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

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Quipp, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries Quipp Systems, Inc.
and Quipp International Sales Corporation. Quipp International Sales Corporation
began business as a foreign sales corporation on March 1, 2000. 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, 1999 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, 2000 and the results of its
operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The
results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending
December 31, 2000. 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, 1999 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not
include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 2 - INVENTORIES

Inventories at September 30, 2000 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, 2000 and December 31, 1999 is as follows:

                                   September 30, 2000       December 31, 1999
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Raw materials                              $1,739,335              $2,152,647
Work in process                             1,821,506                 403,689
Finished goods                                110,492                  61,305
                                  --------------------------------------------
                                           $3,671,333              $2,617,641


NOTE 3 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share (EPS) is 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.

</TABLE>

Three Months ending September 30, 2000
--------------------------------------

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2000 were $9,109,325, an
increase of $1,194,350 (15.1%) over net sales of $7,914,975 for the
corresponding period in 1999. Our sales growth was primarily due to increased
domestic sales.

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was $3,239,603, an
increase of $318,580 (10.9%) as compared to $2,921,023 for the corresponding
period in 1999. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales was
primarily due to sales mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 were $1,416,379, an increase of $82,876 (6.2%) as compared to
$1,333,503 for the corresponding period in 1999. The increase is attributable to
higher direct selling costs partially offset by reduced trade show and
advertising expenses. Higher direct selling costs, such as travel and commission
expense, resulted from improved sales compared to the same period in 1999. In
1999, we increased spending on trade shows and advertising in trade journals in
order to promote two new products.

Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2000
were $294,795, an increase of $193,845 (192.0%) as compared to $100,950 for the
same period in 1999. These costs were incurred in connection with the
development of our new Quipp-Gripp II(TM) gripper conveyor system.

Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was $249,606 as
compared to $113,645 for the same period in 1999. The increase in interest
income resulted from higher interest rates on our securities available for sale
and higher average balances of cash and cash equivalents and securities
available for sale compared to the same period in 1999.

Nine Months ending September 30, 2000
-------------------------------------

Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 were $25,773,383, an increase
of $2,418,789 (10.4%) over net sales of $23,354,594 for the same period in 1999.
Our sales growth was primarily due to improved Latin American sales and
increased sales of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) equipment. Our Latin
American sales increased from approximately $345,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 to approximately $1,510,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000. We sell OEM equipment to compliment our product line and
provide our customers a single source for integrated post press material
handling systems.

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $9,515,804, an
increase of $1,216,964 (14.7%) as compared to $8,298,840 for the corresponding
period in 1999. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales is
primarily due to improved gross profit on OEM equipment sales and changes in
sales mix to product lines that generate greater gross profits.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 were $4,237,472, an increase of $71,421 (1.7%) as compared to
$4,166,051 for the same period in 1999. The increase is attributable to higher
direct selling costs partially offset by reduced trade show and advertising
expenses. Higher direct selling costs, such as travel and commission expense,
resulted from improved sales and increased order backlog compared to the same
period in 1999. In 1999 we increased spending on trade shows and advertising in
trade journals in order to promote two new products.

Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
were $552,525, a decrease of $59,903 (9.8%) as compared to $612,428 for the same
period in 1999. The reduced spending is due to the substantial completion of our
automatic palletizer partially offset by additional costs incurred in the
development of our new Quipp-Gripp II gripper conveyor system.

Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $585,908 as
compared to $454,965 for the same period in 1999. The increase in interest
income resulted from higher interest rates on our securities available for sale
and higher average balances of cash and cash equivalents and securities
available for sale compared to the same period in 1999.

General

The Company's backlog as of September 30, 2000 was $12,115,586 compared to
$10,119,131 at September 30, 1999. The Company expects to ship all backlog items
within the next twelve months.

Liquidity

On September 30, 2000, cash and cash equivalents and securities available for
sale totaled $17,089,723 as compared to $13,339,318 at December 31, 1999, an
increase of $3,750,405 or 28.1%. This increase was primarily due to cash
provided by operations. Working capital on September 30, 2000 was $18,230,925,
an increase of $3,712,442 from $14,518,483 at December 31, 1999. The Company
believes that its cash, cash equivalents and securities available for sale
together with cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund
operations at the current level.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued SEC Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101) "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements". SAB 101 discusses the SEC Staff's view in applying generally
accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements.
SAB 101 as supplemented by SAB 101B requires that companies whose fiscal year
begins between December 16, 1999 and March 15, 2000 adopt this bulletin no later
than their fourth quarter of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1999. We
are currently evaluating the impact of SAB 101 on our financial statements. If a
change in accounting policy is necessary, it will be made effective October 1,
2000 and would most likely result in a cumulative adjustment to net income as of
October 1, 2000. The adjustment would be recorded as deferred revenue and
recognized as revenue in future periods. In addition, a change of policy on
revenue recognition, if required, may affect the results for the periods in
which we recognize revenue in the future. Prior financial results would not be
restated.

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and
for hedging activities. SFAS No. 133, as amended, is effective for all quarters
beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 133 to have
a material affect on its consolidated financial position or its consolidated
statements of income.

Forward Looking Statements

The statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, including
statements concerning shipment of backlog orders and adequacy of available
resources, 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, but not limited to, economic conditions generally and
specifically in the newspaper industry, demand and market acceptance for new and
existing products, the impact of competitive products and pricing, manufacturing
capacity, delays in shipment, cancellation of customer orders, and engineering
and production difficulties.

Item 3   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

Market Risk

We are 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 for items such as interest rates. We do not enter into
derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Because our cash and investments exceed short and long-term debt, our exposure
to interest rate fluctuations relates primarily to our investment portfolio. Due
to the short term maturities of our investments, we believe there is no
significant risk arising from interest rate fluctuations. We are actively
managing our investment portfolios to increase return on investments, but, in
order to ensure safety and liquidity, will only invest 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 December 31, 1999 to September 30,
2000.
