Board of Directors
Columbia Graphics Corporation


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Columbia Graphics Corporation
as of December 31, 1998 and the related statements of income and retained
earnings and cash flows for the year then ended.  These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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

management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Columbia Graphics Corporation

   straight-line and declining-balance methods based on estimated service lives.
   Leasehold costs are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated asset life
   or the lease term.  Depreciation of property and equipment has been
   classified as part of cost of goods sold in these financial statements.

   Years of life generally used in determining annual depreciation are:

     Machinery and equipment                            5 - 10 years
     Furniture and fixtures                             3 -  7 years
     Building and leasehold improvements               10 - 39 years

5. Use of Estimates
   ----------------

   In preparing the Company's financial statements, management is required to
   make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
   liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
   of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and
   expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
   estimates.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

  The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet
presents the pro forma consolidated financial position of Master Graphics, Inc.
and subsidiary (the Company) giving effect to the acquisition of Columbia
Graphics Corporation (Columbia) in March 1999 and the financing thereof as if
such transaction had occurred on December 31, 1998.

  The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of
operations presents the pro forma consolidated results of operations of the
Company giving effect to the acquisition of Columbia, as if such transaction had
occurred on January 1, 1998.

  The pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet has been derived from the
historical balance sheets of the Company and Columbia as of December 31, 1998;
the pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended
December 31, 1998 has been derived from the historical 1998 statements of
operations of the Company and Columbia.

  The acquisition has been accounted for in the pro forma condensed consolidated
financial statements using the purchase method of accounting. The total purchase
cost has been allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based upon their
estimated fair values on the effective date of the acquisition. Such allocation
is based on studies, not all of which have been finalized. Accordingly, the
effect of the allocation of the purchase cost on the pro forma balance sheet,
and the related effect on pro forma results of operations, is preliminary. The
final values assigned may differ from those set forth herein; however, it is not
expected that the final allocation of purchase costs will differ materially from
those set forth herein.

  The pro forma data presented herein do not purport to represent what the
Company's financial position or results of operations would have been had the
acquisition of Columbia in fact occurred on such dates or to project the
Company's results of operations for any future period.

4. Pro Forma Earnings Per Share

  Basic earnings per share ("EPS") are computed by dividing net earnings less
the preferred stock dividend requirement and discount accretion by the weighted-
average number of common shares outstanding (4,000,000 in 1998 prior to the
initial offering of the Company's common stock in June 1998 (the Initial
Offering)); plus 3,400,000 shares issued by the Company in the Initial Offering
in June 1998; plus 266,664 shares issued to a warrant holder in April, 1998
(200,000 shares of which were sold in the Initial Offering), and plus 213,333
shares issued in connection with the Company's acquisition of Golden Rule
Printing in September 1998.

  Diluted EPS are computed assuming the conversion or exercise of dilutive
potential equity instruments. In the calculation of pro forma Diluted EPS,
conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock is not assumed because of its
antidilutive effect. Exercise of the option effect of the deferred compensation
contracts is not assumed in the pro forma calculation because the effect would
have been antidilutive. Exercise of employee stock options is not assumed
because the effect, using the treasury stock method, would have been
antidilutive.
