NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated 
condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only 
normal recurring items) necessary to present fairly its financial position 
as of February 28, 1994, and the results of operations and cash flows for the 
three month periods ended February 28, 1994 and 1993. 

Amounts for interim periods are unaudited.  Amounts for the year ended November
30, 1993, were derived from audited financial statements included in the 1993
Annual Report to Stockholders.

Certain prior year amounts in these financial statements have been reclassified 
to conform with current year presentation.

Effective December 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement 
Benefits Other Than Pensions" which requires that certain postretirement 
medical and life insurance benefits be accounted for on an accrual basis.

Fully diluted loss per share is considered to be the same as primary loss per
share, since the effect of certain potentially dilutive securities would be 
antidilutive.

See financial statements and accompanying notes in the Company's 1993 Annual 
Report.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We are pleased to report that an unseasonably strong sales demand in the
opening months of the new fiscal year resulted in our achieving earnings from
operations for the fiscal 1994 first quarter ended February 28, 1994 compared
to a substantial year-ago loss.  As discussed in the 1993 Fourth Quarter Report 
to Stockholders, in the 1994 first quarter the Company also adopted the 
mandatory accounting change pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting 
Standards (SFAS) 106 which governs accounting for nonpension retiree benefit 
costs.

SALES:  Sales for the first quarter were $45,236,000, a 42% increase over
sales of $31,949,000 in the comparable period of 1993.  The increase in sales
revenue reflects continued improvement in the domestic petroleum dispensing
equipment market, which was up 49% over the prior year, and continued growth
in the international market, which showed an increase of 32% relative to the
prior-year first quarter.

EARNINGS:  The Company reported earnings of $155,000 before the cumulative
effect of the SFAS 106 accounting change noted above.  This is a significant
improvement over the $5,201,000 loss reported in the first quarter of 1993. 
Increased sales, improved margins, and lower operating expenses as a percent
of sales contributed to the continued turnaround in earnings.  The cumulative
noncash effect of adopting SFAS 106 was $13,416,000 representing the actuarially
determined transition obligation for retiree health benefits at the date of
adoption.

COSTS AND EXPENSES:  Cost of goods sold as a percent of sales for the three-
month period improved, relative to 1993, due primarily to reduced manufac-
turing costs. Selling, general, and administrative expenses, as a percent of
sales, were below the prior-year first quarter as a result of cost containment
initiatives implemented throughout the quarter.  Interest expense was below
the prior year due to a lower level of debt outstanding during the quarter. 
Other expense, net, was below the prior year in that the year-ago first
quarter included a loss of $500,000 on the sale of a nonproductive asset.

OTHER:  Cash used in operations for the quarter ended February 28, 1994 was
$1,905,000 versus $2,625,000 used in the prior-year first quarter.  The
improvement relative to the prior year resulted from the higher sales level,
higher inventory turns, and improved receivables collections.

Net cash used in investing and other activities was $405,000 in 1994,
primarily for capital expenditures.   Net cash used in investing and other
activities in the 1993 first quarter was $342,000, reflecting capital 
expenditures of $731,000 offset, in part, by proceeds from the sale of 
property, plant, and equipment of $389,000.

Net cash used in financing activities of $2,856,000, principally representing
debt reduction and preferred stock dividend payments, was $4,930,000 less than
the prior year.

DIVIDENDS:  Financial covenants of Tokheim's current bank agreement preclude
the payment of cash dividends on common stock throughout the term of the
agreement.

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS:  Most other public companies with fiscal years ended
December 31, adopted the SFAS 106 accounting change at 1993 year-end.  Because
of its November 30 fiscal year-end, Tokheim's adoption was in the 1994 first
quarter.  Like many of those companies, Tokheim elected to recognize the
entire SFAS 106 amount as a one-time charge rather than the alternative of
                                       6

spreading the adjustment over a period not to exceed 20 years.  In making the
decision to take the one-time charge in the first quarter, we conferred with
representatives from the financial community and others, including our
customers, many of whom had addressed the same issue in their own companies. 
Without exception, we were advised to take the mandatory charge as a one-time
adjustment.  Analysts, customers, and other sophisticated business people
focus on the pure operating results of a company, not the effects of
accounting changes whether they be positive or negative.  As we indicated in
our 1993 Fourth Quarter Report to Stockholders, adoption of SFAS 106 has no 
cash flow effect and does not represent any change in the way the Company has
administered or paid retiree health care benefits in past years.  

Recently, Tokheim negotiated a three-year, $47 million bank commitment to
refinance its existing loan agreement which was to have matured on December 1,
1994.  By all measures, the favorable terms of the new agreement reflect the
substantial progress the Company has made in improving its results from
operations and reducing its debt from $85 million approximately two years ago
to the present level of $41 million.  The new agreement will result in
substantial savings in interest cost relative to the amount the Company is
paying currently.  The new credit agreement, along with the equity private
placement of 1.3 million shares last July, successfully completes the
Company's overall recapitalization plan and provides a sound foundation to
finance the renewed growth of the business.

In the area of product development, the Company recently passed all
requirements of the California Air Resources Board (CARB) with its new
MAXVAC(TM) vacuum-assist vapor recovery system.  Tokheim's new MAXVAC(TM) 
system uses the latest technology to prevent the escape of gasoline vapors 
during refueling.  Research commissioned by Tokheim shows that consumers 
prefer the "ease of use" features incorporated in the new MAXVAC(TM) system.  
Under Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Stage II regulations, 57 ozone
nonattainment areas in the United States must come into compliance with EPA
air emissions standards by 1996.  It is estimated that over 30,000 retail
service station locations across the country will be impacted potentially by
Stage II vapor recovery control according to an independent market research
study.  The estimated number of stations converting to Stage II vapor recovery
in 1994 is approximately 12,000.  This translates to about 56,000 dispensers
that will require replacement or retrofitting to comply with the Clean Air Act
amendments of 1990.

We are more than gratified with having achieved profitability in the fiscal
first quarter which, as noted at the outset, traditionally represents the
seasonal trough of sales activity in the industry.  We interpret these results
as further validation of our expectations of a return to more normal levels of
business activity.  Our strong product position; the important strategic
alliances we have forged with Shell in Europe, Amoco here in the United
States, and VeriFone for development of POS technology; the cost reductions we
have implemented; and improvements we have made in operating efficiency, all
position the Company strongly to participate in the recovering market.

We look forward to outlining our 1994 objectives for our stockholders at the
annual stockholders' meeting to be held on April 13, 1994, at our corporate
offices in Fort Wayne.

          FOR THE QUARTERS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 1994 AND FEBRUARY 28, 1993


Primary earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares 
outstanding during each year.  The assumed exercise of employees' stock options
less the number of treasury shares assumed to be purchased from the proceeds
using the average market price of the Company's common stock is antidilutive, 
and is, therefore, not included in the primary earnings per share calculation. 

The following table presents information necessary to calculate earnings per 
share for quarters ended February 28, 1994, and February 28, 1993.

                                                          Primary

For 1993, fully diluted earnings per share is considered to be the same
as primary earnings per share, since the effect of certain potentially
dilutive securities would be antidilutive.
