                              EQUITRAC CORPORATION

               NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

        The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been
    prepared by the Company, in accordance with generally accepted accounting
    principles, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
    Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosure normally
    included in financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to
    such rules and regulations.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying
    financial statements include all adjustments (of a normal recurring nature)
    which are necessary to state fairly the results for the interim periods
    presented.  The results for the six months ended August 31, 1996 are not
    necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal
    year.  These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in
    conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
    Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 29, 1996,
    filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

2.  MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
    accepted accounting principals requires management to make estimates and
    assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
    disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
    statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
    reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3.  REVENUE RECOGNITION

        Sales revenue is recognized upon installation and customers' acceptance.
    Service and support revenues are recognized ratably over the period in which
    the service and support are provided. Rental contract revenue, which
    includes service and support on the underlying rental equipment and
    software, is recognized ratably over the term of the respective lease.
    Rental contracts are accounted for as operating leases.

4.  CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

        Cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with maturities
    of three months or less when purchased.  The Company maintains cash and cash
    equivalent balances with high quality financial institutions.  The Company
    periodically evaluates the relative credit risk of these financial
    institutions.

5.  INVESTMENT SECURITIES

        Investment securities generally consist of municipal bonds, U.S.
    Treasury obligations and investment grade corporate bonds with maturities
    ranging from nine months to twenty-one years.


                                       6



<PAGE>   8


6.  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

        Property and equipment consist primarily of system equipment rented to
    customers and system equipment used to service customers with service
    contracts and are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Rental
    equipment is depreciated on a straight line basis over five years.

7.  INVENTORIES

        Inventories comprised primarily of system components, parts and supplies
    are carried at the lower of weighted-average cost or market.  The weighted
    average cost of inventories approximates the "first in-first out" ("FIFO")
    method.

8.  PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT COSTS

        Product development costs are expensed as incurred.

9.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

        Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted
    average number of common and common equivalent shares during the period.
    Dilutive outstanding stock options are considered common stock equivalents
    and are included in the calculation using the treasury stock method.

10. ACQUISITIONS

        On March 1, 1996, the Company acquired the cost recovery customer base
   of ISI Infortext, Inc. ("ISI"), a distributor of cost recovery and
   telemanagement products.  The transaction was financed by $1,834,000,
   including $1,450,000 of cash restricted for that purpose as of February 29,
   1996, and the assumption of a liability of $611,000 to fulfill service
   contracts.  Additional consideration is contingent upon the results of the
   acquisition during fiscal 1997.

        Intangible assets recorded in connection with this and previous
   acquisitions represent costs allocated to specifically identifiable assets
   and the excess of cost over the fair market value of tangible and
   identifiable intangible assets arising from these acquisitions ("goodwill").
   The costs of all identifiable intangible assets are being amortized on a
   straight line basis over their respective estimated useful lives, ranging
   from three to ten years.  Goodwill is amortized over ten years. Amortization
   expense on the intangible assets for the six months ended August 31, 1996
   and 1995 was $551,000 and $473,000, respectively.

11. CONTINGENCIES

        The Company is involved from time to time in legal proceedings incident
    to the normal course of its business.  Management believes that adverse
    decisions in any pending or threatened proceedings would not have a material
    adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

        Certain aspects of the Company's fiscal 1992, 1993 and 1994 federal
    income tax returns are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue
    Service ("IRS").  The IRS is reviewing the characterization and useful lives
    of certain intangible assets of the Company.  A report previously issued by
    the IRS assessing additional taxes, penalties and interest for the 1992
    fiscal year has been rejected by the IRS appeals division and the case has
    been returned to the initial examiner.  A revised report has not been
    received regarding the Company's 1992 tax return and no report has been
    received regarding the Company's 1993 and 1994 tax returns.  If the IRS
    prevails, the Company may be required to make payments relating to the
    timing of tax deductions taken on these federal income tax returns.  The
    Company may also be assessed interest and penalties.  Although management
    and its tax advisors believe that the Company has a meritorious position,
    the ultimate outcome of this matter cannot presently be determined and,
    therefore, no liability has been recorded at this time.  The Company intends
    to vigorously defend its position.

12. RECLASSIFICATIONS

        Certain interim statement of income items have been reclassified to
    conform with the fiscal year 1997 presentation.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The Company's revenues are derived from three principal sources: (1) sales
of new systems, upgrades and add-ons of equipment and software; (2) maintenance
service and software support agreements and (3) leases of its system equipment
and software.  The Company offers its customers the option of purchasing a
system or leasing a system pursuant to an operating lease (the term of which is
typically 36 months or longer), which includes all service and software support
services.  The Company offers its purchase customers service and software
support agreements (the terms of which are typically for 36 months or longer).
Systems that are neither leased nor purchased in conjunction with a service
contract are serviced by the Company on a time-and-materials basis.  The
Company's computer service division offers its customers service contracts (the
terms of which are typically for 12 months) and also provides service on a
time-and-materials basis.

     The following table sets forth selected items in the Condensed Statements
of Income as a percentage of total revenues.

REVENUES

     Total revenues for the second quarter ended August 31, 1996 increased 25%
to $10,294,000 from $8,265,000 in the same quarter last fiscal year.  For the
six months ended August 31, 1996, total revenues were $19,957,000, an increase
of 20% over revenues of $16,649,000 recorded in the same six month period in
the prior fiscal year.  The Company's total revenues increased primarily as a
result of increases in sales revenues and service and support revenues.  System
sales revenues were comprised primarily of revenues from sales of new systems
to existing and acquired customers and, to a lesser extent, from sales of new
systems to new customers and from sales of add-on equipment to existing
customers.  Service and support revenues and rental revenues were comprised
primarily of recurring revenues from existing and acquired maintenance and
lease agreements.

     Sales revenues.  Sales revenues for the quarter ended August 31, 1996
increased 37% to $4,445,000 from $3,238,000 in the same quarter last fiscal
year.  Sales revenues for the six months ended August 31, 1996 increased 26% to
$8,410,000 from $6,700,000 in the same six month period last fiscal year.  A
portion of these increases in sales revenues resulted from sales of new systems
to customers acquired through the Infortext acquisition.  Sales revenues
derived from customers acquired through the Infortext acquisition were $668,000
and $1,025,000 during the quarter and six months ended August 31, 1996,
respectively.  The remaining increases resulted from an increase in volume of
sales of new systems to existing customers.

     Service and support revenues.  Service and support revenues for the
quarter ended August 31, 1996 increased 30% to $3,224,000 from $2,475,000 in
the same quarter last fiscal year.  Service and support revenues for the six
months ended August 31, 1996 increased 29% to $6,334,000 from $4,907,000 in the
same six month period last fiscal year.  A portion of these increases in
service and support revenues resulted from revenues derived from customers
acquired through the Infortext acquisition and increased revenues in the
Company's computer services division.  Service and support revenues derived
from customers acquired through the Infortext acquisition were $379,000 and
$767,000 during the quarter and six months ended August 31, 1996, respectively.
Service and support revenues generated by the Company's computer service
division increased to $215,000 and $363,000 during the quarter and six months
ended August 31, 1996, respectively from $67,000 and $124,000 in the same
quarter and six month period last fiscal year.

     Rental Revenue.  Rental revenues for the quarter ended August 31, 1996
increased to $2,625,000 from $2,552,000 in the same quarter last fiscal year.
Rental revenues for the six months ended August 31, 1996 increased to
$5,213,000 from $5,042,000 in the same quarter last fiscal year.  These
increases in rental revenue resulted from rental contracts acquired at the end
of last fiscal year relating to a settlement with a leasing company.  Rental
revenues derived from these acquired contracts were $112,000 and $216,000 for
the quarter and six months ended August 31, 1996, respectively.  As a result of
this settlement, rental revenue is anticipated to be higher in the third and
fourth quarters of the current fiscal year than in the third and fourth
quarters of last fiscal year.  However, due to the trend of customers
purchasing new systems rather than entering into new lease agreements as their
old lease agreements expire, Management anticipates that rental revenue will
comprise a decreasing percentage of total revenues in future periods.

EXPENSES

     Cost of revenues.  Cost of revenues is comprised primarily of (i) the cost
of hardware and other system components associated with system sales and
service, (ii) payroll and other expenses related to the Company's
manufacturing, customer support and service personnel and (iii) depreciation of
system rental and service units.  Cost of revenues for the quarter ended August
31, 1996 increased to $3,775,000, or 36.7% of total revenues, from $2,952,000,
or 35.7% of total revenues, in the same quarter last fiscal year.  Cost of
revenues for the six months ended August 31, 1996 increased to $7,329,000, or
36.7% of total revenues, from $5,991,000, or 36.0% of total revenues.  These
increases in cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues resulted primarily
from higher costs of revenues as a percentage of revenues in the Company's
newly acquired Infortext Group division compared to the Company's existing cost
recovery divisions.  Partially offsetting this increase was the rental revenues
acquired in the leasing company settlement without related costs of revenues.

     Product development expenses.  Product development expenses for the
quarter ended August 31, 1996 increased to $528,000, or 5.1% of total revenues
from $315,000, or 3.8% of total revenues, in the same quarter last fiscal year.
Product development expenses for the six months ended August 31, 1996 increased
to $960,000, or 4.8% of total revenues, from $574,000, or 3.4% of total
revenues, in the same six month period last fiscal year.  Current development
efforts are focused on enhancing and expanding the Equitrac and Infortext cost
recovery product lines as well as developing several new products.  Development
efforts include joint development projects with major office equipment
manufacturers relating primarily to tracking and reporting activity on laser
printers, digital copiers and other office equipment.  Other new products under
development include the Equitrac Professional Internet Client ("E.P.I.C."), a
full-featured Internet browser designed to control Internet access and track
on-line research and e-mail for billing and management purposes and the
development of TelemeTrac(TM), a product which collects and consolidates
photocopier meter totals remotely through cellular telephone networks.  The
Company does not capitalize any of its product development costs since
development costs incurred subsequent to attainment of technological
feasibility of a new product line are not deemed to be significant; accordingly
product development expenses for each period include all hardware and software
development costs incurred.  Management anticipates product development
expenses to remain above previous fiscal year levels for the remainder of the
current fiscal year due to the Company's increased product development
activities which are focused on new technologies.

     Selling expenses.  Selling expenses for the quarter ended August 31, 1996
increased to $1,602,000, or 15.5% of total revenues, from $1,472,000, or 17.8%
of total revenues, in the same quarter last fiscal year.  Selling expenses for
the six months ended August 31, 1996 increased to $3,170,000, or 15.9% of total
revenues, from $2,882,000, or 17.3% of total revenues, in the same six month
period last fiscal year.  These decreases in selling expenses as a percentage
of revenues resulted primarily from higher revenues per sales representative
during the quarter and six months ended August 31, 1996 compared to the same
quarter and six month period last fiscal year.

     General and administrative expenses.  General and administrative expenses
for the quarter ended August 31, 1996 increased to $3,434,000, or 33.4% of
total revenues, from $2,959,000, or 35.8% of total revenues, in the same
quarter last fiscal year.  General and administrative expenses for the six
months ended August 31, 1996 increased to $6,731,000, or 33.7% of total
revenues, from $5,990,000, or 36.0% of total revenues, in the same six month
period last fiscal year.  These declines in general and administrative expenses
as a percentage of revenues resulted primarily from the Company's ability to
increase revenues through acquisitions and internal sales growth without adding
a commensurate level of support and administrative positions.

     Interest income.  The Company's interest income increased to $108,000
during the quarter ended August 31, 1996 from $77,000 during the same quarter
last fiscal year.  Interest income for the six months ended August 31, 1996
increased to $234,000 from $144,000 in the same six month period last fiscal
year.  These increases in interest income resulted from both higher
interest-earning asset balances and higher yields on invested balances as the
Company reallocated a portion of its investment portfolio out of municipal
bonds into higher yielding investment grade securities.

     Income taxes.  The Company's effective income tax rate was 38.8% for the
quarter and six months ended August 31, 1996, compared to 37.6% and 37.2% in
the same quarter and six month period last fiscal year.  These increases in the
Company's effective tax rate resulted primarily from a reduction in tax exempt
municipal bond interest income.

     Certain aspects of the Company's fiscal 1992, 1993 and 1994 federal income
tax returns are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service
("IRS").  The IRS is reviewing the characterization and useful lives of certain
intangible assets of the Company.  A report previously issued by the IRS
assessing additional taxes, penalties and interest for the 1992 fiscal year has
been rejected by the IRS appeals division and the case has been returned to the
initial examiner.  A revised report has not been received regarding the
Company's 1992 tax return and no report has been received regarding the
Company's 1993 and 1994 tax returns.  If the IRS prevails, the Company may be
required to make payments relating to the timing of tax deductions taken on
these federal income tax returns.  The Company may also be assessed interest
and penalties.  Although management and its tax advisors believe that the
Company has a meritorious position, the ultimate outcome of this matter cannot
presently be determined and, therefore, no liability has been recorded at this
time.  The Company intends to vigorously defend its position.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company has funded its operations over the past several years
principally from cash flow from operations.  The Company's cash and cash
equivalents and investment securities decreased to $8,325,000 at August 31,
1996 from $10,423,000 at February 29, 1996.  This decrease in cash and cash
equivalents and investment securities resulted primarily from the Infortext
acquisition.  This acquisition was financed by $1,834,000, including $1,450,000
of cash restricted for that purpose as of February 29, 1996, and the assumption
of a liability of $611,000 to fulfill service contracts.  Additional
consideration is contingent upon the results of the acquisition during fiscal
1997.  The other significant uses of cash included the purchase of $400,000 of
inventory and the acquisition of $1,293,000 of property and equipment,
primarily system rental units which are leased to customers and system service
units which are used to service customers with service contracts.

     The Board of Directors has authorized the Company to spend up to
$2,000,000 to repurchase shares of the Company's issued and outstanding common
stock, based upon consideration of the Company's current cash position,
management's expectations of future cash flows from operating activities and
the level of cash required to fund future growth opportunities.  Through August
31, 1996, the Company repurchased 330,800 shares of its outstanding common
stock at an aggregate purchase price of $1,653,000.  Future purchases will be
made from time to time subject to prevailing market conditions in open market
or privately negotiated transactions.

     The Company anticipates that its cash and cash equivalents and marketable
securities and cash flow from operating activities will be adequate to meet the
Company's cash requirements for the foreseeable future.
