PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

As of August 1997, TRM Copy Centers Corporation owned and maintained nearly
35,000 self-service photocopiers in retail establishments such as pharmacies,
stationery stores, hardware stores and gift shops in 73 metropolitan areas: 50
in the U.S., five in Canada, 15 in the U.K, two in France and one in Belgium.
TRM installs, maintains and supplies its photocopiers and regularly monitors
their usage. Each retail business collects payment from its customers, shares in
the revenue generated by the Copy Center and benefits from any increase in
walk-in traffic. The Company invoices and collects payment from each retailer
monthly.

Each Copy Center consists of a photocopier, a machine stand and advertising
signs. Copy Centers are identifiable by the Company's trapezoidal yellow and
black "TRM Copies" signs.

TRM became the leading provider in self-service photocopying in many of the
metropolitan areas it serves by focusing on service and convenience. The Company
strives to conveniently locate high numbers of TRM Centers throughout its
service areas. Operations by geographic area are presented in Note 12 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report to Shareholders.

The Company services its TRM Centers and provides all necessary supplies.
The retail business supplies space and electrical power for the TRM Center and
supervises its use. Consumers report the number of uses of the TRM Center to the
retail business cashier, who collects payment. Each month, the retail business
keeps a percentage of the TRM Center's revenue, which generally is based on a
sliding scale related to usage, as recorded by the TRM Center's tamper-proof
internal counter, and remits the remainder to TRM.

All accounting, training, purchasing, billing and collection functions, as
well as coordination of customer service, are centralized in the Company's
offices in Portland, Oregon. Generally, the only personnel outside the Portland
offices are service and sales personnel. TRM minimizes costs by buying large
quantities of new photocopiers, by rebuilding used photocopiers and by centrally
purchasing large quantities of parts, paper and toner. The Company believes that
its centralized operating systems and standardized operating procedures enable
it to efficiently open new geographies and to install and service thousands of
TRM Centers.

The Company is an Oregon corporation formed in 1982. From the end of fiscal
1992 through June 30, 1997, TRM opened operations in 18 U.S., three Canadian, 15
U.K., two French and one Belgian metropolitan areas.

As used in this Annual Report, the terms "the Company" and "TRM" refer to
TRM Copy Centers Corporation and its subsidiaries, unless the context requires
otherwise.

Locations

Historically, TRM has focused its sales efforts on a small retail
businesses. During fiscal year 1997 and going forward, the Company is expanding
its corporate chain selling program to better address the retail industry as it
continues to consolidate. The installed customer base is diversified such that
no retail business accounts for a significant portion of revenues or profits.
Further, TRM has diversified geographically to avoid dependence on one or more
market areas. The Company does not believe that the presence of significant
competition in any single geographic market would have a material adverse effect
on the Company.

As of June 30, 1997 the Company has established a local Service Center in
51 major metropolitan areas. Each of these Service Centers consists of leased
premises generally staffed by a service manager and one or more service
technicians and salespeople. TRM locates its Service Centers in sites convenient
to the TRM Centers. Service Centers include a small warehouse for the storage of
photocopiers, other components, spare parts, paper and toner. Eighteen of the
most recently opened metropolitan areas (called "satellites") were opened with
resources from existing Service Centers nearby and do not have stand-alone
facilities. Further, the Company also has three small Service Centers where the
service manager is the only technician. These small Service Centers are based in
the managers' homes.

Expansion

TRM installed 9,233 additional TRM Centers, net of replacements and
removals, from July 1, 1994 to June 30, 1997. In addition to installing 3,077
net TRM Centers in fiscal 1997, the Company focused on improving the profit

2

performance of the installed base of machines. During fiscal 1998, the Company
plans to add between 3,000 and 4,000 additional TRM Centers in existing market
areas and in new areas, and to continue to actively manage its installed base.

The Company's planned expansion will require an increase in the number of
installed photocopiers, Service Centers, service technicians, salespeople and
customers. TRM uses both new and used photocopiers to fulfill the requirements
of its expansion strategy. As of July 31, 1997, TRM had over 3,000 uninstalled
photocopiers in its system (see "Photocopiers"), which along with the purchase
of new machines are slotted for its expansion. The Company is purchasing new
machines to use in high-volume, independent and chain locations (see discussion
of NextGen under "New Products and Services Under Development"). The Company
will open a new Service Center in each new geographic market as it is justified.
The service technicians needed for the planned expansion will be trained at
TRM's Technology Center in Portland. TRM sells the TRM Center concept to retail
businesses through sales lead generation programs and local door-to-door
solicitation using independent and Company sales representatives and service
technicians. The Company is increasing its corporate sales efforts directed
toward regional and country-wide retail chains.

The Company has a program called "service selling" in selected North
American cities. The program trains and rewards service technicians to sell the
TRM program in their service areas. Field sales responsibilities and field
operations are grouped together under the Chief Operating Officer. This allows
for the sharing of management teams across the expanse of North America and for
a coordinated effort to grow market share in established cities, particularly in
North America.

In actively managing the profit performance of the installed base,
under-performing machines are removed and put back into stock to be redeployed
at site which offer greater profit potential. Machines that are under-priced for
the supporting copy volume are repriced to higher levels. During fiscal 1996 and
1997, machines were relocated and copy prices were raised at thousands of
locations.

The Company intends to continue to focus on its core photocopy business
with controlled growth from new and existing U.S. market areas, international
expansion and new products and services that can be delivered to its core
customer base and similar consumers.

New Products and Services Under Development

The Company is positioned to add other products or services to further
optimize the use of its in-place network of sales, service, distribution and
support as well as its growing installed customer base. Although sales generated
from additional products currently represent less than 5% of the total sales,
the Company is actively testing multiple new products and services.

During 1997, the Company concluded a twenty-month effort to select a new
technology black and white copier ("NextGen") for further unit growth. NextGen
is an important element in TRM's core programs for high-volume, independent
retailer locations and larger retail chains. TRM's existing base of installed
copy machines will continue to be used for the majority of convenience copying
locations.

Additional investments were made during 1997 in designing an add-on
electronic and receipt printing module for the Company's photocopiers, which
allows for stepped volume pricing (e.g., the first copy for 10(cent), copies 2-5
for 7(cent), etc.) . Market testing began during fiscal 1997 and is expected to
continue in fiscal 1998. Also in 1997, the Company expanded its initial test of
retailer-serviced coin-operated convenience copying with large format chain
stores, where TRM's service quality and worldwide infrastructure is a key
advantage, but where host cashiering is not a desired benefit. The Company also
expanded its initial trial for marketing prepaid telephone cards (to our base of
retailers).

TRM's intent is to invest in developing and market testing these and other
new products and services to identify those that clearly deserve to become
country or system-wide offerings. TRM has had in place about 400 full-color
copiers since 1992. While the Company does not intend to expand the number of
Color Copy Centers during fiscal 1998, it is possible that the color program
will be expanded at some point in the future.

Competition

A person seeking photocopy services has a variety of alternatives to a TRM
Center. These alternatives include specialty full-service business centers and
copy and print shops, coin-operated photocopiers and other photocopiers located
within retail shops. Each of these alternatives may to some extent compete with
the Company. The Company does not attempt to compete directly with most
alternative suppliers of photocopy services. Instead, the Company seeks to
distinguish itself by blanketing its service areas with large numbers of
convenient photocopiers and by providing high quality service to those
locations.

3

Full-service business centers and copy and print shops generally serve a
market more interested in high volume and sophisticated copying than in
convenience of location.

Coin-operated photocopiers are sometimes located in smaller retail
establishments similar to TRM's locations. While these coin-operated
photocopiers provide an alternative to Copy Centers, the Company believes that
they do not pose a significant competitive threat to the majority of TRM's
retailers. As indicated under the caption "New Products and Services Under
Development," the Company is testing coin-operated copying with major large
format chains and retail stores, which have not been targeted by TRM up to the
present time.

The Company is aware of several self-service non-coin-operated photocopier
businesses using the retail business concept. To the Company's knowledge, each
is limited to a relatively small geographic market and a relatively small number
of photocopiers. Because of barriers to entry in the Company's business, such as
developing operating systems, establishing sources of supply and achieving
economies of scale, the Company does not believe any of these competitors
currently represents a significant threat.

Personal copiers provide a substitute for Copy Centers. While these
photocopiers have been on the market for a number of years, the Company does not
believe that they have had a significant adverse effect on its business. The
Company is unable to predict whether a technological or price breakthrough might
increase sales of personal copiers and reduce demand for the Company's copy
services.

Computers with printers allow convenient production of multiple copies. The
Company does not believe that computer printing will have a significant adverse
effect on its Copy Center business. At present, computer duplicating is
primarily used only for a document which is electronically resident on that
particular computer and not for other paper originals. Both computer printers
and personal copiers currently have per copy costs to the user which are similar
to or higher than TRM's retail copy prices so they are not, in general, a lower
cost alternative.

Quarterly Seasonality

Historically, the Company has experienced slightly higher than average
production per TRM Center in its third and fourth fiscal quarters and slightly
lower than average production per TRM Center in its first fiscal quarter.

Photocopiers

As of August 1997, TRM owned more than 38,000 new and used photocopiers.
Nearly 35,000 of these photocopiers were revenue-producing Copy Centers in the
field. Generally, new photocopiers are shipped direct from the manufacturer to a
TRM Service Center. Used photocopiers are generally rebuilt at the Company's
rebuilding facility in Portland, Oregon. The Company expects to continue to use
both new and used photocopiers to expand its black and white copying business.

Supply

To date in North America, the Company has primarily used two similar
discontinued models of used photocopiers originally manufactured by Ricoh
Company, Ltd. and its affiliates. TRM bought these photocopiers from photocopier
brokers and dealers. These two models of black and white photocopiers have not
been manufactured since 1979 and 1982. During fiscal 1993, TRM developed a
supply relationship with Mita Copystar America, Inc. (Mita), for black and white
photocopiers and related products in North America. The resulting arrangement,
as updated, contains no commitment to purchase any specific number of
photocopiers. Subsequent to fiscal 1997 year end, the Company finalized an
agreement with a major manufacturer for new, state-of-the-art black and white
"NextGen" photocopiers in North America.

During fiscal 1992, the Company developed a supply relationship with Ricoh
Corporation (Ricoh) for full-color photocopiers and related products. TRM is not
currently adding to its inventory of full-color copiers. Ricoh ships related
products directly to the appropriate TRM Service Center as directed by the
Company. The Company will continue to monitor and evaluate models of full-color
photocopiers available for its use.

Also during fiscal 1992, a supply arrangement was entered into with Mita
Europe B.V. (Mita Europe) for black and white photocopiers and related products
in Europe. Under this arrangement, photocopiers and related products are shipped
from Mita Europe directly to the Company's European Service Centers. The Company
continues to monitor and evaluate supplies of new and used photocopiers in
Europe available for its use.

Few of TRM's photocopiers have ever become mechanically obsolete. Because
of their simplicity, the Company believes that its photocopiers are more
dependable than many other models.

4


Parts

The Company acquires a majority of the parts for its used photocopiers
directly from various parts fabricators. Many parts are built to TRM's
specifications. While TRM's strategy is to use multiple sources for its parts to
reduce dependence on single sources, some parts are purchased from single
sources. Temporary shortages, increased costs and quality control problems could
result if parts from a single or limited source became unavailable. Currently,
parts for the Mita photocopiers and the Ricoh full-color photocopiers are being
supplied primarily by the photocopier manufacturers. The Company will continue
to evaluate available sources of supply for parts.

Paper

Photocopy paper is purchased centrally by the Company's corporate offices
and then shipped directly from the mills to the Service Centers. A number of
paper companies are capable of producing the paper usable by the Company. The
Company believes that sufficient paper should be available to supply the
Company's expanding business.

Toner

The Company currently purchases liquid toner for its North American black
and white rebuilt photocopiers directly from two manufacturers. The Company has
confirmed that other acceptable sources are available and could obtain suitable
toner on reasonable terms from other manufacturers, although some start-up
delays could occur. Currently, toner for the Mita photocopiers and the Ricoh
full-color photocopiers is being supplied primarily by the photocopier
manufacturers. The Company will continue to evaluate available sources of supply
for toner.

Employees

As of June 30, 1997, the Company had approximately 667 employees, most of
whom were full-time. Approximately 419 are in field service, 189 are in sales,
marketing, customer service, purchasing, billing and administration, and 21 are
in training, production and warehouse functions. None of the Company's employees
are represented by unions. The Company believes it has good relations with its
employees. The Company currently engages about 38 independent contractors to
sell the TRM program.

Service Marks

Most Copy Centers are identified by distinctive yellow and black
trapezoidal signs bearing "TRM Copies" and "TRM Color Copies", and the program
price. In France and Belgium, the Company does business under the names of FPC
France Ltd. and FPC Belgium Limited, respectively. Most of TRM and FPC's signs
are registered service marks.

Copy Centers Investment Group, Ltd.

The Company serves as general partner of Copy Centers Investment Group,
Ltd., an Oregon limited partnership. The partnership was formed in 1983 to
acquire certain Copy Centers from the Company. The partnership owns 79 Copy
Centers in the states of Oregon and Washington. The Company receives a
management fee of 25% of the gross revenue from these 79 Copy Centers, plus $20
per month for each of the 79 locations for accounting and administrative
functions. The Company also owns a 1% interest in the profits and losses of the
partnership. The partnership will terminate December 31, 1998 according to the
partnership agreement. The partnership's operations do not constitute a material
part of the business of the Company.

Governmental Regulation

The Company is not subject to significant governmental regulation. Local
zoning and sign regulations occasionally prohibit a retail business from
displaying the "TRM Copies" sign on an exterior wall or window. Local zoning and
use restrictions may not allow opening a Copy Center in an otherwise desirable
retail business. The Company does not expect such restrictions to have a
material adverse effect on the Company's expansion plans.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 10-K includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
