Item 3.  Incorporation of Documents By Reference.
         ----------------------------------------

         The following documents filed by TRM Copy Centers Corporation (the
"Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission are incorporated herein
by reference:

         (a) The Company's latest annual report filed pursuant to Section 13(a)
or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or the latest prospectus filed
pursuant to rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933 that contains audited
financial statements for the Company's latest fiscal year for which such
statements have been filed.

         (b) All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 since the end of the fiscal year covered by the
annual report or prospectus referred to in (a) above.

         (c) The description of the authorized capital stock of the Company
contained in the Company's registration statement filed under section 12 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including any amendment or report filed for the
purpose of updating the description.

         All reports and other documents subsequently filed by the Company
pursuant to sections 13(a) and (c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which
indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters
all securities remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference
herein and to be a part hereof from the date of the filing of such reports and
documents.

Item 4.  Description of Securities.
         --------------------------

         Not Applicable.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
         ---------------------------------------

         Not Applicable.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
         ------------------------------------------

         Article VII of the Company's Articles of Incorporation provides for
indemnification of directors and officers to the full extent and under the
circumstances permitted by the Oregon Business Corporation Act. The Bylaws
contain similar indemnification provisions. The effects of the Articles, Bylaws
and the Oregon Business Corporation Act (the "Indemnification Provisions") are
summarized as follows:

         (a) The Indemnification Provisions grant a right of indemnification in
respect of any action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the
right of the Company) against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments,
fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred, if the
person concerned acted in good faith and in a manner the person


                                      II-1
<PAGE>
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company, was not adjudged liable on the basis of receipt of an improper personal
benefit and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had not
reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. The termination of an
action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or plea
of nolo contendere does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did
not meet the required standards of conduct.

         (b) The Indemnification Provisions grant a right of indemnification in
respect of any action or suit by or in the right of the Company against the
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred if the
person concerned acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, except
that no right of indemnification will be granted if the person is adjudged to be
liable to the Company.

         (c) Every person who has been wholly successful on the merits of a
controversy described in (a) or (b) above is entitled to indemnification as a
matter of right.

         (d) Because the limits of permissible indemnification under Oregon law
are not clearly defined, the Indemnification Provisions may provide
indemnification broader than that described in (a) and (b).

         Article VIII, part (c) of the Company's Bylaws provides that the
Company will advance to a director or officer the expenses incurred in defending
any action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition if the
director or officer affirms in good faith that he or she has met the standard of
conduct to be entitled to indemnification as described in (a) or (b) above and
undertakes to repay any amount advanced if it is determined that the person did
not meet the required standard of conduct.

         The Company's Articles and Bylaws provide that the Company may also
indemnify its employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by law.

         The Company may obtain insurance for the protection of its directors
and officers against any liability asserted against them in their official
capacities.

         The rights of indemnification described above are not exclusive of any
other rights of indemnification to which the persons indemnified may be entitled
under any bylaw, agreement, statute, policy of insurance, vote of shareholders
or Board of Directors or otherwise.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the
Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that
in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is
therefore unenforceable.

Item 7.  Exemption From Registration Claimed.
         ------------------------------------

Item 9.  Undertakings.

         (a)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

               (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
         made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

                    (i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3)
               of the Securities Act of 1933;

                    (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
               arising after the effective date of the registration statement
               (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
               individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
               in the information set forth in the registration statement;

                    (iii) To include any material information with respect to
               the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
               registration statement or any material change to such information
               in the registration statement;

         PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not
apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant
pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

               (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
         Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
         deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
         offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
         be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

               (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
         amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at
         the termination of the offering.

                                      II-3
<PAGE>
         (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

         (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 3.  Incorporation of Documents By Reference.
         ----------------------------------------

         The following documents filed by TRM Copy Centers Corporation (the
"Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission are incorporated herein
by reference:

         (a) The Company's latest annual report filed pursuant to Section 13(a)
or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or the latest prospectus filed
pursuant to rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933 that contains audited

         (b) All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 since the end of the fiscal year covered by the
annual report or prospectus referred to in (a) above.

         (c) The description of the authorized capital stock of the Company
contained in the Company's registration statement filed under section 12 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including any amendment or report filed for the
purpose of updating the description.

         All reports and other documents subsequently filed by the Company
pursuant to sections 13(a) and (c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which
indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters
all securities remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference
herein and to be a part hereof from the date of the filing of such reports and
documents.

Item 4.  Description of Securities.
         --------------------------

         Not Applicable.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
         ---------------------------------------

         Not Applicable.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
         ------------------------------------------

         Article VII of the Company's Articles of Incorporation provides for
indemnification of directors and officers to the full extent and under the
circumstances permitted by the Oregon Business Corporation Act. The Bylaws
contain similar indemnification provisions. The effects of the Articles, Bylaws
and the Oregon Business Corporation Act (the "Indemnification Provisions") are
summarized as follows:

         (a) The Indemnification Provisions grant a right of indemnification in
respect of any action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the
right of the Company) against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments,
fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred, if the
person concerned acted in good faith and in a manner the person

                                      II-1
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company, was not adjudged liable on the basis of receipt of an improper personal
benefit and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had not
reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. The termination of an
action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or plea
of nolo contendere does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did
not meet the required standards of conduct.

         (b) The Indemnification Provisions grant a right of indemnification in
respect of any action or suit by or in the right of the Company against the
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred if the
person concerned acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, except
that no right of indemnification will be granted if the person is adjudged to be
liable to the Company.

         (c) Every person who has been wholly successful on the merits of a
controversy described in (a) or (b) above is entitled to indemnification as a
matter of right.

         (d) Because the limits of permissible indemnification under Oregon law
are not clearly defined, the Indemnification Provisions may provide
indemnification broader than that described in (a) and (b).

         Article VIII, part (c) of the Company's Bylaws provides that the
Company will advance to a director or officer the expenses incurred in defending
any action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition if the
director or officer affirms in good faith that he or she has met the standard of
conduct to be entitled to indemnification as described in (a) or (b) above and
undertakes to repay any amount advanced if it is determined that the person did
not meet the required standard of conduct.

         The Company's Articles and Bylaws provide that the Company may also
indemnify its employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by law.

         The Company may obtain insurance for the protection of its directors
and officers against any liability asserted against them in their official
capacities.

         The rights of indemnification described above are not exclusive of any
other rights of indemnification to which the persons indemnified may be entitled
under any bylaw, agreement, statute, policy of insurance, vote of shareholders
or Board of Directors or otherwise.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the
Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that
in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is
therefore unenforceable.

Item 7.  Exemption From Registration Claimed.
         ------------------------------------

Item 9.  Undertakings.

         (a)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

               (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
         made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

                    (i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3)
               of the Securities Act of 1933;

                    (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
               arising after the effective date of the registration statement
               (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
               individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
               in the information set forth in the registration statement;

                    (iii) To include any material information with respect to
               the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
               registration statement or any material change to such information
               in the registration statement;

         PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not
apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant
pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

               (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
         Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
         deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
         offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
         be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

               (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
         amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at
         the termination of the offering.

                                      II-3
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

         (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
