NOTE C — Comprehensive Income

The components of comprehensive loss and income, net of related tax, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 were as follows:

NOTE D — Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), and related interpretations. The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123) as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure (SFAS 148). Pro forma net loss and income, and loss and earnings per share, determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of those Statements, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 were as follows:

NOTE E — Senior Credit Facilities and Convertible Subordinated Debt

Effective December 20, 2001, the Company entered into a bank credit agreement, secured by substantially all the assets of the Company. The credit facility, under the agreement as amended over its course, expired December 31, 2003, at which time payment was due in full for the balance outstanding of $11.9 million. At that date, the Company had not yet completed its negotiations for replacement financing and, as a result, did not repay the loan when due. On February 5, 2004, the Company refinanced its indebtedness to its prior lender by: (i) issuing at par $3.0 million of convertible subordinated notes that were accompanied by warrants to purchase Company Common Stock, and (ii) entering into new senior credit agreements between the Company and a new senior lender and between the Company’s Canadian subsidiary and a Canadian affiliate of the new lender to the Company.

8

The subordinated debt financing consisted of a private placement to an accredited investor of $3.0 million in 7% convertible subordinated notes (the Convertible Notes) and accompanying four-year warrants to purchase 515,625 shares of Company Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.51 per share (the Warrants). The Convertible Notes are immediately convertible to Company Common Stock at a conversion price of $3.20 per share, which would result in 937,500 shares being issued if all $3.0 million in principal of the Convertible Notes were converted at that conversion price. The Convertible Notes are junior to the senior credit facilities described below, bear interest at the rate of 7% per annum, payable quarterly in shares of Common Stock, and principal is due and payable in one lump sum in four years on February 4, 2008, unless earlier paid or converted. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in payment of interest is determined by dividing the monetary value of the accrued interest by the initial conversion price of $3.20 per common share, or 16,406 shares per quarter. Interest expense is recorded quarterly based on the fair value of the common shares issued. Accordingly, interest expense may fluctuate from quarter to quarter. The Convertible Notes are unsecured. The Warrants issued in connection with the Convertible Notes are exercisable anytime after August 5, 2004 and expire on February 4, 2008. The conversion price of the Convertible Notes and the exercise price of the Warrants are subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, dividends and in certain other circumstances affecting the capitalization of the Company. The relative fair value of the Warrants on February 5, 2004 was estimated to be approximately $562,000. Furthermore, the Convertible Notes contained a beneficial conversion feature representing an effective initial conversion price that was less than the fair value of the underlying Common Stock on February 5, 2004. The fair value of the beneficial conversion feature was estimated to be approximately $853,000. Both the relative fair value of the Warrants and the fair value of the beneficial conversion feature were recorded as an increase in additional paid-in capital and as original issue discount on the underlying debt. The total original issue discount of approximately $1.4 million will be amortized to interest expense over the four-year life of the Convertible Notes. Anytime after February 4, 2006, if the average closing price of the Company’s Common Stock has been above $7.00 per share for the preceding 15 trading days and certain other conditions are met, the Company may issue a notice to redeem the Convertible Notes. Holders of the Convertible Notes would then be required to either convert the Convertible Notes to Common Stock or accept payment of 120% of the outstanding unpaid principal.

As a part of the subordinated debt financing, the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the resale from time to time of the shares of Common Stock issuable as interest on the Convertible Notes, or upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes or exercise of the Warrants. The Company also amended its shareholder rights plan to permit the subordinated debt investors to beneficially own up to 25% of the Company’s Common Stock without being considered an “acquiring person” and triggering the distribution and exercisability of the rights afforded under the rights plan.

The Company’s senior debt financing had both a U.S. and Canadian component. The credit facility for the Company consisted of a secured three-year term loan of $114,000 and a secured three-year revolving credit facility of up to $8.5 million, subject to a borrowing base of accounts receivable and inventory and certain financial covenants. The related senior loan to the Company’s Canadian subsidiary consisted of a secured, three-year term loan of $1,042,000 and a secured three-year revolving credit facility of up to $4.0 million, subject to a borrowing base of inventory and certain financial covenants. The senior credit facilities total approximately $13.7 million, of which the Company and its Canadian subsidiary used about $8.1 million at the closing. These proceeds and proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Notes were used to pay off all indebtedness to the prior lender and to pay expenses related to the new senior and subordinated debt.

Availability under the senior credit facilities is based primarily on the Company’s accounts receivable and inventory levels, but also on compliance with certain covenants, one of which is a tangible net worth covenant requiring improved tangible net worth at specific measurement dates. The Company believes that the tangible net worth covenant is the most restrictive covenant due to its reliance on the improvement in the Company’s net income over the course of the fiscal year. It is the Company’s intent to meet this and all the covenants of the agreements, and the Company monitors prospective compliance with the bank covenants. If the Company determined that revenue shortfalls or other operating results indicate it may not meet the tangible net worth covenant or any other covenant, the Company will initiate expense reduction plans to achieve compliance with the covenants. The Company has developed specific plans to reduce certain expenses in the event of covenant non-compliance, and the plans include, but may not be limited to, reductions in research and development costs and personnel costs. The Company believes

9

that its plans to reduce expenses, if required to do so, will be sufficient in order to meet the covenants at all scheduled measurement dates through September 30, 2004. As of June 30, 2004, the Company is in compliance with all the covenants of the credit agreements.

As of June 30, 2004, indebtedness under the bank credit facilities was $8.1 million, outstanding at an estimated average annual interest rate of 4.3%. The weighted average interest rate on all of the Company’s debt was approximately 9% which gives effect to the bank credit facilities and the $3.0 million of 7% Convertible Notes. The interest expense on all debt includes both the amortization of the original issue discount of approximately $1.4 million over the four-year term of the Convertible Notes and the value of the Company’s Common Stock issued at the average market price of the stock over the interest period.

Note F — Restructuring Initiatives

In April 2002, the Company effected a workforce reduction, eliminating approximately 40 positions in the Canadian subsidiary. The total estimated cost of the restructuring of $875,000, comprised entirely of employee severance costs, was accounted for as a cost of acquisition in accordance with SFAS 141. The restructuring was completed by September 30, 2003, at approximately the original cost estimate.

In December 2002, the Company announced plans to consolidate its North American manufacturing and engineering operations at its Canadian subsidiary. The Company incurred approximately $1.1 million in restructuring expenses over the course of the consolidation, originally estimated at $1.2 million. These restructuring expenses were wholly comprised of employee severance costs unrelated to the acquisition of the Canadian subsidiary and, therefore, were properly charged to operating expense in fiscal 2003. As of December 31, 2003, all benefits under the restructuring had been paid.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Overview

The Company’s business is the design, manufacture, sale and servicing of advanced digital print production equipment based on its patented electron beam imaging (EBI) technology. The Company’s digital printing equipment includes both: (i) “roll-fed” or “web” equipment (the CR Series and RS Series) where the paper input is on rolls, and (ii) “cut-sheet” or “sheet-fed” printers and presses (the state-of-the art Imaggia II system and the Checktronic legacy system) that use pre-cut sheets of paper or base stock. The Company’s EBI technology allows extremely high speed production at high print quality.

The Company’s business has improved in fiscal 2004 compared with fiscal 2003. Although the Company was not profitable in the third quarter of fiscal 2004 (the three months ended June 30, 2004), it was profitable for the first nine months of the fiscal year. The third quarter loss was primarily driven by lower equipment sales, down by approximately 75% from equipment sales for each of the first and second quarters of the fiscal year. The Company attributes weak third quarter equipment sales to postponed purchase decisions, due in part to the Company’s introduction of its new CR2000 digital press at the Drupa 2004 trade show in Germany in May of this year. The CR2000 runs 50% faster than the CR1300 model, with superior print quality, and will be available for sale in the latter part of fourth quarter, fiscal 2004. Although the Company’s CR1300 and CR900 are fully field upgradeable to a CR2000, with respect to both speed and print quality, the Company believes that prospects deferred their purchase decisions until the new model is available.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition discusses the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the

10

disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and assumptions, including those related to inventory, income taxes, revenue recognition and restructuring initiatives. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Management believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Inventory

The Company reduces the stated value of its inventory for obsolescence or impairment in an amount equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated market value, based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual future demand or market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional reductions in stated value may be required.

Income Taxes

In determining the carrying value of the Company’s net deferred tax assets, the Company must assess the likelihood of sufficient future taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions, based on estimates and assumptions, to realize the benefit of these assets. The Company has fully reserved its net deferred tax assets, totaling $2.9 million and $3.0 million as of June 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003, respectively, recognizing that the Company has incurred losses in four of the last five fiscal years, and there is no assurance that future years will be profitable. If these estimates and assumptions change in the future, the Company may record a reduction in the valuation allowance, resulting in an income tax benefit in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Management evaluates the realizability of the deferred tax assets and assesses the valuation allowance quarterly.

Revenue Recognition

Systems are tested at the Company’s facility prior to shipment, and revenue related to orders shipped under standard performance conditions is recognized when systems are shipped. Systems shipped subject to non-standard contractual performance conditions, such as financing approval, are recognized as revenue upon completion or attainment of the specified condition. Service revenue is recognized as services are rendered. For spare parts, supplies and consumable items stored at customer sites, revenue is recognized when the customer uses the inventory. Amounts billed to customers under maintenance contracts are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized in income over the term of the maintenance agreement. Revenue on equipment manufactured by others is recorded on a gross basis. Freight revenue is recorded on a gross basis and recognized upon shipment. The related freight costs are recorded as a cost of sales.

Restructuring Initiatives

In April 2002, the Company effected a workforce reduction, eliminating approximately 40 positions in the Canadian subsidiary. In December 2002, the Company announced plans to consolidate its North American manufacturing and engineering operations at its Canadian subsidiary. As of December 31, 2003, the Company’s restructuring initiatives had been completed. See Note F to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth the Company’s Statements of Operations as a percentage of net sales and should be read in connection with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto presented elsewhere in this report.

Net Sales. The Company’s net sales consist of revenues from: (i) maintenance contracts, spare parts, supplies and consumable items, and (ii) sales of printing systems and related equipment. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2004 (third quarter of fiscal 2004), net sales were $12.6 million, down 15% from $14.8 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2003 (third quarter of fiscal 2003). For the nine months ended June 30, 2004, net sales were $41.5 million, down 7% from $44.5 million for the same period a year ago. The reduction in net sales for both the three- and nine-month periods was primarily due to lower sales of printing equipment in the third fiscal quarter.

Revenues from maintenance contracts, spare parts, supplies and consumable items were $12.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2004, compared with $12.2 million for the same quarter in fiscal 2003, down 2%. For the nine months ended June 30, 2004, revenues from maintenance contracts, spare parts, supplies and consumable items were $36.4 million, down 1% from $36.6 million for the year earlier period. Quarterly revenues from maintenance contracts, spare parts, supplies and consumable items for fiscal 2004 have ranged between $12.3 million and $12.0 million. The Company does not anticipate that fourth quarter revenues from maintenance contracts, spare parts, supplies and consumable will diverge significantly from previous levels.

The Company’s printing systems primarily consist of the CR Series, the RS Series, the Imaggia, the Checktronic and the Foliotronic product lines. The CR Series and RS Series products are the Company’s roll-fed duplex digital presses. The Imaggia is the Company’s cut-sheet simplex digital press. The Checktronic and Foliotronic are the Company’s legacy products. The Checktronic is now sold principally as a system upgrade or refurbished product in

12

Latin America, Asia and Africa. The Foliotronic is still actively marketed to customers with folio production applications.

Revenues from the sale of printing equipment were $600,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2004, down 77% from $2.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2003. For the first nine months of fiscal 2004, revenues from the sale of printing equipment were $5.1 million, down 35% from printing equipment revenues of $7.9 million for the same period in fiscal 2003. The decrease in revenues from printing equipment for the third quarter of fiscal 2004, compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2003, was due to lower sales of all products. For the nine months ended June 30, 2004, compared with the nine months ended June 30, 2003, significantly lower sales of legacy products and Imaggia, were partially offset by higher sales of roll-fed products.

Gross Margin. The Company’s gross margin percentages for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004 were 58% and 56%, respectively, compared with 52% for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2003. The gross margins for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2004 were higher than for the year earlier periods primarily due to lower sales of printing equipment. In addition, margins for the three and nine mo
