INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


Board of Directors
Medical Graphics Corporation
Saint Paul, Minnesota

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Medical Graphics
Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan (the Plan) as of and for the year ended December
31, 1996, listed in the Table of Contents.  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 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
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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such 1996 financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31,
1996, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year then
ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic 1996
financial statements taken as a whole.  The 1996 supplemental schedules listed
in the Table of Contents 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 information by fund in the statement 
of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 
31, 1996 is presented for the purposes of additional analysis rather than to 
present the changes in net assets available for benefits of the individual 
funds. These supplemental schedules and supplemental information by fund are 
the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Such supplemental schedules and 
supplemental information by fund have been subjected to the auditing procedures 
applied in our audit of the basic 1996 financial statements and, in our opinion,
are fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the
basic 1996 financial statements taken as a whole.

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

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for plan
benefits of the Medical Graphics Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan as of December
31, 1995 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 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
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 audit 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 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 audit was 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 information by fund in the statement of changes in net assets 
available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1995 is presented for 
the purposes of additional analysis rather than to adress the changes in net 
assets available for benefits of the individual funds. The supplemental 
schedules and supplemental information by fund have been subjected to the 
auditing procedures applied in our 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.

MEDICAL GRAPHICS CORPORATION 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

    The following description of the Medical Graphics Corporation 401(k)
    Savings Plan (the Plan) provides only general information.  Participants
    should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the
    Plan's provisions.

    GENERAL - The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering substantially
    all employees of Medical Graphics Corporation (the Company) who have six
    months of service and are age 21 or older.  Medical Graphics Corporation,
    as the Plan Administrator, controls and manages the operation and
    administration of the Plan.  Certain members of Medical Graphics
    Corporation's management serve as the trustees of the Plan.  Benefits are
    funded through a qualified trust and a group annuity contract with
    Principal Mutual Life Insurance Company.  The Plan is subject to the
    provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

    CONTRIBUTIONS - Under the provisions of the Plan, a participant may
    contribute up to 17% of pretax annual compensation to his/her participant
    account up to the maximum amount determined by the Internal Revenue
    Service.  There is a provision in the Plan for matching and nonelective
    employer discretionary contributions.  The Company contributes 25% of the
    first 6% of base compensation that a participant contributes to the Plan.

    VESTING - Participants are immediately vested in their salary reduction
    contributions plus earnings thereon.  Vesting in the matching and
    nonelective discretionary contribution portion of their accounts plus
    actual earnings thereon is based on years of credited service.  A
    participant is 100% vested after five years of credited service, with
    staggered vesting percentages prior to that time.

    PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS - Each participant's account is credited with the
    participant's contributions and withdrawals, as applicable, and allocations
    of (a) Medical Graphics Corporation's contributions and (b) Plan earnings,
    and debited with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are
    based on participant earnings, as defined.  Forfeited balances of
    terminated participants' nonvested accounts are used to reduce future
    Medical Graphics Corporation contributions.  The benefit to which a
    participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the
    participant's account.

    INVESTMENT OPTIONS - A participant may direct employee and employer
    contributions to investment options as follows:

         KOPP INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO - Funds are invested primarily in the common
         stocks of emerging growth and large corporations.

         GUARANTEED INTEREST ACCOUNT - A guaranteed investment which invests
         mostly in private placement bonds, commercial mortgages, and
         residential mortgages.

         INTERNATIONAL STOCK ACCOUNT - A pooled investment account invested

         intermediate-term fixed-income loans.

         MEDICAL GRAPHICS CORPORATION COMMON STOCK FUND - Funds are invested in
         the common stock of Medical Graphics Corporation.

    Participants may change or transfer their investments options quarterly.

    LOANS TO PARTICIPANTS - Participants may borrow from their fund accounts
    the lesser of $50,000, or the greater of 50% of their account balance or
    $10,000.  Loan transactions are treated as a transfer between the
    investment fund and the loan fund.  Loan terms range from 1 to 5 years or
    up to 25 years for the purchase of a primary residence.  The loans are
    secured by the balance in the participant's account and bear interest at a
    rate commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined quarterly by
    the Plan administrator.  Principal and interest is paid ratably through
    monthly payroll deductions.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS - The investments of the Plan, other than the
    Guaranteed Interest Account, are stated at fair value based on closing
    sales prices reported on recognized securities exchanges on the last
    business day of the year, or for listed securities having no sales reported
    and for unlisted securities, upon the last reported bid prices on that
    date.  The Guaranteed Interest Account is valued at contract value plus
    annual interest.  The mutual funds are valued at quoted market prices which
    represent the net asset values of shares held by the Plan at year-end.

    VALUATION OF LOANS TO PARTICIPANTS - The loans to participants are valued
    at cost plus accrued interest which approximates fair value.

    EXPENSES - The Plan's expenses are paid from the assets of the Plan and
    allocated to the participant's accounts.

5.  PLAN TERMINATION

    Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, Medical Graphics
    Corporation has the right under the Plan to suspend employer matching
    contributions at any time or to terminate the Plan subject to the
    provisions set forth in ERISA.  Subsequent to year-end, the Company
    determined that in the future, matching and nonelective employer
    discretionary contributions shall be suspended.  In the event of any
    termination of the Plan, or upon complete or partial discontinuance of
    contributions, the accounts of each affected participant shall become fully
    vested and distributed to the respective participant.

6.  TAX STATUS

    The Plan obtained its latest determination letter dated July 27, 1993, in
    which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed,
    was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue
    Code.  The Plan has been amended since receiving this determination letter.
    Medical Graphics Corporation believes that the Plan is currently designed
    and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the
    Internal Revenue Code.  Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been
    included in the Plan's financial statements.
