                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


1.       In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
         financial statements of GENICOM Corporation and subsidiaries (the
         "Company" or "GENICOM") contain all adjustments (consisting only of
         normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company's
         consolidated financial position as of September 29, 1996, and the
         results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated.
         Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
         financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
         accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested
         that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in
         conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included
         in the Company's December 31, 1995 Annual Report.  The results of
         operations for the three and nine months ended September 29, 1996, are
         not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for
         the full year.  Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995
         condensed financial statements in order to conform to the 1996
         presentation.

2.       Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the
         first-in, first-out method, or market.  Inventories consist of, in
         thousands:

4.       During the first quarter ended March 31, 1996 the Company adopted the
         provisions of SFAS No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of
         Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of".  The
         implementation of SFAS No. 121 did not have a material effect on the
         Company's financial condition or results of operations in 1996.

5.       On January 12, 1996, the Company reached an agreement with NationsBank
         of Texas, N.A., as agent for a syndicate of banks, ("NationsBank") on
         $75 million of credit facilities.  The Company used this new credit
         agreement with NationsBank to retire all the debt associated with its
         former credit agreement with CIT and to retire all of the Company's
         outstanding 12.5% Senior Subordinated Notes.  As a result of the
         retirement of this debt the Company recognized a loss on the
         extinguishment of debt of $422,000, net of tax of $258,000.

         On September 30, 1996, the Company amended the credit facilities with
         NationsBank.  This amendment redefined the financial covenants, the
         interest rates and the principal payments of the agreement.

6.       Following the end of the quarter, as of September 30, 1996, the
         Company acquired certain assets of Texas Instruments worldwide printer
         and related supplies business for the purchase price of approximately
         $27 million.  The acquisition was financed primarily through the
         Company's credit facility with NationsBank and a note to Texas
         Instruments payable over two years.

         During a scheduled transition period of approximately six months,
         Texas Instruments will manufacture on behalf of the Company the
         products relating to the business acquired.  The Company has entered
         into an interim agreement with Atlantic Design Company, with whom the
         Company has an existing outsourcing manufacturing agreement, for the
         performance of manufacturing oversight and other functions during this
         period.  In conjunction therewith, all manufacturing equipment
         acquired by the Company from Texas Instruments was transferred to
         Atlantic Design as of September 30, 1996.  Under this interim
         agreement,  and unlike the Company's existing agreement with Atlantic
         Design pursuant to which Atlantic Design owns all inventory until
         transfer to the Company as finished goods, the Company will own all
         inventory (raw materials, work in process and finished goods) during
         this period.  The Company is negotiating to expand its existing, five
         year outsourcing agreement with Atlantic Design under which Atlantic
         Design would be the primary manufacturer of all value-added Genicom
         printer products, including those relating to the business acquired
         from Texas Instruments.

         The acquisition is being accounted for as a purchase and the
         allocation of the purchase price and related acquisition costs is
         subject to adjustment based upon refinements in the application of
         purchase method accounting and the final determination of the purchase
         price.

</TABLE>


Revenue in the third quarter of 1996 decreased 12.4% compared to the year-ago
quarter primarily due to a revenue fall off in Enterprising Service Solutions.

Enterprising Service Solutions ("ESS") revenue declined $7.1 million or 19.2%
in the third quarter of 1996.  The Multivendor Service revenue increased $0.2
million as a result of significant new business that has been partially offset
by the decline in legacy business.  Integrated Network Service revenue
decreased $7.4 million over last year's third quarter due to unique customer
opportunities the Company realized in Canada and with Nasdaq in 1995.   During
the initial growth phase and due to large contract values and long selling
cycles associated with the Integrated Network Services, the Company anticipates
that Integrated Network Services revenue may grow at an uneven rate.  The
Company is continuing to invest in the business directed at the fast growing
network management market.

Document Solutions ("DS") revenues during the third quarter of 1996 decreased
$2.6 million from the same period last year.  Printer sales declined 10.0% due
to laser printer sales being 25.1% lower than the same period a year ago.
Impact printer sales declined 6.6% for the third quarter of 1996 as compared to
the third quarter of 1995.  Supply and part sales decreased 6.0% from the third
quarter of 1995.

Relay revenues, which are included as part of Document Solutions, increased by
$0.6 million or 21.1% in the third quarter of 1996 as compared to the prior
year quarter.

Revenues for the first nine months of 1996 decreased $7.0 million from the same
period in 1995 primarily as a result of the decline in Integrated Network
Service revenue and printer revenue which was partially offset by increased
relay and multivendor service revenue.  Revenues for Enterprising Service
Solutions decreased $5.7 million for the period.  This decrease is primarily
related to the decline in Integrated Network Management revenues previously
discussed.  Document Solutions revenues were 1.1% lower for the first nine
months of 1996 as compared to 1995.  While printer revenues declined for both
laser and impact printers, parts and supplies revenues increased 5.2% partially
offsetting the decline in printer sales.  Relay revenues increased 13.6%.

The decrease in order backlog from the 1995 fourth quarter and the third
quarter of 1996 primarily reflects selected declining legacy business within
ESS and the certain systems integration contracts that





                                     PAGE 8
<PAGE>   9



were completed in 1995.  In addition, new service contracts represent potential
revenue versus firm commitments.  The backlog reflects only fixed-price
contracts for all orders associated with relays, service, systems integration,
network monitoring and those orders for printers, spare parts and supplies for
which a delivery date within approximately six months has been specified by the
customer.  The Company's backlog as of any particular date should not be the
sole measurement used in determining sales for any future period.

==============================================================================================================================
</TABLE>

Gross margin, as a percentage of revenue, decreased in the third quarter of
1996 as compared to the prior year quarter.  This decrease is principally
attributable to the fixed costs associated with the Massachusetts depot which
has been affected by the decline in the legacy service business.  The Company
is restructuring its service business to better align costs to revenue.

For the first nine months of 1996, gross margin also declined as a percentage
of revenue when compared to 1995 principally due to the effect of the declining
legacy service business, the consumption of inventory transferred to Atlantic
Design pursuant to the outsourcing agreement, and increased costs associated
with the extreme snow conditions which impacted the service depots in Virginia
and Massachusetts for a full week of production in January 1996.

===========================================================================================================================
</TABLE> 

Operating expenses increased in the third quarter of 1996 as compared to the
year-ago period, due to a number of factors including employee costs and the
outsourcing of the Company's MIS function.  This outsourcing of the MIS
function is directed at a long-term plan to upgrade systems and technology
skills base which the Company believes is necessary for the Company to remain
competitive.  In July 1996, the Company reached an agreement with Electronic
Data Systems ("EDS") to outsource its information systems and data processing
activities.  Under the agreement, EDS will operate and service the Company's
systems as well as design, install and service new business systems and global
networks.  The agreement is for a period of ten years. Operating expenses were
flat for year-to-date 1996 compared to the first nine months of 1995 primarily
due to the management's focus on cost controls partially offset by MIS expenses
and the Texas Instruments acquisition costs.

In addition, in the third quarter of 1996, following Board of Directors review,
the Company accrued $1.5 million associated with environmental charges and $4.2
million for restructuring the worldwide service business.  The environmental
charge is the Company's best estimate at the present time of the





                                     PAGE 9
<PAGE>   10



remaining costs associated with certain environmental matters including
$617,000 for pond closure and monitoring for ten years at the Company's
Waynesboro, Virginia facility and $862,000 for litigation costs associated with
the Linn-Faysville Aquifer in Texas.  The restructuring charge for the service
business involves among other things, costs to facilitate the establishment of
the Company's new "end of runway" depot service center in Louisville, Kentucky
and other changes in the delivery of services by the Enterprising Service
Solutions group.

The decrease in interest expense in the third quarter of 1996 as compared to
the year-ago quarter and for the nine months ended is primarily due to the
Company's retirement of its outstanding 12.5% senior subordinated notes in
February 1996 and the refinancing of the Company's credit facility through
NationsBank of Texas, N.A., as agent for a group of banks, in January 1996.

The Company's effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 1996 was a
benefit of (66.7%) as compared to an expense of 14.9% for the year-ago period.
The tax rate for the nine months ended September 29, 1996 was a benefit of
(97.0%) as compared to an expense of 18.5% for the same period in 1995.  In
1995, the rate was significantly affected by foreign income taxes and tax
credits and  the utilization of net operating losses. In the third quarter of
1996, the Company took a tax benefit of $2.8 million associated with the
reversal of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.  Based on forecasts
including the expected positive effect of the Texas Instruments acquisition,
management estimates that these tax assets will be fully recoverable.

The Company's working capital increased $3.3 million as of September 29, 1996
as compared to December 31, 1995 due primarily to the reduction in current
liabilities,  as partially offset by a reduction in inventories.  As of
September 29, 1996, the Company's current debt consists of payments due within
one year on its term notes with NationsBank and notes associated with the
purchase of Harris Adacom and Printer Systems in 1995.  The acquisition of
Texas Instruments printer business was financed through facilities which did
not increase required debt payments in the year immediately following the
acquisition.

On January 12, 1996, the Company reached an agreement with NationsBank of
Texas, N.A., as agent for a syndicate of banks, ("NationsBank") on $75 million
of credit facilities.  Under the agreement, NationsBank is providing a $35
million revolving credit facility and two term loans totaling $40 million.  In
a separate transaction, the Company entered into an interest rate swap
arrangement with NationsBank which fixes the interest rate for five years on a
substantial portion of the debt.  The fixed rate at the time of the agreement
was executed averaged 8.25%.  In May 1996, the Company renegotiated the term of
the interest rate swap, decreasing the term from five to three years.  As a
result of the term change, the Company received a payment of $530,000 resulting
in a gain which is being amortized to income over the remaining life of the
Company's term loans.  On September 30, 1996, the Company amended the credit
facilities.  This amendment redefined the financial covenants, adjusted the
interest rates as well as the principal payments of the agreement.  As of
September 29, 1996, the Company had $15.0 million outstanding and $12.2 million
available for borrowing on the revolving credit facility and $34.8 million
outstanding in term loans.

The Company used the new credit agreement to retire all the debt associated
with its former credit agreement with CIT and to retire all of the Company's
outstanding senior subordinated notes.  As part of the refinancing, the Company
recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.4 million net of tax.

At the end of June 1996, the Company sold the stock of its Mexican subsidiary,
whose principal asset was a building in Reynosa, Mexico, receiving net proceeds
of $3.5 million and recognizing a gain of $1.5 million.

Following the end of the quarter, as of September 30, 1996, the Company
acquired certain assets of Texas Instruments worldwide printer and related
supplies business for the purchase price of approximately $27 million.  The
acquisition was financed primarily through the Company's credit facility with
NationsBank and a note to Texas Instruments payable over two years.

During a scheduled transition period of approximately six months, Texas
Instruments will manufacture on behalf of the Company the products relating to
the business acquired.  The Company has entered into an interim agreement with
Atlantic Design Company, with whom the Company has an existing outsourcing
manufacturing agreement, for the performance of manufacturing oversight and
other functions during this period.  In conjunction therewith, all
manufacturing equipment acquired by the Company from Texas Instruments was
transferred to Atlantic Design as of September 30, 1996.  Under this interim
agreement,  and unlike the Company's existing agreement with Atlantic Design
pursuant to which Atlantic Design owns all inventory until transfer to the
Company as finished goods, the Company will own all inventory (raw materials,
work in process and finished goods) during this period.  The Company is
negotiating to

expand its existing, five year outsourcing agreement with Atlantic Design under
which Atlantic Design would be the primary manufacturer of all value-added
Genicom printer products, including those relating to the business acquired
from Texas Instruments.

As a result of this acquisition, the Company anticipates that it will add
scale, products and customers to its existing printer business.  The printer
business now includes Texas Instruments ticketing printer product line which is
directed at the transportation industry.  In addition to the ticketing
printers, the Company acquired mid-range laser products, high-end serial
products and the supplies related to each respective product line.  This
acquisition was driven by the Company's strategy of focusing on the mid-range
printer market.

The acquisition is being accounted for as a purchase and the allocation of the
purchase price and related acquisition costs is subject to adjustment based
upon refinements in the application of purchase method accounting and the final
determination of the purchase price.
