Explanation of Responses:
1. May 14, 2007, Quipp, Inc. ("Quipp") issued 9,779 shares of its common stock to John F. Connors III pursuant to a $150,000 contingent consideration provision in the Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 10, 2005, among Quipp, John F. Connors III and Terence B. Connors (the "Purchase Agreement") in connection with the acquisition by Quipp of Newstec, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation ("Newstec"). The shares were issued after Newstec recognized the required minimum amount of revenues from a specified contract.
2. For purposes of computing the number of shares to be delivered, the price per share of the Quipp common stock ($7.67 per share) was based on the average of the closing prices of Quipp common stock during a period of 20 consecutive trading days ending on December 20, 2006. In accordance with the Purchase Agreement, Quipp issued an aggregate of 19,557 shares of Quipp common stock in payment of the $150,000 contingent consideration, including the 9,779 shares of common stock issued to John F. Connors III.
