ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

THE COMPANY

       International Imaging Materials, Inc. (the "Company") is the largest
manufacturer in North America of thermal transfer ribbons 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
and variable data 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.

       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.


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.
<PAGE>
 
       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, a decrease in the cost of installing bar
code systems, making them more affordable for end-users, 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 North American manufacturer of process color
thermal transfer ribbons comprised of separate panels of yellow, magenta, cyan
and black on the same ribbon.  Although color thermal transfer desktop 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 desktop 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, 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.
<PAGE>
 
       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 desktop printers.  Thus, the Company
manufactures one or more different ribbons for each color printer model
manufactured by each OEM customer. The Company typically sells color thermal
transfer ribbons only to the printer manufacturer thereby giving each OEM a
proprietary ribbon to sell in the aftermarket.

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.  In addition, the Company has developed a new family
of Duracoat(TM) ribbons to address new market opportunities.  Duracoat(TM) 100
general purpose color ribbons are ideal for use in printing novelty items, such
as T-shirt transfers.  Duracoat(TM) 200 ribbons have higher durability and print
quality, and are used primarily for printing color tags and labels, and for
printing variable data on flexible packages, such as date or lot codes on snack
foods.  Duracoat(TM) 300 ribbons combine ultra-violet resistance and durability
with the ability to print on a variety of vinyl substrates, making this ribbon
ideal for use in printing outdoor signage.  The Company sells its Duracoat(TM)
color ribbons through both the aftermarket channel and directly to OEMs.


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 49 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, 1997 was $4.3 million, up $114,000
from $4.2 million on March 31, 1996.


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.


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 30
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 programs to 
<PAGE>
 
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 to supplement
its internal research and development efforts and to provide technical expertise
with respect to a variety of research and development efforts.

       The Company's research and development expenses were $2.2 million, $3.1
million and $3.6 million during fiscal years 1995, 1996 and 1997, 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 1997) 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 essentially 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 desktop 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 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).  Sony Chemical, Dai Nippon
Printing and Ricoh Electronics 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 and NCR Corporation.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

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

The Company's financial emphasis in fiscal 1997 was increasing value for its 
stockholders.  The Company generated free cash of $11.8 million or $1.37 per 
share, and in conjunction with borrowings on its lines of credit, repurchased 
878,400 shares of its common stock between the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996 and
the first two months of fiscal 1998.  In addition, 375,788 shares of common 
stock were surrendered between the third quarter of fiscal 1996 and the fourth 
quarter of fiscal 1997 by officers and a director in connection with the 
exercise of stock options and warrants.  This 1,254,188 share or 14.0% decrease 
in the Company's outstanding common stock resulted in a $.07 contribution to 
earnings per share in fiscal 1997.

Revenues in fiscal 1997 were $106.9 million, an increase of 20.9% from $88.4 
million in fiscal 1996.  Revenues in fiscal 1995 were $85.5 million and included
$6.0 million of revenue, primarily jumbo rolls to Armor, Fujicopian's thermal 
transfer licensee for Europe, which did not recur in fiscal 1996.  Therefore, 
recurring revenues grew 11.3% from fiscal 1995 to fiscal 1996.

The Company sells its ribbons primarily to printer original equipment
manufacturers, which in turn sell the ribbons under their own brand names to 
end-users, either directly or through distributors and value-added resellers.
Revenues from OEM customers in fiscal 1997 were $77.6 million, comprised 72.6%
of total revenues, and increased 15.7% from $67.1 million in fiscal 1996. This
increase primarily reflects the transfer of ribbon production for a significant
color ribbon program from Fujicopian during fiscal 1996, new products introduced
to existing tag and label and fax customers in North America, and increased
sales of existing and new products outside of North America.

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 1997 were $26.4 million, comprised 24.7% of total
revenues and increased 30.4% from $20.2 million in fiscal 1996. 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
the continuing end-user migration towards this distributor channel from the OEM 
channel as the market for tag and label ribbons matures were primarily 
responsible for this growth.

The continued expansion of the market for tag and label printing in Central and 
South America, and the Company's marketing programs targeting these 
opportunities, were principally responsible for significant revenue growth for 
existing customers and the addition of a significant new customer in the 
international distributor channel.  Revenues for this channel were $3.0 million 
in fiscal 1997, comprised 2.8% of total revenues, and increased 149.3% from $1.2
million in fiscal 1996.

Recurring revenues for the OEM channel increased 10.1% from fiscal 1995 to 
fiscal 1996, principally due to the transfer of ribbon production for the 
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.  Domestic distributor revenues increased 13.6% from fiscal 1995 to 
fiscal 1996.  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, all contributed
to this growth.

The Company's ribbon unit selling prices in total declined slightly in fiscal 
1997 after remaining comparable from fiscal 1995 to fiscal 1996. Selling price 
decreases to tag and label ribbon OEM and distributor customers were partially 
offset by slight increases in selling prices to color ribbon OEM customers and 
significantly higher selling prices to dealers, distributors and end-users for 
QMS thermal transfer supplies.

Gross margins were 29.1% of revenues in fiscal 1997 as compared to 29.6% in
fiscal 1995. This decline primarily resulted from the incremental operating
expenses from the new manufacturing facility opened during fiscal 1997, a change
in sales mix and lower overall selling prices, partially offset by the increased
leverage of fixed overhead costs and production efficiencies from higher sales
volumes, lower raw material purchase prices, and higher margins on the QMS
thermal transfer supplies business. The gross margin decline in fiscal 1996 from
29.8% of revenues in fiscal 1995 primarily reflects the fixed overhead costs not
absorbed by temporarily declining revenues from customers reducing their
inventory levels, partially offset by higher margins on the QMS thermal transfer
business and no management bonuses in fiscal 1996.

Total operating expenses were $13.2 million in fiscal 1997, an increase of 21.0%
from $10.9 million in fiscal 1996.  Research and development expenses increased 
$515,000 due to personnel additions to create new products for future revenue 
growth, partially offset by lower costs of samples produced in the new pilot 
manufacturing facility.  Selling expenses increased $1.1 million due to the 
hiring of additional personnel for the Company's telemarketing and direct sales 
forces and to identify opportunities for future products and increased 
advertising to maximize revenue from new products.  General and administrative 
expenses increased $638,000, primarily due to increased staffing in human 
resources, finance and management information systems to support the Company's 
growth.

Total operating expenses in fiscal 1996 increased by 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.

Net interest expense was $562,000 in fiscal 1997, an increase of $527,000 from 
$35,000 in fiscal 1996.  Total interest cost incurred in fiscal 1997 was 
$900,000, of which $238,000 was capitalized as part of the cost of construction 
of and equipment for the 100,000 square-foot manufacturing facility completed 
during the first quarter, and $617,000 was charged to income.  Total interest 
cost incurred in fiscal 1996 was $748,000, including $612,000 capitalized in 
conjunction with the new facility and $136,000 charged to income.  Net interest 
income in fiscal 1995 was $143,000 before the Company's cash and short-term 
investments were used together with borrowings on lines of credit in fiscal 1996
to fund the new facility, purchase the QMS thermal transfer supplies business, 
and repurchase 315,400 shares of the Company's common stock.

Income taxes in fiscal 1997 were $6.1 million or 35.0% of income before income 
taxes.  In fiscal 1996, income taxes were $5.3 million or 35.0% of income before
income taxes.  Income taxes in fiscal 1995 were $6.1 million or 38.0% of income 
before income taxes. Benefits from changes in the New York State alternative
minimum tax calculation and the Company's foreign sales subsidiary established
at the beginning of fiscal 1996 contributed to the rate reduction. 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 exercises 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.

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

The Company's financial condition remains strong, with long-term debt comprising
only 1.2% of total capitalization at March 31, 1997. Cash provided by operating
activities in fiscal 1997 of $25.6 million funded $13.8 million of capital
expenditures, leaving free cash flow of $11.8 million or $1.37 per share, which
was used to repay $9.5 million on the Company's lines of credit and long-term
debt, and repurchase 142,200 shares of the Company's common stock for $2.5
million. The Company expects to spend approximately $7 million on capital
expenditures in fiscal 1998, primarily to purchase equipment to increase
manufacturing capacity and yield production efficiencies. The Company believes
that its internally generated cash, supplemented as needed by its lines of
credit, will be sufficient to fund its working capital, capital expenditure and
debt service requirements over the next two years.

Trade receivables increased $1.6 million in fiscal 1997, with the number of days
of sales in trade receivables increasing from 48 days at March 31, 1996 to 50
days at March 31, 1997, but still within the Company's typical range of 45 to 50
days. Inventories decreased $2.0 million during fiscal 1997, as the Company
worked with its key suppliers to reduce its raw material inventories. The $2.4
million decrease in other assets principally consists of the repayment of loans
which funded personal income tax withholdings due upon the exercise of stock
options by officers. The Company also repurchased 142,200 shares of its common
stock during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997, at an average purchase price of
$17.47 per share. The Company repurchased an additional 420,800 shares of
its common stock during the first two months of fiscal 1998 at an average
purchase price of $17.33 per share. The Company terminated its common stock 
repurchase plan in July 1997.

Cash provided by 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.  Trade receivables increased $4.3 million in 
fiscal 1996, primarily due to disproportionately higher sales volume in February
and March 1996.  Inventories increased $2.3 million during fiscal 1996, as the 
Company used available manufacturing capacity to increase its finished goods 
inventories 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 
during fiscal 1996 principally consists of the purchase price for the QMS 
thermal transfer supplies business, of which $1.5 million was subsequently 
amortized in fiscal 1997.

During fiscal 1996 and 1997, the Company loaned $3.4 million and $1.6 million to
certain officers in conjunction with the exercise of non-qualified stock 
options.  These exercises, in addition to the lapse of restrictions on 
restricted stock, generated tax deductions of $6.3 million and $5.4 million for 
the Company in fiscal 1996 and 1997, respectively.  During fiscal 1996 and 1997,
$4.2 million and $3.9 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' personal income tax withholdings are included in other 
assets since it is the intention of the Company to allow repayment beyond March 
31, 1998.  The portions of these loans that funded the exercise price of the 
options are included as a reduction of stockholder's equity.  These demand notes
are secured by the stock and personal assets of the officers.

Inflation
- ---------

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

             INTERNATIONAL IMAGING MATERIALS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                   YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995, 1996 AND 1997


(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) Inventories

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

   (c) 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 over the period of expected benefit.

   (d) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of

   The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, on
April 1, 1996.  This Statement requires that long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a
comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected
to be generated by the asset.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the
impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying
amount of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets.  Assets to be disposed
of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to
sell.  Adoption of this Statement did not have any impact on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.

   (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.

             INTERNATIONAL IMAGING MATERIALS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED


   (g) Stock-Based Compensation

   Stock options and other stock-based compensation awards are accounted for
using the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related
interpretations.

   (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 lines of credit with two banks totaling $40,000,000
which are due on demand and bear 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.  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 one of the lines of credit.  There was $16,292,000 and $8,484,000
outstanding under the facilities at 5.60% and 5.81% at March 31, 1996 and 1997,
respectively.

   A summary of long-term debt follows:

                                                       ======  ======


   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 aggregate annual installments due on long-term debt for each of the next
five years are:  $1,143,000 in fiscal 1998, $846,000 in fiscal 1999, $127,000 in
fiscal 2000, $127,000 in fiscal 2001 and $11,000 in fiscal 2002.

   In connection with the construction of new manufacturing facilities, the
Company capitalized interest as a component of the cost of plant and equipment
as follows:

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED


The 2001 term loan and one of the lines of credit are with a bank that owns
warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

   The carrying amount of the Company's long-term debt instruments approximates
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, 1997.


(3)  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

   The Company has three stock plans under which non-qualified stock options and
restricted stock have been granted to employees and directors.  The plans
authorize grants of up to 3,150,000 shares.  All options were granted at the
fair market value of the Company's common stock on the grant date, vest over
five years, and expire ten years and one day after grant.  The following table
summarizes option activity under these plans:

   In addition, the Company granted directors 2,400 shares of restricted stock
at a grant-date fair value of $24.00 per share in fiscal 1996 and 2,100 shares
at a grant-date fair value of $21.69 per share in fiscal 1997.  Compensation
cost of restricted stock awards charged to earnings was $281,000 in fiscal 1996
and $274,000 in fiscal 1997.

   The Company also has an employee stock purchase plan which allows employees
to purchase up to 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock at 85% of the
fair market value of the shares at the time of purchase.  As of March 31, 1996
and 1997, 9,055 and 13,626 shares, respectively, had been issued under this
plan.

   The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in
accounting for its stock plans, and accordingly, no compensation cost has been
recognized for its stock options in the consolidated financial statements.  Had
the Company determined compensation cost for its stock options under the
provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", the
Company's net income and net income per share of common stock would have been
reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

   For purposes of this pro forma disclosure, the weighted average fair market
value of options granted in fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1997 of $9.42 and $9.06,
respectively, were calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  The
weighted average assumptions used in the model were:  volatility of 48.1%,
expected life of 6 years, no dividend yield, and risk-free interest rate of 6.0%
and 6.4% for fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1997, respectively.

   Pro forma net income reflects only options granted in fiscal 1996 and 1997.
Therefore, the full impact of calculating compensation cost for stock options
under SFAS No. 123 is not reflected in the pro forma net income amounts
presented above because compensation cost is reflected over the option's vesting
period and compensation cost for options granted prior to April 1, 1995 is not
considered.

   Additionally, the Company has warrants outstanding as follows:

   During fiscal 1996, the Company loaned $548,000 to certain officers to fund
the exercise price of stock options and $2,816,000 to pay their personal income
tax liabilities related to the exercise.  The Company also loaned $1,632,000 to
officers for their stock option related income tax liabilities in fiscal 1997.
In fiscal 1996 and 1997, $4,210,000 and $4,016,000, respectively, of such loans
were repaid through the surrender of shares of the Company's common stock and
cash.  The Company intends to allow repayment of these demand notes, which are
collateralized by all of the personal assets of the respective officers, beyond
March 31, 1998.

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

   The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to the deferred tax
assets and liability were as follows:

                          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, 1996 and 1997, 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, 1997.  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, 1996 and
1997, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
years in the three-year period ended March 31, 1997, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

(1) These values have been determined based upon assumed rates of appreciation
    and are not intended to forecast the possible future appreciation, if any,
    of the price or value of the Company's Common Stock.

(2) The options entitle the holder to purchase shares of the Company's Common
    Stock at an exercise price which is equal to the fair market value per share
    on the date the stock option was granted.  Payment of the exercise price may
    be made in cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares.
    Named executives who pay the exercise price by exchange of Common Stock
    previously owned are issued a new stock option to purchase additional shares
    of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock so exchanged.
    No stock option may be exercised after the expiration of ten years and one
    day from the date of grant.  In the event of a change in control of the
    Company (as defined in the 1990 Incentive Plan), the stock options become
    fully exercisable as of the date of the change in control.

(3) These options vest in five equal annual installments commencing October 1,
    1997.

(4) These options were granted under the reload provision of the 1990 Incentive
    Plan upon Mr. O'Leary's surrender of 31,829 shares of Common Stock
    previously owned to pay the exercise price on his March 26, 1997 exercise of
    102,640 stock options.

Compensation of Directors
- -------------------------

          The Directors who are employees of the Company are not compensated for
serving as Directors.  For the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997, Directors who
were not employees of the Company received an annual retainer fee of $8,000, a
committee retainer fee of $1,000 for each committee on which they served, plus a
fee of $1,000 for each meeting of the Board of Directors and its committees
which they attended.

          Non-employee Directors also participate in the 1993 Outside Director
Stock Option Plan which provides for annual grants on April 1 of each year, to
each such Director, of stock options to purchase 1,000 shares of Common Stock at
the fair market value thereof.  Additionally, each non-employee Director on
October 1, 1994 received an award of 1,500 shares of Restricted Stock.  The Plan
provides for additional annual awards of 300 shares of Restricted Stock to each
non-employee Director on each October 1 thereafter.  Directors of the Company
are also reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses.


Employment Contracts and Termination of Employment and Change in Control
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Arrangements
- ------------

    Effective in 1996, the Company entered into Continuity Agreements with the
executives named in the Summary Compensation Table.  Such agreements for Messrs.
O'Leary, Marshall, Hamb, Dowell, and Mandrycky provide for minimum salaries of
$302,900, $189,861, $147,000, $135,000, and $128,224 respectively, bonuses as
determined by the Compensation Committee and employee benefits pursuant to any
plans and arrangements from time to time in effect.

    Each of such Continuity Agreements provides that, in the event of
termination of employment for a reason other than cause or disability occurring
within 36 months after a change in control of the Company, as defined in the
agreement, the executive is entitled to the payment of:  (i) an amount equal to
three times his highest annualized base salary plus three times the highest
bonus paid to such executive at any time during the five years preceding
termination and (ii) employee benefits for 36 months following termination.  The
executive is also entitled to (i) and (ii) in the event he leaves within 36
months after a change in control for "good reason" including, among other
things, changes in his duties or responsibilities, relocation of the Company's
offices, or failure to continue a material compensation or benefit plan.
Payments to Messrs. O'Leary and Marshall are to be made in a lump sum upon
termination.  Payments to the other executives are to be made in equal
installments over the 36 months following termination, subject to offset for
salary, bonus or benefit payments made by a subsequent employer within such 36
month period.
<PAGE>
 
    In the event of termination without cause or in the event of termination
subsequent to the 36-month period after change in control, the executive is
entitled to receive, for a period of nine months, his base salary, benefits, any
deferred salary, bonuses or other compensation subject to the terms of the
applicable plan, and a pro rata portion of the bonus that would have been
payable for that fiscal year if maximum discretionary bonuses had been paid.

    Amounts payable upon a change in control under any of the above Continuity
Agreements, are subject to reduction by an amount necessary to avoid any "excise
tax" under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.


Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
- -----------------------------------------------------------

    All of the members of the Compensation Committee are independent, non-
employee Directors of the Company and are not former officers of the Company.
Mr. Downey is Chairman and Messrs. Daw, Lennox and Montague are the other
current members of the Compensation Committee.  No executive officer of the
Company serves as a member of the board of directors or on the compensation
committee of a corporation of which any of the Company's Directors serving on
the Compensation Committee or on the Board of Directors is an executive officer.

    Mr. Lennox, the Company's Chairman of the Board and a member of the
Compensation Committee, was paid consulting fees of $80,000 by the Company
during the Company's fiscal year ended March 31, 1997.  The Company anticipates
paying consulting fees to Mr. Lennox in the future.

    Mr. Kubovcik, a former Director and member of the Compensation Committee, is
a partner in the law firm of Kubovcik & Kubovcik and a former partner in the law
firm of Adduci, Mastriani & Schaumberg, LLP, resident in their Washington DC 
office, of both of which provide legal services to the Company.
