                       ---------------------------------

May 13, 1997

To the Participants and Administrator of the
Wesley Jessen Puerto Rico Savings Plan


In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets available for benefits and
the related statements of changes in assets available for benefits present
fairly, in all material respects, the assets available for benefits of the
Wesley Jessen Puerto Rico Savings Plan (the "Plan") at December 31, 1996 and
1995, and the changes in assets available for benefits for the year ended
December 31, 1996 and for the period from July 1, 1995 to December 31, 1995, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. 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 of these statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The additional information included in
Schedules I and II is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a
required part of the basic financial statements but is additional information
required by ERISA.  The Fund Information in the statements of assets available
for benefits and the statements of change in assets available for benefits is
presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the assets
available for plan benefits and changes in assets available for benefits of each
fund.  Schedules I and II and the Fund Information have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audits 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
                         -----------------------------

                                        
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN:
- -----------------------------

The following description of the Wesley Jessen Puerto Rico Savings Plan (the
"Plan") provides only general information.  Participants should refer to the
Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

General
- -------

The Plan became effective July 1, 1995 as a defined contribution plan covering
all full-time employees of Wesley-Jessen (Puerto Rico), Inc. (the "Company").
It is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974 ("ERISA").

Contributions
- -------------

Participants may contribute up to 10 percent of their pretax annual base
compensation, to a maximum of $7,500 for taxable year 1996 ($7,000 for taxable
year 1995).  Beginning on January 1, 1996, the Company contributes 50 percent of
the first 6 percent that a participant contributes to the Plan.  The Plan did
not provide for Company contributions in 1995.

Participant accounts
- --------------------

Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution and
allocation of (a) the Company's contribution and (b) Plan earnings.  Allocations
are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined.  The benefit
to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the
participant's account.

Vesting
- -------

Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual earnings
thereon.  Vesting in the remainder of their account is based on years of
continuous service.  A participant is 100 percent vested after four years of
credited service.  Former employees of Schering-Plough Products, Inc. are vested
100 percent after three years of credited service.  Forfeitures are used to
reduce Company's contributions.
                 
                                       6

Investment Options
- ------------------

Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct contributions in any of
the following seven investments options:

     Vanguard Wellington Fund - Funds are invested 60 to 70 percent in equity
     shares and 30 to 40 percent in high quality bonds.

     Vanguard Windsor Fund - Funds are invested in equity shares of 80 specific
     companies.

     Vanguard Explorer Fund - Funds are invested in shares of approximately 250
     small USA companies.

     Vanguard Short-Term Corporate Bond Fund - Funds are invested in high
     quality bonds of approximately 180 privately owned companies.

     Vanguard Index 500 Portfolio Fund - Funds are invested in equity shares of
     the 500 more important USA companies.

     Vanguard Treasury Money Market Portfolio Fund - Funds are invested in
     short-term investments guaranteed by the USA government.
     
     Vanguard International Growth Portfolio Fund - Funds are invested in equity
     shares of approximately 200 companies located in 30 countries worldwide.

Participants may change their investment options quarterly.

Participant Loans
- -----------------

Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a maximum amount equal to the
lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of their account vested balance.  Loan
transactions are treated as a transfer to (from) the investment funds from (to)
the Participant Loans Fund.  Loan terms are for a period not exceeding 5 years.
Loans used to acquire a principal residence shall provide for repayment over a
reasonable period of time that may exceed 5 years.

The loans are secured by the vested balance in the participant's account and
bear interest at a rate determined by the Plan administrator at the time of the
loan.  Interest rates range from 8 percent to 10 percent.  Principal and
interest is paid ratably through monthly payroll deductions.

                                       7

Payment of Benefits
- -------------------

On termination of service due to death, disability or retirement, a participant
may elect to receive either a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the
participant's vested interest in his or her account, or installments not
exceeding the life expectancy of the participant or beneficiary.  For
termination of service due to other reasons, a participant may receive the value
of the vested interest in his or her account as a lump-sum distribution.

Forfeited Accounts
- ------------------

At December 31, 1996, forfeited nonvested accounts amounted to approximately
$1,000.

Administrative expenses
- -----------------------

Certain expenses relating to the Plan, including administrative fees, are paid
by the Company.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
- ----------------------------------------------------

The Plan's financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires the use of management's estimates.  The following
are the most significant accounting policies followed by the Plan.

Investments
- -----------

Plan investments are stated at fair value.  Shares of registered investment
companies are valued at the quoted net asset value (redemption value) of the
respective investment company determined by Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company.
Participant loans are valued at cost which approximates fair value.

Contributions
- -------------

Employee contributions are recorded in the period during which the Company makes
payroll deductions from the Plan participants' earnings.  Matching Company
contributions are recorded in the same period.

NOTE 4 - PLAN TERMINATION:
- --------------------------

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right
under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the
Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.  In the event of Plan termination,
participants will become 100 percent vested in their accounts.

NOTE 5 - INCOME TAX:
- --------------------

The Company has filed a petition with the Government of Puerto Rico to qualify
the Plan under Sections 1165(a) and 1165(e) of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue
Code.  The Plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is
currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code, therefore, no income taxes have been provided in the
financial statements.

NOTE 6 - TRANSFER OF ASSETS:
- ----------------------------

On July 1, 1995, the Plan received a transfer of assets amounting to
approximately $712,000 from the Schering-Plough Puerto Rico Employees'
Retirement Savings Plan, a plan sponsored by the previous owner of the Company.
