribbons primarily to printer original equipment
manufacturers (OEM's), which in turn sell the ribbons under their own brand
names to end users, either directly or through distributors and value-added
resellers.  Recurring revenues to OEM customers in fiscal 1996 were $65.9
million, comprised 74.6% of total revenues, and increased 10.1% from $59.9
million in fiscal 1995.  This increase primarily reflects the transfer of ribbon
production for a significant color ribbon program from Fujicopian, new product
lines introduced to existing tag and label customers, the addition of a
significant new tag and label customer, and the overall growth of applications
for tag and label printing.

The Company also sells its ribbons directly to distributors and dealers where
such sales do not adversely affect the Company's OEM customers. Domestic
distributor revenues in fiscal 1996 were $21.3 million, comprised 24.1% of total
revenues, and increased 13.6% from $18.8 million in fiscal 1995.  In September
1995, the Company acquired the thermal transfer supplies business from one of
its OEM customers, QMS Inc., and began selling ribbons and other thermal
transfer supplies under the QMS brand name directly to distributors, dealers and
end users.  The higher selling prices for ribbons and other items included in
the QMS supplies business, the addition of several new significant tag and label
customers, new product lines introduced to existing tag and label customers,
overall tag and label aftermarket growth, and end-user migration towards this
distributor channel from the OEM channel as the market for tag and label ribbons
matures, all contributed to this growth.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

            FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED



The rapid expansion of the market for tag and label printing in South America,
and the Company's new marketing programs targeting these opportunities, were
principally responsible for the addition of several new customers in the
international distributor channel.  Revenues for this channel were $1.2 million
in fiscal 1996, comprised 1.3% of total revenues, and increased 41.2% from
$840,000 in fiscal 1995.

Recurring revenues for the OEM channel increased 27.4% from fiscal 1994 to
fiscal 1995, principally due to the transfer of ribbon production for two color
printer programs to the Company from Fujicopian late in fiscal 1994, new tag and
label product lines introduced to existing customers, the addition of a
significant new tag and label customer, and the overall growth of the installed
base of thermal transfer printers.  Domestic distributor revenues increased
48.4% from fiscal 1994 to fiscal 1995, reflecting the addition of several new
significant customers, new high performance product lines introduced late in
fiscal 1994, and overall tag and label ribbon aftermarket growth.

The Company's ribbon unit selling prices in total were comparable from fiscal
1994 through fiscal 1996.  Slight increases in selling prices to color ribbon
OEM customers, significantly higher selling prices to dealers, distributors and
end-users for QMS's thermal transfer supplies, and a shift in mix towards the
higher selling prices in the tag and label distributor channels, offset selling
price decreases to tag and label ribbon OEM and distributor customers.

Gross margins were 29.6% of revenues in fiscal 1996 as compared to 29.8% in
fiscal 1995.  The higher base of fixed overhead costs, which was not absorbed by
the declining revenues from customers reducing their inventory levels, was
partially offset by the higher margins on the QMS thermal transfer supplies
business and no management bonuses in fiscal 1996.  The gross margin improvement
in fiscal 1995 from 27.9% of revenues in fiscal 1994 primarily reflects
production efficiencies in direct labor and improved leverage of fixed overhead
costs as the Company expanded its manufacturing capacity to fulfill the surge of
incoming orders.

Total operating expenses were $10.9 million in fiscal 1996, an increase of 14.1%
from $9.6 million in fiscal 1995.  Research and development expenses increased
$862,000 due to increased staffing and sampling of new products as investments
in future revenue growth.  Selling expenses increased $515,000 due to the
creation of a telemarketing capability for QMS thermal transfer supplies, and
the hiring of additional personnel to drive the Company's sales growth,
partially offset by no management bonuses in fiscal 1996.

Total operating expenses in fiscal 1995 increased by 36.6% from $7.0 million in
fiscal 1994.  Research and development expenses increased $672,000 due to the
hiring of additional personnel and distribution of samples to customers.
Selling expenses increased $723,000, primarily due to increased staffing and
promotional expenses.  Administrative expenses increased $1.2 million,
principally due to increased staffing and the first full year of expenses as a
publicly-held Company in fiscal 1995.

[Bar chart depicting the debt to equity ratio] 1992 1.06; 1993 1.13; 1994 0.12;
1995 0.08; 1996 .26.

Interest expense was $136,000 in fiscal 1996, a decrease of 52.1% from $284,000
in fiscal 1995.  Interest incurred on the Company's lines of credit in fiscal
1996 to fund the construction of and equipment for the 100,000 square foot
manufacturing facility, the purchase of the QMS thermal transfer supplies
business, and the repurchase of 315,400 shares of the Company's common stock was
offset by $612,000 of interest capitalized as part of the cost of the new
facility.  Interest income was $101,000 in fiscal 1996, a decrease of 76.3% from
$427,000 in fiscal 1995, due to the use of the Company's cash and short-term
investments prior to the borrowings on the lines of credit.  Interest expense in
fiscal 1995 decreased 55.6% from $639,000 in fiscal 1994, while interest income
increased 133.3% from $183,000 in fiscal 1994.  These improvements resulted from
the repayment of a portion of the

            FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED



Company's debt with some of the proceeds from the Company's initial public
offering of common stock in fiscal 1994, as well as higher short-term investment
balances in fiscal 1995 resulting from the Company's record financial
performance.

Income taxes in fiscal 1996 were $5.3 million or 35.0% of income before income
taxes.  In fiscal 1995, income taxes were $6.1 million or 38.0% of income before
income taxes.  Income taxes in fiscal 1994 were $3.6 million or 37.0% of income
from continuing operations before income taxes.  Changes in the New York State
alternative minimum tax calculation benefiting the Company and the benefit from
the Company's foreign sales subsidiary established at the beginning of fiscal
1996 contributed to this rate reduction in fiscal 1996.  The actual tax payments
in all three years were significantly lower than the expense reflected in the
Company's statements of income since a substantial portion of the tax provisions
were deferred, primarily reflecting the temporary benefits of accelerated
depreciation of plant and equipment on the Company's tax returns.  Tax payments
were also reduced by tax deductions from the exercise of non-qualified stock
options and compensatory warrants.  For financial reporting purposes, these tax
benefits are recognized as increases in additional paid-in capital, rather than
as reductions of income tax expense.

Effective March 31, 1994, the Company adopted a plan to dispose of its software
division which was completed during fiscal 1995.  The division was established
during fiscal 1993 to develop a low-cost, user-friendly software program to
increase the consumption of the Company's color ribbons.  The decision to
discontinue this division resulted from the introduction of several similar
programs by other software companies.

The Company's financial performance over the last three fiscal years is best
understood in terms of the entire three-year period, rather than concentrating
on the unique events temporarily influencing each individual year's results.
Net income grew 74.7% on a 43.6% revenue increase from fiscal 1994 through
fiscal 1996.  Net income as a percentage of sales increased from 9.2% of
revenues in fiscal 1994 to 11.2% of revenues in fiscal 1996.  Return on invested
capital improved from 10.0% in fiscal 1994 to 11.1% in fiscal 1996.  Return on
total assets increased from 8.6% in fiscal 1994 to 9.4% in fiscal 1996.

[Bar chart depicting net capital expenditures in thousands] 1992 $8,912; 1993
$8,819; 1994 $13,435; 1995 $14,235; 1996 $17,477.

At the same time as these operating results were improving, the Company invested
heavily in its future.  These investments include $45.1 million of capital
expenditures, including 150,000 square feet of facilities and the equipment
needed to both increase manufacturing capacity and improve production
efficiency, as well as a dedicated research and development pilot facility for
the production of new product samples for customers.  A total of $6.8 million
was spent on research and development as the Company became less dependent on
Fujicopian and established its own capability to develop new products tailored
to the specific requirements of the North American market.  The Company also
paid $5.6 million for the QMS thermal transfer supplies business and created a
telemarketing capability to serve small distributors, dealers and end-user
customers both now and in the future.  These investments were funded by $27.2
million from the Company's initial public offering of common stock in fiscal

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

            FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED



Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The Company's financial condition at March 31, 1996 remained strong, with long-
term debt comprising only 2.8% of total capitalization.  Cash from operating
activities in fiscal 1996 of $9.9 million, short-term borrowings on the
Company's lines of credit of $16.3 million and $7.0 million of cash and short-
term investments at March 31, 1995 funded $17.5 million of capital expenditures,
the purchase of the QMS thermal transfer supplies business for

$5.6 million and the repurchase of 315,400 shares of the Company's common stock
for another $5.6 million.  The Company expects to spend approximately $15
million on capital expenditures in fiscal 1997, primarily to complete the
construction of and purchase equipment for the new manufacturing facility.  The
Company anticipates funding these capital expenditures and its working capital
requirements, in addition to repaying approximately $10 million of the $16.3
million balance on its $30.0 million lines of credit with two banks at March 31,
1996, with cash generated by operating activities in fiscal 1997.  The Company
believes that internally generated cash will be more than sufficient to finish
repaying the lines of credit and fund working capital, capital expenditures and
debt service requirements in fiscal 1998.

Trade receivables increased $4.3 million in fiscal 1996, primarily due to
disproportionately higher sales volumes in February and March 1996.  The number
of days of sales in trade receivables at March 31, 1996 was 48, as compared to
47 days at March 31, 1995, consistent with the Company's typical range of 45 to
50 days.  Inventories increased $2.3 million during fiscal 1996, as the Company
used available manufacturing capacity to increase its finished goods inventory
in anticipation of future revenue increases, as well as create the higher
inventory levels required to service the growing proportion of dealer,
distributor and end-user sales.  The $4.7 million increase in other assets from
March 31, 1995 principally consists of the cost of the assets acquired in
connection with the purchase of the QMS thermal transfer supplies business,
which are being amortized over the next five years.  The Company also
repurchased 315,400 shares of its common stock during the fourth quarter of
fiscal 1996, at an average purchase price of $17.68 per share.  These shares
will be used to fund future stock option and warrant exercises, for which 5,000
shares were issued as of March 31, 1996.

Cash from operating activities in fiscal 1995 of $18.9 million funded $14.2
million of capital expenditures, $1.7 million of scheduled debt repayments, and
a $2.0 million increase in cash and short-term investments.  Raw material
inventories increased $3.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995 due to
purchases to support future revenue growth and to delay the impact of
anticipated price increases. Trade accounts payable increased $3.5 million in
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995 due primarily to these raw material purchases.

During fiscal 1995 and 1996, the Company loaned $3.9 million and $3.4 million,
respectively, to certain officers and a director in conjunction with the
exercise of non-qualified stock options and warrants.  These exercises, in
addition to the lapse of restrictions in fiscal 1996 on restricted stock grants,
generated tax deductions of $9.8 million and $6.3 million for the Company in
fiscal 1995 and 1996, respectively.  During fiscal 1996, $4.2 million of these
loans were repaid through the surrender of shares of common stock to the
Company.  The portions of these loans which funded the officers' and director's
personal income tax withholdings are included in other assets since it is the
intention of the Company to allow repayment beyond March 31, 1997.  The portions
of these loans that funded the exercise price of the options and warrants are
included as a reduction of stockholders' equity.  These demand notes are secured
by the stock and personal assets of the officers and director.

[Bar chart depicting stockholder's equity in thousands] 1992 $18,887; 1993
$21,838; 1994 $59,110; 1995 $73,689; 1996 $78,120.


Inflation
- ---------

Inflationary factors have not had a significant effect on the Company's overall
revenues or profitability during the past three years.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                   YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 1994, 1995 AND 1996


(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  International Imaging Materials, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company")
manufactures and sells thermal transfer ribbons used in non-impact thermal
transfer printers.  The Company's customers are primarily printer manufacturers
and distributors in North America.

  A summary of significant accounting policies follows:

  (a)  Principles of Consolidation

  The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of
International Imaging Materials, Inc. and its two wholly-owned subsidiaries.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

  (b)  Cash Equivalents

  Cash equivalents consist of money market funds, repurchase agreements and
commercial paper with original maturities of ninety days or less.

  (c)  Inventories

  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.

  (d)  Depreciation and Amortization

  Depreciation of plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  Intangibles included in
other assets are amortized using an accelerated method over the period of
expected benefit.

  (e)  Income Taxes

   Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax
consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The
Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected
future taxable income and restriction on the use of certain State investment tax
credits in assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets.

   (f) Earnings Per Share

   Weighted average common shares outstanding include common stock equivalents
which consist of the aggregate dilutive effect of unexercised stock options,
warrants and restricted stock awards.

   (g) Foreign Exchange

   The Company periodically enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to
minimize exposure and reduce risk from exchange rate fluctuations in the regular
course of business.  Since these contracts hedge exposures on firm foreign
currency commitments, gains and losses are deferred and recognized as
adjustments to the costs of the corresponding assets.  All balance sheet amounts
denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the current exchange rate as
of the balance sheet date.  Transaction gains and losses are included in
earnings.

   (h) Use of Estimates

   Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions
relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  Actual results could
differ from those estimates.


(2)  INDEBTEDNESS

   The Company maintains a $20,000,000 line of credit with a bank which bears
interest at either the LIBOR rate plus .20%, the bank's cost of funds rate plus
 .50%, or the prime rate, as selected by the Company.  In addition, the Company
maintains a $10,000,000 line of credit with another bank which bears interest at
either the LIBOR rate plus .20%, the Federal Funds rate plus .50%, or a fixed
rate to be determined by the bank, as selected by the Company.  Advances under
both lines of credit are at the sole discretion of the banks and can be made for
various periods of time not extending beyond September 30, 1997 under the
$20,000,000 line of credit, nor beyond March 31, 1997 under the $10,000,000 line
of credit.  There were no borrowings outstanding under either line of credit at
March 31, 1995.  There was $9,500,000 outstanding under the $20,000,000 facility
at 5.64% and $6,792,000 outstanding on the $10,000,000 facility at 5.55% at
March 31, 1996.  Borrowings under both facilities are payable on demand.

</TABLE>

   The term loans, payable in monthly installments ranging from $11,000 to
$78,000, bear interest at variable rates based on the prime rate, are secured by
certain plant and equipment, require the maintenance of certain financial
ratios, limit the amount of capital expenditures and prohibit the payment of
cash dividends without the lenders' consent.

the fair value of such instruments based upon management's best estimate of
interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar debt
obligations at March 31, 1996.

   During fiscal 1995 and 1996, the Company loaned $3,876,000 and $3,364,000,
respectively to certain officers and a director, of which $1,880,000 and
$548,000 funded the exercise price of stock options and warrants and $1,996,000
and $2,816,000 funded the officers and director's personal income tax
liabilities related to the exercise.  In fiscal 1996, $4,210,000 of these loans
were repaid through the surrender of shares of the Company's common stock.  It
is the intention of the Company to allow repayment of these demand notes, which
are collateralized by the assets of the respective officers, beyond March 31,

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED


   Income tax expense differs from the expected amount (computed by applying the
34% statutory rate to income before income taxes from both continuing and
discontinued operations) due principally to the effects of the Company's foreign
sales corporation, state income taxes and changes in the valuation allowance for
deferred tax assets.

   The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to the deferred tax
assets and liability at March 31, 1995 and 1996 were as follows:

(11)  ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

   The Company is required to adopt Statements of Financial Accounting Standards
Nos. 121 (Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of) and 123 (Accounting for Stock Based Compensation) in
fiscal 1997.  The Company does not believe that the adoption of either standard
will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.  With
respect to FAS 123, the Company does not expect to adopt the fair value
accounting provisions of the standard in favor of the disclosure alternative.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



The Board of Directors and Stockholders
International Imaging Materials, Inc.:


   We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of International
Imaging Materials, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 1995 and 1996, and the
related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows
for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 1996.  These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.

   We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

   In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
International Imaging Materials, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 1995 and
1996, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
years in the three-year period ended March 31, 1996, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
