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

General

     The Company has continued to expand its business by opening TRM Centers in
new and existing market areas. The number of market areas served increased from
66 to 72 from June 30, 1996 to June 30, 1997. The number of TRM Centers grew
from 31,719 to 34,796 over the same period. This expansion has continued into
the first three months of fiscal 1998 with the opening of two new market areas
and 264 TRM Centers. As of September 30, 1997, the Company had 74 market areas
with 35,060 TRM Centers.

Results of Operations

     Sales for the first quarter were $16.2 million, down 2.0% from first
quarter sales of the previous year of $16.6 million. This decline is due to
decreased average sales per unit. The growth in the number of installed units
reflects expansion in both existing and recently opened service areas.

     Sales discounts are the portion of revenue retained by customers. Sales
discounts as a percentage of sales continue to decline, from 16.5% to 15.8% in
the comparable quarters. This reflects changes made in business agreements with
new customers. The discount rate generally varies between individual retail
businesses based on volume.

     Cost of sales decreased 0.7% compared to the prior quarter. This is due to
copy volume, partially offset by increased field service wages.

     Selling, general and administrative costs grew by 0.4% to $4.5 million in
the first quarter. This is due to an increase in health care costs and vehicle
fleet costs.

     Interest costs are incurred because the Company uses bank borrowings to
help fund its expansion. The decrease in interest costs is primarily due to
lower debt levels, which decreased from $7.0 million as of September 30, 1996,
to $.5 million as of September 30, 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     During the three months ended September 30, 1997, cash flow from operations
of $2.1 million fully funded capital expenditures of $1.4 million and allowed
for repayment of $.1 million in bank borrowings.

     The Company currently anticipates capital expenditures of approximately $8
to $10 million over the next twelve months. The Company intends to finance these
capital expenditures with cash generated from operations and with bank
borrowings. The Company expects that these sources will provide adequate cash to
fund its expansion through at least June 30, 1998.

     Information in this Management's Discussions and Analysis about the
Company's goals, plans and expectations regarding expansion and capital
expenditures constitutes forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. The following factors are among the factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements:
business conditions in the market areas in which the Company operates,
competitive factors, customer demand for the Company's services, the Company's
ability to execute its plans successfully and the volatility of paper costs. Any
forward-looking statements should be considered in light of these factors as
well as risk factors and business conditions discussed in the Company's SEC Form
10-K for the year ended June 30, 1997.
