                         Report of Independent Auditors


Board of Directors
Medical Graphics Corporation
Medical Graphics Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the Medical Graphics Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan as of December
31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statement of changes in net assets available
for plan benefits for the year ended December 31, 1995. 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 provides 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 of the Plan at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in its net assets available for plan
benefits for the year ended December 31, 1995, 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 accompanying supplemental schedules
of assets held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1995, and reportable
transactions for the year then ended, are presented for purposes of complying
with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and are
not a required part of the basic financial statements. The supplemental
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our 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.

                          Year ended December 31, 1995

1. PLAN DESCRIPTION

GENERAL

The Medical Graphics Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan (the Plan) was established
on October 1, 1986 and was subsequently restated on January 1, 1989 and July 1,
1991. The Plan is a contributory defined contribution plan covering
substantially all employees of Medical Graphics Corporation (the Company).

Each employee who elects to become a member of the Plan may authorize a
deduction of up to 17% of their gross earnings as contributions to the Plan. The
participant has the option of having the funds invested in equity, short-term
investment funds or a combination thereof. The Company matches 25% of the
employee contributions up to 6% of the employee's gross earnings.

Contributions are credited to the individual accounts of the participants.
Employee contributions are 100% vested at all times. Discretionary and employer-
matching contributions become 100% vested after five years of service, with
staggered vesting percentages prior to that time.

Information about the Plan Agreement, including vesting provisions, is contained
in the MEDICAL GRAPHICS CORPORATION 401(K) SAVINGS PLAN DESCRIPTION, which can
be obtained from the Company.

ADMINISTRATION

The Plan is sponsored and administered by the Company and is subject to the

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ACCOUNTING METHOD

The accounting records of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis.

INVESTMENT VALUATION

Investments are stated at current market value. Brokers' commissions incurred
upon the purchase of securities are included in the cost of the securities.
Securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last
reported sales price on the last day of the year.

Securities transactions are recognized on the trade date (date the order to buy
or sell is executed). Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and
interest income is accrued as earned. The cost of securities sold is determined
using the average cost method.

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of deposits in short-term investment
funds.


3. INVESTMENTS


The Plan's investments are held by its trustees. The current value of individual
investments that represent 5% or more of plan assets is as follows:

4. LOANS TO PARTICIPANTS

Under the Plan Agreement, a participant may borrow a portion of his or her
vested benefits from the Plan. The number of outstanding loans per participant
is limited to one. Loan amounts are limited to the lesser of:


     a)   $50,000, reduced by the highest outstanding loan balance of loans
          during the one-year period ending on the day before the new loan is
          made; or

     b)   The greater of 1) or 2), reduced by 3) below:

          1)   1/2 of the Participant's Vested Account
          2)   $10,000
          3)   Any outstanding loan balance on the date the new loan is made

and are collateralized by the Participant's Vested Account.

As of December 31, 1995, $59,794 of loans are outstanding bearing interest
ranging from 7.00% to 8.75% annually and payable from 2 1/2 to 5 years.

5. PLAN TERMINATION

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right to
terminate the Plan at any time. Upon termination, all amounts in participants'
accounts will be 100% vested.

6. FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that the Plan qualifies under Section
401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and is, therefore, not subject to tax
under present income tax laws.

The most recent determination by the Internal Revenue Service that the Plan is a
qualified plan under the Internal Revenue Code is dated July 27, 1993. Once
qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the IRC to
maintain its qualification. The Pension Administrative Committee is not aware of
any course of action or series of events that have occurred that might adversely
affect the Plan's qualified status.
