                           QUIPP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include the
accounts of Quipp, Inc. and Quipp Systems, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary). All
significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis
consistent with that used as of and for the year ended December 31, 1998 and, in
the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (principally consisting of
normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to present fairly the financial
position of Quipp, Inc. as of September 30, 1999, and the results of its
operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 and the cash
flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The results of operations
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31,
1999. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the
instructions of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. The consolidated Balance Sheet at December
31, 1998 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. Certain
previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
period's presentation.

NOTE 2 - INVENTORIES
Inventories at September 30, 1999 include material, labor and factory overhead
and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the
first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The composition of inventories at September
30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 is as follows:


                                   September 30, 1999      December 31, 1998

Work In Process                        1,271,900                 179,388
Finished Goods                           104,409                 193,922
                                      ----------------------------------------
                                      $3,536,979              $2,989,950


NOTE 3 - EARNINGS PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARES

Earnings per share amounts are based upon the weighted average number of common
and common equivalent shares outstanding during the year. Common equivalent
shares are excluded from the computation in periods in which they have an
anti-dilutive effect. Basic EPS excludes all dilution, and is based upon the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
EPS reflects the potential dilution that would occur if options, warrants,
convertible securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised
or converted into common stock.

                                       6

NOTE 4 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

As of January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards
Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" (SFAS 130). This statement establishes standards for
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set
of general-purpose financial statements. It does not, however, specify when to
recognize or how to measure items that make up comprehensive income. SFAS 130
was issued to address the concerns over the practice of reporting elements of
comprehensive income directly in equity. Adoption of this statement did not have
a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

NOTE 5 - CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to litigation,
including asserted and unasserted claims. In the opinion of management, the
resolution of these matters would not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

</TABLE>

THREE MONTHS ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
NET SALES for the three months ended September 30, 1999 were $7,914,975, an
increase of $767,951 (10.7%) over net sales of $7,147,024 in the same period of
the prior year. The increase in net sales was due to stronger domestic sales.

GROSS PROFIT for the three-month period ended September 30, 1999 was $2,921,023,
an increase of $132,495 (4.8%) as compared to $2,788,528 for the corresponding
period in 1998. The decrease of gross profit as a percentage of net sales was
attributable to a higher percentage of original equipment manufacturers (OEM)
equipment sales, which generally have lower margins than products manufactured
by the Company.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 were $1,333,503, a decrease of $76,901 (5%) as compared to
$1,410,404 for the corresponding period of 1998. The decrease reflects reduced
spending for legal and accounting fees. In 1998, the Company incurred legal and
accounting fees in connection with an aborted business combination transaction
and patent infringement litigation that the Company brought against another
company. The litigation settled in 1998.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1999
were $100,950, a decrease of $57,618 (36.3%) as compared to $158,568 for the
corresponding period in 1998. The decrease reflects reduced spending for the
Company's new palletizer and gripper conveyer products, which are in the later
stages of development.

INTEREST INCOME for the three months ended September 30, 1999 was $113,645 as
compared to $163,892 for the same period in 1998. The decrease in interest
income reflects lower cash and cash equivalents and securities available for
sale during the third quarter of 1999 due to payment of a $13,196,008 special

NINE MONTHS ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
NET SALES for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were $23,354,594, an
increase of $3,372,848 (16.9%) over net sales of 19,981,746 in the same period
of the prior year. The increase in net sales for the nine months period was
primarily due to stronger domestic sales.

GROSS PROFIT for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was $8,298,840, an
increase of $606,755 (7.9%) as compared to $7,692,085 for the corresponding
period in 1998. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net sales is
primarily due to a higher percentage of sales of original equipment
manufacturers (OEM) equipment, which generally have lower margins than products
manufactured by the Company.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE expenses for the nine months ended September
30, 1999 were $4,166,051, an increase of $68,324 (1.7%) as compared to
$4,097,727 for the corresponding period in 1998. As a percentage of sales,
selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from 20.5% to 17.8%. The
decrease reflects reduced spending for legal and accounting fees. In 1998, the
Company incurred legal and accounting fees in connection with an aborted
business combination and patent infringement litigation that the Company brought
against another company. The litigation settled in 1998.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1999
were $612,428, an increase in of $102,942 (20.2%) as compared to $509,486 for
the corresponding period of 1998. The increase was primarily due to the costs
related to the development of the Company's new palletizer and the gripper
conveyer, which were incurred principally during the first and second quarter of
1999.

INTEREST INCOME for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was $454,965 as
compared to $456,856 for the same period in 1998. The decrease in interest
income was attributable to lower average balances of cash and cash equivalents
and securities available for sale as a result of the $13,196,008 special
dividend paid in May 1999.

GENERAL

The order backlog as of September 30 1999 was $10,119,131 compared to
$10,556,480 at December 31, 1998 and $6,487,503 at September 30 1998. The
company expects to ship all backlog within the next twelve months.

LIQUIDITY

Cash, and cash equivalents and securities available for sale totaled $9,877,556
compared to $20,281,287 at December 31, 1998, a decrease of $10,403,731 or
51.3%. This decrease was primarily due to the payment to our shareholders of the
special dividend of $13,196,008 on May 10, 1999. This decrease was partially
offset by $2,834,177 received upon the exercise of stock options. Working
capital on September 30, 1999 was $13,304,326, an increase of $1,026,673 from
$12,277,653 at June 30, 1999. This increase principally reflects the Company's
net income of $1,088,846 for the three months ended September 30, 1999. The
Company believes that the cash, cash equivalents and securities available for
sale, together with cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund
operations at current levels.

YEAR 2000
The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year. In other words, date
sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than
the year 2000. This could result in system failures or miscalculations causing
disruptions of operations, including, among others, a temporary inability to
process transactions, send invoices or engage in similar normal business
activities.

The Company has been engaged in an evaluation of its Year 2000 readiness about
its information technology and non-information technology systems. In addition,
the Company has analyzed its products as they relate to the Year 2000 issue. The
Company has also attempted to analyze Year 2000 issues relating to third parties
with which the Company has a business relationship. The status of the Company's
efforts is as follows:

INTERNAL SYSTEMS AND PRODUCTS
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS - The Company's software supplier has advised the
Company that the manufacturing and accounting software used by the Company is
Year 2000 compliant. In addition, the Company's AS400 operating system has been
upgraded, and the Company has received correspondence from the vendor stating
that the software is Year 2000 compliant. The Company began testing its
manufacturing, accounting and operating system during the fourth quarter of
1998. Based upon the results of the Company's testing, and correspondence
received from its software supplier, the Company believes its manufacturing,
accounting, and operating systems are year 2000 compliant.

The Company's manufacturing department was using a computerized data collection
system to record labor time and attendance. This system was not Year 2000
compliant. The Company replaced the software and related hardware in February of
1999 with software and hardware that is certified by the manufacturer to be Year
2000 compliant.

NON-INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS - The Company's heating, cooling, ventilation
and alarm systems include microprocessor-based components. The heating, cooling
and ventilation systems suppliers have advised the Company that these systems
are not date sensitive. The alarm system was replaced in November 1998 with a
system certified by the manufacturer to be year 2000 compliant.

PRODUCTS - The Company's products are not materially date sensitive. Moreover,
products currently manufactured that have time and date functions are Year 2000
compliant and product notification bulletins have been sent to the customers
regarding Year 2000 issues. Therefore, the Company does not believe it has any
material exposure about its products as a result of the Year 2000 issue.

COSTS OF YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE - The Company's Year 2000 compliance costs to date
have been approximately $50,000. The Company does not anticipate any additional
material costs relating to Year 2000 compliance.

YEAR 2000 ISSUES RELATING TO THIRD PARTIES
VENDORS - The Company utilizes approximately 360 vendors to supply parts,
materials and components for its various products. The Company has surveyed its
major vendors regarding their Year 2000 status. Several vendors have supplied
letters to the Company stating that they

                                       10
<PAGE>

are either Year 2000 compliant or that they would be Year 2000 compliant by
December 31, 1999. However, the Company is unable to verify this information,
and it is possible that advice received from vendors may be erroneous. Moreover,
certain vendors have not responded to the Company's request for information and
may not be Year 2000 compliant. Nevertheless, the Company believes alternative
sources of supply are available for all required components. Therefore, absent
widespread difficulties affecting several critical vendors, the Company does not
anticipate that vendors' Year 2000 issues would have a material adverse effect
on the Company. In addition, some machine parts could be manufactured in the
Company's in-house machine shop.

The Company has received verbal verification from several of its freight
providers that they are Year 2000 compliant. However, the Company is unable to
verify this information. The Company is not currently aware of the Year 2000
readiness of certain outside service companies, such as telecommunications or
utility providers. The failure of these providers to be Year 2000 compliant
could have a material adverse effect on the Company, which is not currently
quantifiable. In the worst case, the Company's operations could be seriously
disrupted.

CUSTOMERS - The Company's customer base typically changes significantly from
year to year. Since the Company's equipment is designed to have an extended
life, significant repeat orders are not received on a regular basis. As a
result, the Company is unable to predict the identity of most of its major
customers in the Year 2000 and thereafter. Therefore, the Company has not made
an inquiry as to whether the customers' computer driven payment or purchasing
processes is Year 2000 compliant. A customer's Year 2000 issues could cause a
delay in receipt of purchase orders or payment. If Year 2000 issues are
widespread among the Company's customers, the Company's sales and cash flow
could be materially adversely affected.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
The statements contained above regarding the shipment of backlog during the next
twelve months; third party statements regarding Year 2000 readiness of their
products, services and systems; costs of Year 2000 measures; consequences of the
failure of Company products and systems, and outside parties to be Year 2000
compliant; and other Year 2000 related matters are forward looking statements
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. A
number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from
those in the forward looking statements including, among others, economic
conditions generally and specifically in the newspaper industry, change in
product demand, delays in shipment, cancellation of customer orders,
unanticipated hardware or software problems in connection with upgrades,
unavailability of vendors to replace vendors having Year 2000 difficulties,
inability of the Company to internally fabricate some machine parts and
unanticipated costs of Year 2000 measures.

ITEM 3  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to various types of market risk, including changes in
interest rates. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes
in market rates and prices, such as interest rates. The Company does not enter
derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
The Company's cash and investments exceed short and long-term debt, therefore,
the exposure to interest rates relates primarily to its investment portfolios.

                                       11
<PAGE>


Due to the short-term maturities of the Company's investments, management
believes that there is no significant risk arising from interest rate
fluctuations. The Company is actively managing the investment portfolios to
increase return on investments, but in order to ensure liquidity, only invests
in instruments with credit quality and where a secondary market exists. The
counterparties are major financial institutions and government agencies. The
Company's investment portfolios did not materially change from June 30, 1999 to
September 30,1999.
