     The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared

     the interim periods. These condensed interim financial data should be
     read in conjunction with the Company's latest annual report to

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 metropolitan service areas. The number of
metropolitan service areas served increased from 54 to 66 from June 30,
1995 to June 30, 1996. The number of TRM Centers grew from 28,995 to 31,719
over the same period. As of September 30, 1996, the Company had 70
metropolitan service areas with 32,551 TRM Centers.

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

     Sales for the first quarter were $16.6 million, up 5.5% from first
quarter sales of the previous year of $15.7 million. This growth is due to
increased numbers of installed units during the quarter offset by slightly
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 17.2% to
16.5% 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 increased 2.6% during the period over the prior year.
This was below the sales growth rate because of lower paper and toner usage
under the Company's higher copy price programs and because of lower paper
costs worldwide.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses grew 10.3% to $4.5
million in the first quarter although they were lower than in the
immediately two preceding quarters. This downward trend reflects the
decreasing need to invest in new people and management systems.

     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 $14.5 million as of September
30, 1995, to $7.0 million as of September 30, 1996.

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

     During the three months ended September 30, 1996, cash flow from
operations fully funded capital expenditures of $832,000 and allowed for
repayment of $1.1 million in bank borrowings. This level of capital
expenditures was below the $1.7 million spent in the same period of the
prior year because the Company focused on removing and redeploying
low-performing customer placements in North America during the first
quarter.

     The Company currently anticipates capital expenditures of
approximately $7 to $10 million during fiscal 1997. 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, 1997.

     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.
