REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Plan Administrator of
   the Lexmark Savings Plan
Lexington, Kentucky

We have audited the  accompanying  statements  of net assets  available for plan
benefits of the Lexmark  Savings  Plan (the  "Plan") as of December 31, 1997 and
1996,  and the related  statements  of changes in net assets  available for plan
benefits  for  the  years  then  ended.  These  financial   statements  are  the
responsibility  of the Plan's  management.  Our  responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits as of December
31, 1997 and 1996 and the changes in net assets  available for plan benefits for
the  years  then  ended  in  conformity  with  generally   accepted   accounting
principles.

Our audits  were  performed  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held
for investment purposes as of December 31, 1997 and reportable  transactions for
the year ended  December 31, 1997  included on pages 17 through 19 are presented
for the purpose of additional  analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial   statements  but  are  supplementary   information  required  by  the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations  for Reporting and Disclosure  under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental  schedules
have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic
financial  statements  and, in our  opinion,  are fairly  stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    Plan Description:

      The Plan is subject to the  provisions of the Employee  Retirement  Income
      Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").  The following  description of the Lexmark
      Savings Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information.

      (a) General
          -------

          The Plan is a  defined  contribution  plan  that  covers  all  regular
          full-time employees of the U.S.  subsidiaries of Lexmark International
          Group,  Inc. (the  "Company").  To be eligible to  participate  in the
          Plan,  employees  must  have  one  year and  1,000  hours of  service.
          Effective  January 1, 1998,  employees are eligible to  participate on
          the day one hour of service is performed.

          The Plan was amended and restated on July 1, 1997. Significant changes
          to the Plan have been  disclosed  herein.  Effective July 1, 1997, the
          trustee was changed  from  Bankers  Trust  Company  (the  "predecessor
          trustee")  to  Fidelity   Management  Trust  Company  (the  "successor
          trustee").  The  Plan  assets  held by the  predecessor  trustee  were
          invested  by the  successor  trustee  into  the  following  investment
          options:


            Bankers Trust Company          Fidelity Management Trust Company
            ---------------------          ---------------------------------
              Money Market Fund              Fidelity Retirement Government
                                                  Money Market Portfolio
          Large Company Index Fund             Fidelity Equity Income Fund
          Small Company Index Fund            Fidelity Low-Priced Stock Fund
            Balanced Asset Fund                 Fidelity Freedom 2000 Fund
          International Index Fund       Fidelity Diversified International Fund

          The  successor  trustee  offers  additional   investment  funds  which
          include:  Fidelity Growth & Income  Portfolio,  Fidelity  Intermediate
          Bond Fund, Fidelity Contrafund, Fidelity Freedom Income Fund, Fidelity
          Freedom 2010 Fund,  Fidelity Freedom 2020 Fund,  Fidelity Freedom 2030
          Fund and Spartan U.S. Equity Index Fund.

          Record  keeping  responsibilities  for the Lexmark  Stock Fund and the
          Dwight Fixed Income Fund were also  transferred  from the  predecessor
          trustee to the successor  trustee;  however,  invested assets remained
          consistent at the time of transfer.

       (b) Investment Funds
           ----------------

            Prior to July 1, 1997, the Plan's participant-directed  options were
            as follows:  Money Market, Large Company Index, Small Company Index,
            Balanced  Asset,  International  Index,  Dwight  Fixed  Income,  and
            Lexmark  Stock  Funds.  The Money Market Fund was  represented  by a
            diversified  portfolio  of  high-quality,  short-term  money  market
            securities  whose return follows current market interest rates.  The
            Large Company  Index Fund was  represented  principally  by a common
            trust  fund  comprised  of  investments  in common  stocks  that are
            expected to produce results that  approximate the performance of the
            Standard  & Poor's  500  Index.  The Small  Company  Index  Fund was
            represented  principally  by  investments  in common stocks that are
            expected to produce results that  approximate the performance of the
            medium and small-company common stocks generally not included in the
            Standard & Poor's 500 Index. The Balanced Asset Fund was represented
            by a  diversified  portfolio  of  stocks,  bonds,  and money  market
            instruments.   The   International   Index   Fund  was   represented
            principally   by  securities  in  major  stock  markets  in  Europe,
            Australia,  Latin  America  and  the  Far  East  to  provide  growth
            potential and diversification.  The Dwight Fixed Income Fund was and
            continues  to be a  stable  value,  commingled  pool of  money  with
            Company employees that invests in high quality investment  contracts
            offered by major  insurance  companies and other approved  financial
            institutions  and  short-term  investments  to provide for liquidity
            needs.  The Lexmark  Stock Fund was and continues to be a commingled
            pool of money with  Company  employees  that buys  shares of Lexmark
            Class A common stock with a small amount of  short-term  investments
            to provide for liquidity needs.

            Effective  July 1,  1997,  the  Plan's  active  participant-directed
            options are as follows:
            The Fidelity Retirement Government Money Market Portfolio is a money
            market fund that invests in high  quality,  short-term  money market
            securities  of  the  U.S.  Treasury  and  government  agencies.  The
            Fidelity  Equity-Income Fund is a growth and income mutual fund that
            invests primarily in income-producing stocks, but may also invest in
            bonds for income.  The  Fidelity  Low-Priced  Stock Fund is a growth
            mutual fund that invests  primarily in stocks of companies  that the
            fund's  manager  believes are  undervalued or out of favor and could
            offer  the  potential  for  significant  capital  appreciation.  The
            Fidelity Diversified International Fund is an international,  growth
            mutual  fund  that  invests   primarily  in  stocks  of   relatively
            undervalued  larger  companies  located  outside  the U.S.  that are
            included in the Morgan  Stanley EAFE Index.  The  Fidelity  Growth &
            Income  Portfolio  is a growth and income  mutual fund that  invests
            mainly in U.S.  and foreign  stocks of  companies  currently  paying
            dividends and carrying the potential for increased earnings, but may
            also  invest in bonds.  The  Fidelity  Intermediate  Bond Fund is an
            income  mutual  fund that  invests in all types of  investment-grade
            bonds, including foreign, U.S. government and corporate issues, with

            intermediate maturities.  The Fidelity Contrafund is a growth mutual
            fund that invests  primarily in U.S.  and foreign  common  stocks of
            unpopular companies that the fund's manager believes are undervalued
            or out of favor.  The Fidelity  Freedom  Funds are asset  allocation
            mutual  funds  investing  in other  Fidelity  stock,  bond and money
            market mutual funds.  The allocation  strategy for each Freedom Fund
            with a target  retirement date is based on the number of years until
            anticipated retirement, gradually adopting a more conservative asset
            allocation over time. The Freedom Income Fund,  however, is designed
            for those already in retirement.  The Spartan U.S. Equity Index Fund
            is a growth and income fund that invests  primarily in the companies
            that  comprise the S&P 500 Index.  The Dwight Fixed Income Fund is a
            stable value,  commingled pool of money with Company  employees that
            invests  in high  quality  investment  contracts  offered  by  major
            insurance  companies and other approved  financial  institutions and
            short-term  investments to provide for liquidity  needs. The Lexmark
            Stock Fund is a commingled pool of money with Company employees that
            buys shares of Lexmark  Class A common  stock with a small amount of
            short-term investments to provide for liquidity needs.


            The number of  participants in each fund as of December 31, 1997 and
            1996 is as follows:

1.     Plan Description, continued:

        (c) Contributions
            -------------

            The Plan is funded by voluntary employee pre-tax contributions up to
            a maximum of 12% of total annual  eligible  compensation.  Effective
            January 1, 1998, the maximum voluntary pre-tax  contribution is 20%.
            The contributions  for a participant are made by payroll  deductions
            and are determined  each pay period by multiplying  the  participant
            contribution  rate then in effect by his/her  eligible  compensation
            for such period.

            A  participant  can designate  and change the  proportions  in which
            his/her pretax  contributions  are allocated among the Plan's active
            investment funds.  Prior to July 1, 1997, the minimum  allocation to
            each fund was 5%. Effective July 1, 1997, the minimum  allocation to
            each Fund is 1%.

            The Company matches employee pretax contributions in an amount equal
            to 30% of up to  the  first  5% the  employee  contributes  per  pay
            period.  Matching  contributions are invested in the same investment
            funds and in the same  proportions as designated by the participant.
            However,  the  participant  can  elect to have all or a  portion  of
            matching contributions invested in the Lexmark Stock Fund.

            The Company contributes an additional  matching  contribution if the
            Company  achieves  certain  business  results each fiscal year, with
            payout,  if any, as soon as practicable  in the following  year. The
            additional matching contribution is allocated to a participant based
            on his/her aggregate  contributions to the Plan for that year and is
            invested in the Lexmark Stock Fund. A  participant  is not permitted
            to transfer amounts  attributable to such allocation,  including any
            earnings thereon,  from the Lexmark Stock Fund to another investment
            fund. An additional matching contribution of $533,378 and $1,074,147
            for 1997 and 1996,  respectively,  has been accrued in the financial
            statements.

       (d)  Allocations to Participants
            ---------------------------

            Prior to July 1, 1997,  contributions  and earnings of the Plan were
            allocated  to the  accounts of the  participants  on a  semi-monthly
            basis. Each participant's  value in the net assets of the investment
            funds was based upon the  assignment  of units.  The number of units
            and the net asset  value per unit in the  funds as of  December  31,
            1996 is as follows:

1.     Plan Description, continued:
       (d)  Allocations to Participants, continued
            ---------------------------

            Effective July 1, 1997,  contributions continue to be allocated on a
            semi-monthly basis and earnings are allocated to the accounts of the
            participants on a daily basis.  The investment fund options provided
            by the  successor  trustee are mutual funds that do not assign units
            for  contributions and earnings  allocation,  except for the Lexmark
            Stock Fund,  which has 2,114,495 units with a $12.49 net asset value
            per unit as of December 31, 1997.

       (e)  Vesting
            -------

            Employees who were eligible to participate in the Plan prior to July
            1,  1994  vest  immediately  in  their  contributions  and  matching
            contributions  made on their behalf by the Company.  Employees hired
            on or after July 1, 1994 and who were not  participants  in the Plan
            as of June 30, 1995 become  fully  vested in the  employer  matching
            contributions  upon completing  five years of continuous  service or
            upon death,  disability or attainment of normal retirement age as an
            employee, whichever occurs first.

       (f)  Withdrawals
            -----------

            A  participant  who has attained age 59 1/2 may withdraw in cash all
            or part of his/her contributions and matching contributions provided
            that a  participant  may make only one such  withdrawal  in any Plan
            year.

            Hardship  withdrawals  are available  according to provisions of the
            Plan if  approved by the Plan  administrator  but are limited to the
            value  of the  participant's  contributions  and  the  participant's
            immediate  financial need.  Earnings and matching  contributions are
            not eligible for hardship  withdrawals.  After receipt of a hardship
            withdrawal, a participant is suspended for twelve months from making
            contributions to the Plan.

            In the case of a partial  withdrawal  made by a participant  with an
            interest in more than one investment fund, the amount withdrawn from
            each of the participant's investment funds is in the same proportion
            as the value of his/her interest in each investment fund.

       (g)  Distributions
            -------------

            In the event of  normal  retirement  or  permanent  disability,  and
            provided  the  value of the  participant's  account  is in excess of
            $3,500  ($5,000,  effective  January 1, 1998),  the  participant may
            elect one of two  options or may defer  either  election  to a later
            date.  The  two  options  available  are  (1)  receive  a  lump  sum
            distribution   or  (2)   receive  a   specified   number  of  annual
            installments, over a period of generally up to ten years.

            In the event that a  participant  dies before the balance of his/her
            account  has been  distributed,  the  remaining  balance  of his/her
            account shall be distributed to the participant's beneficiaries in a
            lump sum distribution.

1.     Plan Description, continued:

       (g)  Distributions, continued
            -------------

            Upon termination of employment for any reason other than retirement,
            permanent  disability,  or death, and the value of the participant's
            account  is in excess  of (or at the time of any prior  distribution
            was in excess of) $3,500 ($5,000,  effective  January 1, 1998),  the
            participant  may  elect  one of two  options  or  may  defer  either
            election to a later date. The two options  available are (1) receive
            a lump sum  distribution or (2) receive a specified number of annual
            installments, over a period of generally up to ten years.

            If upon a participant's  normal  retirement,  permanent  disability,
            death,   or   termination   of  employment  and  the  value  of  the
            participant's account in not in excess of $3,500 ($5,000,  effective
            January  1,  1998),   such   participant   receives   an   immediate
            distribution.

            Distributions   are  generally  cash   distributions;   however,   a
            participant   who  is  entitled  to  a  distribution   and  who  has
            investments in whole or in part in the Lexmark Stock Fund may elect,
            in writing,  to have the value of his/her  investment in the Lexmark
            Stock Fund  distributed  in whole  shares of the  Company's  Class A
            common stock. Fractional shares are distributed in cash.

       (h)  Participant Loans
            -----------------

            Participants may borrow funds from their Plan account subject to the
            provisions of the Plan. A participant  is eligible to have up to two
            outstanding  loans  at a given  time and may  borrow  up to half the
            value of his/her Plan account  (including any current loan balance),
            but no more than  $50,000  less  his/her  highest  outstanding  loan
            balance during the preceding  12-month period.  No loan will be made
            while any other loan is in default. An administrative fee is charged
            for  the   origination   of  the  loan  and  is  deducted  from  the
            participant's   account  in   proportion   to  the  funds  held  for
            investment.  Loans are granted for a minimum  term of one year,  and
            thereafter  in monthly  increments  up to a maximum  of five  years;
            however, the participant may pre-pay the loan at any time. Each loan
            bears a fixed rate of interest  determined  at the  inception of the
            loan by the plan  administrator  based upon comparable rates offered
            by commercial  lending  institutions,  prime plus 1.5% for the years
            ended  December  31,  1997  and  1996.  Payment  of the loan is made
            through payroll  deductions.  Payments of principal and interest are
            allocated to the investment funds elected for current contributions.
            A  participant  may continue to  contribute to the Plan while he/she
            has  an  outstanding  loan  balance,  provided  the  loan  is not in
            default.

       (i)  Forfeitures
            -----------

            Any  portion  of  a  participant's  account  balance  in  which  the
            participant is not vested upon termination  constitutes a forfeiture
            at the time the  participant  receives  a  distribution  unless  the
            participant  has no vested  interest  in which case such  forfeiture
            occurs at his/her termination of employment.  Forfeitures  occurring
            in a Plan year are  applied  equally on a per  participant  basis to
            reduce  administrative fees that would otherwise be assessed against
            the   participant's   account  or  may  be   utilized  by  the  Plan
            administrator,   if  certain  criteria  are  satisfied,  to  restore
            forfeited amounts of previously  terminated  employees  returning to
            the Plan. Any remaining  forfeitures are remitted to the Company and
            customarily applied against its matching contribution obligation.

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

       The following are significant accounting policies followed by the Plan:

       (a)  Valuation of Investments
            ------------------------

            Shares in common  trust  funds are  stated at fair  market  value as
            quoted.

            Investments in guaranteed  investment contracts (GICs) are stated at
            contract  value,  which  represents  deposits  received and interest
            earned at guaranteed rates. The fair market value of these contracts
            approximates  the contract value at December 31, 1997 and 1996. Fair
            market  value is  determined  by  discounting  the  contracts  using
            current  market rates.  A penalty or  adjustment  may be imposed for
            early withdrawal or termination of certain GICs.

            The Plan enters into arrangements  known as synthetic GICs which are
            investment  contracts  that simulate the  performance of traditional
            GICs through the use of financial instruments.  The Plan purchases a
            security   such  as  a  government   security,   private  or  public
            mortgage-backed  or other  asset-backed  security  or an  investment
            grade  corporation  obligation  which is held in trust for the Plan.
            The Plan then enters into a benefit  responsive  "wrapper"  contract
            with a third-party  such as a financial  institution or an insurance
            company  which  guarantees  the Plan a  specific  value  and rate of
            return for the security held in trust. The underlying  security held
            in trust and the  wrapper  contract  are  presented  together in the
            financial  statements at contract  value.  The contract value of the
            synthetic  GICs  approximates  the fair market value  (determined by
            discounting  the  contracts  using  current  market  rates)  of  the
            contracts at December 31, 1997 and 1996.

            The Lexmark  Class A common  stock is stated at fair market value as
            quoted by the New York Stock Exchange.

            Participant loans are stated at cost which  approximates fair market
            value.

  2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

       (a)  Valuation of Investments, continued
            ------------------------

            Fair market  value of  investments,  as quoted,  is based on various
            factors  including  the current  interest rate  environment  and the
            general  strength of the  economy.  Changes in the fair market value
            could significantly  affect the Plan's net assets available for plan
            benefits.

       (b)  Net Appreciation (Depreciation)
            -------------------------------

            The  Plan  presents  in the  statement  of  changes  in  net  assets
            available for Plan benefits the net appreciation  (depreciation)  in
            the fair value of its  investments  which  consists of the  realized
            gains or losses and the unrealized  appreciation  (depreciation)  on
            those investments.

       (c)  Distributions to Withdrawing Participants
            -----------------------------------------

            Distributions to withdrawing participants are recorded when paid.

       (d)  Use of Estimates
            ----------------

            The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
            accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
            and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts of assets and
            liabilities  and disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities at
            the dates of the financial  statements and the changes in net assets
            available for Plan benefits  during the  reporting  periods.  Actual
            results could differ from those estimates.

4.     Administrative Expenses:

       Expenses for  administration of the Plan are paid jointly by participants
       and the Company.  Participants pay an annual  participant fee;  operating
       and management  fees of the investment  funds;  and any applicable  loan,
       distribution and withdrawal fees. All other fees are paid by forfeitures,
       to  the  extent  available,   and  thereafter  by  the  Company.  Certain
       administrative  services  are  provided  at no  cost  to the  Plan by the
       Company.

5.     Income Tax Status:

       The Plan qualifies within the meaning of Section 401(a) and 401(k) of the
       Internal Revenue Code of 1986, (the "Code"), as amended, and the trust is
       exempt from tax under  Section  501(a) of the Code.  The Plan was amended
       and  restated  effective  July 1,  1997,  and has  received  a  favorable
       determination letter dated January 28, 1998 in which the Internal Revenue
       Service stated that the Plan and related trust are in compliance with the
       applicable requirements of the Code.

       Participants  will not be subject to income tax  withholding for deferred
       compensation, unless required by state or local authority.

       A  participant  will not be  subject to  federal  income tax on  employer
       contributions made to a participant's  account,  or on income accruing to
       the account, until distribution or withdrawal of the account, in whole or
       in part.

6.     Plan Termination:

       The Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its  contribution
       at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions set forth
       in ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100%
       vested in their  accounts  and the Plan  assets  will be  distributed  in
       accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

7.     Concentration of Credit Risk:

       Plan assets are invested in various  financial  instruments  that contain
       some degree of credit risk.  There is a  concentration  of credit risk as
       11% of Plan  assets are  invested in Lexmark  Class A common  stock as of
       December 31, 1997.

8.     Fund Information

       Net assets available for benefits and changes in net assets available for
