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 28, 1997, 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 29, 1996 Annual Report.  The results of
         operations for the nine months ended September 28, 1997, are not
         necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

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

         Instruments worldwide printer and related supplies business for the
         purchase price of approximately $29.5 million.  The acquisition was
         financed primarily through the Company's credit facility with
         NationsBank and a note of $9 million to Texas Instruments with
         interest of approximately 8.5% payable over two years.  The goodwill
         of approximately $10 million associated with the purchase is being
         amortized over seven years.  The note to Texas Instruments was paid in
         full in September 1997.

         Pro Forma Financial Information

         Presented below are the unaudited pro forma 1996 statements of
         operations as if the acquired operations had been integrated into the
         Company effective January 1, 1996.  Accounting adjustments have been
         made in the pro forma financial information to include estimated costs
         of the combinations and to reflect the integration and consolidation
         of facilities and personnel.  Included in such integration costs are

6.       Commitments and Contingencies

         Environmental matters:

         The Company and the former owner of its Waynesboro, Virginia facility,
         General Electric Company ("G.E."), have generated and managed
         hazardous wastes at the facility for many years as a result of their
         use of certain materials in manufacturing processes.  The Company and
         the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") have agreed
         to a corrective action consent order (the "Order"), which became
         effective on September 14, 1990.  The Order requires the Company to
         undertake an investigation of solid waste management units at its
         Waynesboro, Virginia facility and to conduct a study of any necessary
         corrective measures that may be required. The investigative work under
         the Order is expected to be completed by December 1997.  Although not
         required by the Order, the Company has agreed to install and operate
         an interim ground water stabilization system, subject to EPA approval
         of the system design.    In 1996, the Company recorded a reserve for
         $0.6 million for pond closure and monitoring for ten years related to
         the Waynesboro facility.  The interim groundwater stabilization
         program may be chosen as the final remedy for the site, or additional
         corrective measures may eventually be required.  It is not possible to
         reliably estimate the costs that any such possible additional 
         corrective measures would entail.  However, if additional corrective





                                       7
<PAGE>   8
         measures are required, the Company expects that it will enter into 
         discussion with EPA concerning their scope and a further order for 
         that purpose.

         The Company has been notified by the EPA that it is one of 700
         potentially responsible parties ("PRPs") under the Comprehensive
         Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, for
         necessary corrective action at a hazardous waste disposal site in
         Greer, South Carolina.  In prior years, the Company arranged for the
         transportation of wastes to the site for treatment or disposal.
         During 1995, the PRPs entered into an administrative consent order
         with EPA under which they will undertake a remedial investigation and
         feasibility study which is currently underway.

         The Company was named as a defendant in an Original Petition and
         Petition for Injunctive Relief filed in August 1995 which alleged that
         the Company and certain other defendants were strictly liable for
         damages allegedly suffered by the plaintiffs as a result of
         contamination of groundwater at the Linn-Faysville Aquifer, in Texas,
         due to the disposal of dangerous products and materials at a landfill
         which was alleged to be the source of the contamination.  This matter
         was settled in May 1997 without the Company admitting liability,
         curtailing additional legal expenses.  The Company was fully reserved
         for the amount of the settlement and related legal expenses.

         Atlantic Design:

         In December 1995, the Company entered into a five year agreement later
         extended one year with  Atlantic Design Company, a subsidiary of Ogden
         Services Corporation, ("ADC") in which ADC took over the Company's
         manufacturing operations and employees in McAllen, Texas and Reynosa,
         Mexico.  The agreement is automatically renewed unless notice is
         given.   ADC is committed to manufacturing all of the Company's impact
         printer products, printed circuit boards, related supplies and spare
         parts.  The Company will retain design, intellectual property and
         distribution rights.  As part of this agreement, the Company is to be
         a preferred provider of impact and page printers and multivendor
         information technology services to Ogden Services Corporation.

         Ogden Services Corporation is attempting to divest ADC.  The Company's
         contract with ADC contains a clause requiring GENICOM's consent to the
         sale, which consent cannot be unreasonably withheld.  The Company is
         currently evaluating preliminary information received from ADC
         concerning a potential purchaser.

         In early August 1997, the Company received notification that ADC filed
         a Demand for Arbitration with the American Arbitration Association
         seeking a legal interpretation of the pricing provisions in the
         agreement between ADC and the Company and the recovery of an amount in
         dispute said to be approximately $2 million. The Company filed a
         counterclaim against ADC for approximately $10 million alleging
         various defaults under the agreement.  Ogden Services Corporation
         filed a counterclaim against the Company seeking unspecified damages
         in excess of $10 million alleging the Company was improperly
         interfering with the sale of ADC. No arbitrator has yet been appointed
         or hearing dates set.  The Company cannot presently predict the
         outcome of this matter or how the respective claims will be resolved.
         Neither the arbitration proceeding nor the resolution of the open
         issues between the Company and ADC is expected to impact the continued
         supply of the products ADC is manufacturing for the Company.

         Digital Equipment Corporation:

         On August 10, 1997, GENICOM Corporation and Digital Equipment
         Corporation ("DEC") entered into several agreements including an Asset
         Purchase Agreement, a Trademark License Agreement and a Cooperative
         Marketing and Sales Agreement (the "Agreements").  Under the
         Agreements, the Company became DEC's exclusive supplier of
         Digital-branded printer products with the Company assuming
         responsibility for DEC's printer business through an in-sourcing
         program that aligns the Company's operations as close to the inside of
         DEC as practical.  The Company is providing a broad line of products,
         business planning, technical support and distribution services to
         DEC's marketing channels.  As part of the transaction, the Company
         hired selected employees, acquired certain assets, received assignment
         and license rights for certain intellectual properties, and has access
         to DEC's customer base.  The Company will pay DEC a royalty on all
         printer sales related to the Agreements.

         Other matters:

         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 covers ten
         years with an average base cost of $4.3 million per year.

         In the ordinary course of business, the Company is party to various
         environmental, administrative and legal proceedings.  In the opinion
         of management, the Company's liability, if any, in all pending
         litigation or other legal proceedings, other than those discussed
         above, will not have a material effect upon the financial condition,
         results of operations or liquidity of the Company.

7.       On July 3, 1997,  the Company amended its credit agreement with
         NationsBank of Texas, N.A., as agent for a group of banks, which
         increased the Company's revolving credit line from $35 million to $40
         million.  Other terms and conditions of the credit agreement generally
         remained unchanged

         On September 5, 1997, the Company further amended and restated its
         credit agreement with NationsBank, increasing its total credit
         facilities to $110 million from $80 million.  The Company used part of
         the proceeds from the credit facilities to repay the $9 million note
         to Texas Instruments.  The term notes totaled $55 million with
         maturities of 5 and 7 years and the revolving credit line was
         increased from $40 million to $55 million.   The financial covenants
         for the facility were redefined.  The Company entered into a new
         interest rate swap which fixes the interest rate on $37.5 million of
         debt for a term of three years.  The fixed rate at the time the
         amendment was executed was approximately 8.5%.  The revolving credit
         line was increased to $70 million in October 1997 when commitments
         from additional lenders were received  increasing the total credit
         facilities to $125 million.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>



Revenue in the third quarter of 1997 increased 49.2% from the third quarter of
1996 primarily due to the revenue growth in Document Solutions ("DSC") as a
result of the acquisition of Texas Instruments' printer business and the
Digital Equipment Corporation Agreements.  DSC revenue, excluding Relays, was
95.7% higher than the third quarter of 1996 as a result of the acquisition of
the Texas Instruments' printer and related supplies business and the Digital
Agreements. Enterprising Service Solutions ("ESSC") revenue was flat quarter to
quarter.  Integrated Network Service ("INS") revenue, which represents
approximately of 20% ESSC revenue, increased 81.2% on strong performance of the
Canadian subsidiary and a new project in the U.S. with the NASDAQ Stock Market.
Revenue from Multivendor Services ("MVS"), also part of ESSC, decreased 9.9% in
the third quarter of 1997 compared to the year ago quarter.  MVS is in the
final stages of  transitioning its depot operations from Bedford, Massachusetts
and Waynesboro, Virginia to a single depot in Louisville, Kentucky.  The loss
of revenue from the Bedford depot, which closed early in the second quarter,
has not yet been fully recovered by the Louisville depot.  Some of the legacy
revenue from Bedford was not transferred to the Louisville depot.  In addition,
the Louisville depot transition is behind schedule, is still housed in
temporary facilities and is experiencing startup inefficiencies which are being
addressed through management and operational process changes.

For 1997 year to date, revenue increased $86.2 million from 1996.  DSC's
revenue, excluding Relays, increased $83.8 million or 74.9% primarily due to
the Texas Instruments acquisition and the Digital Agreements.  ESSC's revenue
for 1997 increased $0.4 million compared to 1996 principally from strong
performance by INS which was partially offset by lower revenue from MVS.   The
decline in revenue by MVS was primarily a result of the decline of legacy
revenue in the Bedford depot and the consolidation of the depots mentioned
above.

Relay revenues, which are included as part of Document Solutions in the above
table, were flat in the third quarter of 1997 as compared to the prior year
quarter.  For 1997 year to date, relay revenues have increased $1.9 million
from 1996.

The increase in order backlog from the third  quarter of 1996 primarily
reflects the effect of the Texas Instruments acquisition and the Digital
Agreements.  The increase in the backlog from the fourth quarter of 1996 is
principally the result of the Digital Agreements partially offset by a decline
in relays backlog.  The

Gross margin, as a percent of revenue, decreased from 24.0% in the third
quarter of 1996 to 23.2% in the third quarter of 1997.  As a percent of
revenue, gross margin for DSC excluding Relays decreased to 31.2% for the
quarter ended September 28, 1997 from 37.9% for the quarter ended September 29,
1996.  This decrease is primarily the result of a higher percentage of supply
sales from Texas Instruments and the Digital branded products which carry lower
gross margins than GENICOM designed supplies.  For ESSC, gross margin decreased
from 12.4% for the third quarter of 1996 to 5.7% for 1997 reflecting the costs
associated with consolidation of the depots and redundant costs between depots.
Relays gross margin increased from (18.0)% to 13.4% reflecting more efficient
operation of this small business unit.

As a percent of revenue, gross margin for the nine months ended September 28,
1997 was 24.1% as compared to 23.2% for the nine months ended September 29,
1996.  The gross margin percentage for DSC for the first nine months of 1997
decreased to 32.1% from 33.3% in 1996 due to the larger volume of lower margin
supplies sales mentioned above.  ESSC's gross margin percentage declined to
6.9% for year to date 1997 from 12.9% for the same period in 1996 for the
reasons described above.  Relay's gross margin increased from 1.8% to 20.9%.

</TABLE>




The increase of $2.6 million in operating expenses from the third quarter of
1996 was primarily a result of elevated levels of spending needed to support
the higher revenue in 1997 including the new products acquired from Texas
Instruments and Digital, transition costs to the new Louisville depot and
increased compensation and benefit costs.  Engineering increased $1.8 million
due to development costs related to  the new travel printer business acquired
from Texas Instruments and product development undertaken as part of the
Digital Agreements.  Operating expenses declined as a percentage of revenue in
the second quarter of 1997 to 18.6% as compared to 24.0% in 1996.

For the first nine months of 1997, operating expenses increased $11.7 million
compared to 1996 primarily for the reasons mentioned above.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

Interest expense increased $0.8 million in the third quarter of 1997 as
compared to the year-ago quarter primarily as a result of higher borrowings in
1997 due to the debt associated with the acquisition of the Texas Instruments'
printer business, increased working capital needs to support the business
expansion being experienced by the Company, the consolidation of the
Massachusetts and Virginia depots and increased capital expenditures for the
Company's new business system.  Interest expense for the nine months ended
September 28, 1997 increased $1.6 million compared to the same period in 1996
for the above reasons.

</TABLE>




The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 1997 was 19.5%.  This rate
reflects the Company's current estimate of its annual tax rate of approximately
19.0%.  The below normal tax rate is associated with the reversal of
approximately $1.5 million of consolidated valuation allowance on deferred tax
assets.  In the third quarter of 1996, the Company took a tax benefit of $2.8
million associated with reversal of U.S. deferred tax asset valuation
allowances.

</TABLE>

Cash used by operations changed $22.1 million from the first nine months of
1996 principally as a result of higher inventory and accounts receivable
balances necessary to support the increased levels of revenue.  The Company's
working capital increased $25.1 million as of September 28, 1997 as compared to
December 29, 1996 due primarily to a $15.9 million increase in inventory and a
$12.3 million increase in accounts receivable necessary to support the higher
level of sales.  Debt increased significantly with the proceeds used to support
the working capital needs of the business, the closing of the depots and the
increased capital expenditures of the new business systems.  The debt to equity
ratio increased slightly due to the increased debt needed to support operations
which has yet to be reflected in earnings.

On July 3, 1997,  the Company amended its credit agreement with NationsBank of
Texas, N.A., as agent for a group of banks, which increased the Company's
revolving credit line from $35 million to $40 million.  Other terms and
conditions of the credit agreement generally remained unchanged.

On September 5, 1997, the Company further amended and restated its credit
agreement with NationsBank, increasing its total credit facilities to $110
million from $80 million.  The Company used part of the proceeds from the
credit facilities to repay the $9 million note to Texas Instruments.  The term
notes totaled $55 million with maturities of 5 and 7 years and the revolving
credit line was increased from $40 million to $55 million.   The financial
covenants for the facility were redefined.  The Company entered into a new
interest rate swap which fixes the interest rate on $37.5 million of the debt
for a term of three years.  The fixed rate at the time the amendment was
executed was approximately 8.5%.  The revolving credit line was increased to
$70 million in October 1997 when commitments from additional lenders were
received increasing the total credit facilities to $125 million.

As of September 28, 1997, the Company had $35.0 million available for borrowing
under its revolving credit agreement.

In early August 1997, the Company received notification that ADC filed a Demand
for Arbitration with the American Arbitration Association seeking a legal
interpretation of the pricing provisions in the agreement between ADC and the
Company and the recovery of an amount in dispute said to be approximately $2
million. The Company filed a counterclaim against ADC for approximately $10
million alleging various defaults under the agreement.  Ogden Services
Corporation filed a counterclaim against the Company seeking unspecified
damages in excess of $10 million alleging the Company was improperly
interfering with the sale of ADC. No arbitrator has yet been appointed or
hearing dates set.  The Company cannot presently predict the outcome of this
matter or how the respective claims will be resolved.  Neither the arbitration
proceeding nor the resolution of the open issues between the Company and ADC is
expected to impact the continued supply of the products ADC is manufacturing
for the Company.
