     1.  BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

         The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements
         of Maxwell Communications Italia S.p.A and its subsidiaries
         (collectively, the "Company" or  MCI ) are unaudited.  In the
         opinion of management, all adjustments and intercompany
         eliminations necessary for a fair presentation of the results
         of operations have be made and were of a normal recurring
         nature.

         The Company together with its subsidiaries, produces and
         distributes stickers, cards, sticker albums and self-adhesive
         paper in Italy and abroad.  The production process is
         concentrated in Italy.  The Company is 100% owned by Panini
         Publishing International S.A. (PPI"), a Luxembourg company.

         On September 8, 1992 all of the Company's capital stock was
         acquired by PPI.  The accompanying financial statements have
         been prepared following accounting principles generally
         accepted in the United States.  The acquisition was accounted
         for using the purchase method of accounting.  The purchase
         price was allocated to the assets and liabilities of the
         Company based on their fair value at the acquisition date.

         These interim condensed consolidated financial statements
         should be read in conjunction with the MAY 31, 1994
         consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto
         contained of the Company s.
