 3.  (LOSS) INCOME PER SHARE

      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings
Per Share", replaces the calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per
share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is
calculated by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects
the potential dilution of stock options and warrants that could share in the
earnings of the Company. Diluted income per common share is computed using the
weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding
during each period. For those periods where a net loss is reported, stock
options and warrants are not considered; as their effect would be

 4.  NON-RECURRING CHARGE

      During the second quarter ended December 31, 1997, the Company recorded a
non-recurring charge of approximately $3.9 million as follows:

Write-down of intangible assets to net realizable value    3.0
Provision for lease costs of excess facilities              .9
                                                          ----
                                                          $3.9
                                                          ====

      As a result of the change in market conditions for certain products, in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.121 (SFAS 121),
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets
to be Disposed of", the Company wrote off certain intangible assets that the
Company determined were impaired. The Company wrote off approximately $2.7
million of purchased technology and $0.3 million of prepaid royalties for which
there is no estimated future economic benefit to the Company. The lease loss
accrual of $.9 million consists of costs related to excess facilities at the
Company's current facility in Burlington, MA, and abandoned space at the
Company's office in the United Kingdom.

XIONICS DOCUMENT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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

      This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains 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, including without limitation statements
regarding the anticipated shipment date of products containing the Company's
XipChip 1.5 ASIC and the development of and demand for the Company's future
products. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements are
inherently uncertain. Actual performance and results of operations may differ
materially from those projected or suggested in the forward-looking statements
due to various risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation: (i) the
possibility of termination of the Company's relationship with Hewlett-Packard
Company, from which the Company derives a significant portion of its revenue
from the supply of software and related technology and support; (ii) the
Company's dependence for its revenue upon the success of its customers in
developing and selling their own products, which incorporate the Company's
technology, to end users; (iii) the phasing out of the Company's royalty
payments from Lexmark International Group, Inc.; (iv) the Company's dependence
on its relationships with a relatively small number of significant customers;
(v) the difficulties and risks associated with the development and timely
introduction of new products, such as the Company's embedded technology for
multifunction peripheral devices, and the market acceptance of those products;
(vi) the difficulties and risks associated with competing in a market
characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards and
frequent new product introductions, and in which the market success of entities
providing embedded software products for office devices has historically been
largely determined by their success in becoming one of the industry's
standards; (vii) the Company's dependence for the success of its MFP-oriented
products upon broad market acceptance of devices of this type, and upon its OEM
customers' ability to develop and market MFPs that meet market demands for
functionality, performance, speed, and network connectivity; (viii) the
pressures of intense competition from the Company's competitors, including
Adobe Systems Incorporated and others with significantly greater resources and
name recognition than the Company; (ix) the possibility of increased
competition from Adobe, in particular; and (x) the difficulties and risks
associated with effective management of the Company's growth. In addition, the
market price of the Company's common stock could be subject to significant
fluctuations in response to quarter-to-quarter variations in the Company's
operating results, announcements of technological innovations or new products
by the Company or its competitors and other events or factors. Further, the
stock market in recent years has experienced extreme price and volume
fluctuations that have particularly affected the market price of the stock of
many technology companies. These fluctuations, as well as general economic and
market conditions, may materially and adversely affect the market price of the
Company's common stock. Because of these and other factors, past financial
performance should not be considered an indicator of future performance. Any
and all forward-looking statements contained herein represent the Company's
judgment as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the Company
cautions readers not to place undue reliance on such statements. Additional
information concerning certain risks and uncertainties that would cause actual
results to differ materially from those projected or suggested in the
forward-looking statements is contained in the Company's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, including those risks and uncertainties
discussed in the Company's annual report on form 10-K, dated September 29, 1997
and its Final Prospectus, dated September 26, 1996, in the section entitled
"Risk Factors." The forward-looking statements contained herein represent the
Company's judgment as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and
the Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on such statements.


OVERVIEW

      Xionics Document Technologies, Inc. designs, develops and markets
advanced embedded systems technology for use in mainstream office devices such
as printers, copiers, scanners and multifunction devices. The Company derives
its revenue primarily from sales of its printer software products, which
include revenue from software licenses, royalties, engineering services and
maintenance, and from sales of its image acceleration products. Software
license revenue consists of the Company's charges for licensed source code,
which may include initial non-refundable fees which are recognized as revenue
upon the shipment of the source code, provided there are no significant vendor
obligations. Royalty revenue is generally earned as a percentage of net revenue

<PAGE>

from unit sales by licensees of products that incorporate the Company's
software, and is generally recognized as earned in the Company's financial
statements in the quarter in which amounts due to the Company have been
determined using estimates based upon historical payments. Engineering services
revenue is derived from fees paid for porting of the Company's software to
customer-specific device controllers. Payments under maintenance contracts are
due at the beginning of the contract; however, revenue is recognized ratably
over the term of the contract which is typically twelve months.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FOR THE QUARTERS AND SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND DECEMBER 31, 1996

      Net revenue for the three months ended December 31, 1997 decreased 8% to
$8.7 million compared to $9.5 million for the three months ended December 31,
1996. Net revenue for the six months ended December 31, 1997, increased 1% to
$18.2 million compared to $17.9 million for the six months ended December 31,
1996. The decrease in the three month period resulted primarily from the effect
of changes in the competitive market conditions which resulted in reduced
license fees and the timing of certain software license agreements.

      Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 1997 decreased 19%
to $6.1 million from $7.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 1996.
Gross margin decreased to 70% for the three months ended December 31, 1997
compared to 79% for the three months ended December 31, 1996. Gross profit for
the six months ended December 31, 1997 decreased 8% to $13.1 million from $14.4
million for the six months ended December 31, 1996. Gross margin decreased to
72% for the six months ended December 31, 1997 compared to 80% for the six
months ended December 31, 1996. The decreases in both the three and six month
periods were attributable primarily to a changes in the revenue mix. This
included a higher proportion of revenue generated from non-recurring
engineering fees which are at a lower gross margin combined with a lower
proportion of software license fees and royalties which are at a higher gross
margin.

      Research and development expenses decreased by 2% to $3.7 million for the
three months ended December 31, 1997 from $3.8 million for the three months
ended December 31, 1996. Research and development expenses decreased by 4% to
$7.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 1997 from $7.3 million for
the six months ended December 31, 1996. Principally as a result of lower
revenue, research and development expenses increased to 42% of revenue for the
three months ended December 31, 1997 compared to 40% for the three months ended
December 31, 1996. Research and development expenses decreased to 39% for the
six months ended December 31, 1997 compared to 41% for the six months ended
December 31, 1996.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses remained relatively constant
at $2.3 million for both of the three month periods ended December 31, 1997 and
December 31, 1996 and at $4.6 million for both of the six month periods ended
December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996. Principally as the result of lower
revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 27% of
revenue for the three months ended December 31, 1997 compared to 24% for the
three months ended December 31, 1996. Selling, general and administrative
expenses were 25% of revenue for both of the six month periods ended December
31, 1997 and December 31, 1996.

      Charge for Purchased Research and Development. On August 13, 1997, the
Company completed the acquisition of Seaport Imaging (Seaport), San Jose, CA a
leading developer of image processing software and hardware for production
scanning and the document imaging market (the Seaport acquisition). The Company
acquired all the outstanding shares of Seaport in a $2.46 million transaction.
The Company paid $1.1 million in cash at closing and the balance is evidenced
by a promissory note. The Seaport acquisition resulted in a charge of $2
million for purchased in-process research and development cost. This amount
represents the value of acquired in-process research and development projects
as determined by an independent appraisal. The development of these projects
had not yet reached technological feasibility and the technology had no
alternative future use. The technology acquired in the Seaport acquisition has
required substantial additional development.

      Non-recurring charge. During the second quarter ended December 31, 1997,
the Company recorded a non-recurring charge of approximately $3.9 million.
Included in the charge is a write-down of intangible assets to net realizable
value of $3.0 million and a $.9 million provision for lease costs of excess
facilities. The Company determined that, due to changes in market conditions
related to certain products, certain intangible assets were impaired. Included
in the charge is a lease loss accrual of $.9 million which consists of costs
related to excess facilities at the Company's current facility in Burlington,
MA, and abandoned space at the Company's office in the United Kingdom.
<PAGE>

      During the three and six month periods ended December 31, 1997, interest
expense decreased by $17,967 and $83,425, or 93% and 98%, respectively,
compared to the three and six month periods ended December 31, 1996. This
decrease resulted primarily from the reduction in bank lines of credit and a
note payable to a shareholder, which were completely paid down by December 31,
1996. During the three month period ended December 31, 1997, interest income
decreased by $147,415, or 43%, compared to the three month period ended
December 31, 1996, primarily as a result of decreased cash balances. For the
six month period ended December 31, 1997, interest income increased by $80,168,
or 23%, compared to the six month period ended December 31, 1996, primarily
from increased cash balances as a result of receiving net proceeds from the
Company's September 26, 1996 initial public offering.

      The Company's effective income tax rate was 35% for the three and six
month periods ended December 31, 1997. The effective tax rate for the periods
differs from the statutory rate primarily as a result of the utilization of a
portion of net operating loss carry forwards and other tax preference items.
The Company's effective income tax rate was 20% for the three and six month
periods ended December 31, 1996. The effective tax rate for the periods differs
from the statutory rate primarily as a result of the utilization of a portion
of net operating loss carry forwards.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      At December 31, 1997, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $15.0
million compared to $20.8 million at June 30, 1997. This decrease is primarily
due to uses of cash for operating activities, computer equipment purchases, and
for the August 1997 acquisition of Seaport Imaging.

      At present, the Company has available a $4.0 million working capital
revolving line of credit and a $2.0 million term loan facility with a bank,
both of which are secured by substantially all assets of the Company. The
working capital line of credit terminates on December 1, 1998, and no term loan
will be made after December 1, 1998. Under the loan facilities, the Company is
required to comply with certain restrictive covenants, with which the Company
was in compliance as of December 31, 1997. The interest rate for the working
capital line of credit is the bank's prime rate; the interest for the term loan
facility is the bank's prime rate plus 0.5%. As of December 31, 1997, there
were no outstanding borrowings under the working capital line of credit and
term loan facility. Under the terms of the working capital and term loan
facilities, the Company is prohibited from declaring or paying dividends on its
Common Stock. While the Company may in the future use private placements or
public offerings of its securities as a source of liquidity, it has no present
intention to do so.

      The Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalent balances,
together with available borrowings under its lines of credit, will be
sufficient to finance the Company's operations for at least the next 12 months.
In the event the Company acquires one or more businesses or products, the
Company's capital requirements could increase substantially, and there can be
no assurance that additional capital will be available on terms acceptable to
the Company, if at all.
