1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      The condensed consolidated financial statements of Xionics Document
Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) presented herein have been
prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for
quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and

statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 1996,
included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (333-4613),
declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 26,
1996.

      The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes herein are
unaudited, but in the opinion of management, include all the adjustments
(consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly
the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of
the Company and its subsidiaries.

      The results of operations for the interim periods shown herein are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future interim
period or for the entire year.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the
application of certain accounting policies described in this and other notes to
these condensed consolidated financial statements.

(a)  Principles of Consolidation

3. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

      On September 24, 1996, The Company's Registration Statements on Form S-1
and 8-A were simultaneously declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission. On October 1, 1996, the Company completed an initial public
offering of 3,000,000 shares of its common stock at $12.00 per share. Of the
3,000,000 shares sold, 2,500,000 were sold by the Company and 500,000 were sold
by the selling stockholder, Phoenix Technologies Ltd. The Company received net
proceeds of approximately $27,900,000 after deducting the underwriters'
discounts and commissions. The Company has presented the pro forma balance
sheet as of September 30, 1996, which reflects certain adjustments for events
which occurred subsequent to September 30, 1996. Upon the closing of the
initial public offering, the Company paid the outstanding principal and accrued
interest of approximately $2,094,000 and $90,365 respectively, on the secured
promissory note to Phoenix Technologies Ltd. The Company also made a $300,000

transaction amounted to approximately $4,200,000 and will be reflected in the
Company's consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31,
1996.

              XIONICS DOCUMENT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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

     Except for the historical information contained herein, this quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q may contain 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. 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 certain risks and uncertainties, including, without
limitation, (i) the Company's relationship with Hewlett-Packard Company, to
whom 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
revenue upon the ability of its customers to develop and sell their own
products, which incorporate the Company's technology, to end users, and (iii)
the timely introduction of new products, such as the Company's embedded
technology for multifunction peripheral devices, and the market acceptance of
those products, in an extremely competitive and rapidly changing market where
the market success of entities providing embedded software products for paper
handling devices has historically been largely determined by their success in
becoming one of the industry standards. 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
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 release, 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 generally includes 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 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

      Net revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 1997, ended September 30,
1996, increased 111.1% to $8.4 million compared to $4.0 million for the first
quarter of fiscal 1996. The increase resulted primarily from growth in sales of
the Company's printer software products, including approximately $4.0 million
of revenue recognized under an amendment to its preexisting agreement with
Hewlett-Packard Company ("HP") which was entered into in March 1996 (the "HP
Agreement").

      Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 increased 142.8% to
$6.9 million from $2.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1996. Gross
margin increased to 81.5% for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to
70.9% for the first quarter of fiscal 1996. These increases were attributable
primarily to increased sales of higher margin Intelligent Peripheral System
("IPS") products and related engineering services, primarily related to the HP
Agreement, partially offset by a reduction in gross margin attributable to the
Company's image acceleration products.

      Research and development expenses increased by 79.5% to $3.5 million for
the first quarter of fiscal 1997 from $2.0 million in the first quarter of

<PAGE>

fiscal 1996. The higher expense level resulted primarily from increased
expenditures relating to the Company's multifunction peripheral technology,
which is currently in development, partially offset by a small reduction in
expenditures relating to the Company's image acceleration products. As a
percentage of revenue, research and development expenses decreased to 41.7% for
the first quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to 49.0% for the first quarter of
fiscal 1996. The decline in research and development expenses as a percentage
of revenue was principally the result of higher revenue.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 4.1% to $2.3
million for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 from $2.4 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 1996. The lower expense level resulted primarily from
decreases in advertising, trade show and travel expenses relating to the
Company's image acceleration products. As a percentage of revenue, selling,
general and administrative expenses decreased to 26.8% for the first quarter of
fiscal 1997 compared to 58.9% for the first quarter of fiscal 1996. In addition
to lower levels of expense for the comparable periods, the decline in selling,
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue was also
principally the result of higher revenue.

      Other expense, net decreased by 54.1% to $57,000 for the first quarter of
fiscal 1997 compared to $125,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1996. This
decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in interest expense.

      The Company did not provide for income taxes during the three months
ended September 30, 1995 due to the loss for the period and the expected loss
for fiscal 1996. The tax provision for the period ended September 30, 1996 was
calculated based on the Company's expected fiscal 1997 effective tax rate of 20
percent. The difference between the statutory rate and the effective rate
reflects the utilization of the Company's net operating loss carry forwards
which will be used to offset future taxes payable.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      At September 30, 1996, the Company had cash and short-term investments of
$1.3 million compared to $2.8 million at June 30, 1996. On a pro forma basis,
at September 30, 1996, the Company had cash and short-term investments of $26.8
million. Pro forma balances at September 30, 1996 include the effect of net
proceeds relating to the Company's September 26, 1996 initial public offering
which closed on October 1, 1996 less approximately $2.1 million in principal
amount and $90,000 of accrued interest payable on the secured promissory note
payable to Phoenix Technologies Ltd. In addition, the pro forma balance
includes a deduction for a $300,000 prepaid license fee payment made by the
Company to a third party.

      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, 1997, and no term loan
will be made after June 30, 1997. Each term loan under the term loan facility
is required to be repaid over 36 months from the date such term loan is funded.
Under the loan facilities, the Company is required to comply with certain
restrictive covenants, including debt to worth, capital base, quick ratio and
profitability. 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 September 30, 1996, the outstanding borrowings under the
working capital line of credit and term loan facility were $0 and $946,000,
respectively. Under the terms of the working capital and term loan facilities,
the Company is prohibited from declaring or paying dividends on its Common
Stock. The Company was in compliance with or had received a waiver of
non-compliance of all covenants of the working capital and term loan facilities
as of September 30, 1996. While the Company may in the future use private
placements of its securities as a source of liquidity, it has no present
intention to do so.

      The Company believes that the net proceeds of the initial public
offering, together with its existing cash and cash equivalent balances, funds
generated from operations and 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.
