REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Savings Plan Administrative Committee of
Hunt Manufacturing Co.:
We have audited the combined financial statements of
the Hunt Manufacturing Co. Savings Plan as listed in Item 14 on
pages 2 and 3. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Savings Plan Administrative Committee. 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 misstate-
ment. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial state-
ments. An audit also includes assessing the accounting princi-
ples used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the Hunt Manufacturing Co. Savings Plan
financial statements listed in Item 14 on pages 2 and 3 present
fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position
of the Hunt Manufacturing Co. Savings Plan as of December 31,
1993 and 1992, and the combined results of their operations for
the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991 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
Fund Information in the statement of financial condition and the
statement of income and changes plan equity is presented for
purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the
financial condition and income and changes in plan equity of each
fund. The Fund Information has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial state-
ments and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

_______
1. Description of Plan:

Plan (Plan) provides only general information. Participants

accounts for each participant. The Plan is designed to comply
with the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA) and with the requirements of
Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (Code).
Eligibility and Participation:
Generally, all active associates (i. e., employees including
officers) of Hunt Manufacturing Co. (Company) and of any other
participating company, other than leased employees, non-resident
aliens, associates who work in full-time, temporary positions as
part of an undergraduate or graduate degree program, college
students enrolled in a degree program or high school graduates
matriculating in a degree programs who assume temporary employment
with a participating company during the summer months, associates
who are hired for a specific length of time of no more than 18
consecutive months, associates who are covered by a collective
bargaining agreement to which the Company or any participating

1. Description of Plan, continued:
Contributions:
Contributions to the Plan are made by the Company and other
participating companies on their own behalf, and in the case of
Associate Pre-Tax Contributions, on behalf of the participants whose
salaries have been reduced. Subject to the limitations of the Plan and
the Code, participants may authorize the Company and other
participating companies to withhold each year up to 15% (prior to
January 1, 1993 the limit was 10%) of their annual pre-tax compensation
(i. e., compensation excluding taxable employee benefits of any kind
but including Associate Pre-Tax Contributions and participant salary
reduction contributions to a cafeteria plan under Section 125 of the
Code) for Associate Pre-Tax Contributions to the Plan but not to exceed
$8,994, as adjusted ($9,240 for 1994). The Company, and other
participating companies, in turn, will make Matching Contributions on
behalf of participants equal to $.25 for each $1.00 of Associate Pre-
Tax Contributions up to 6% of the participant's pre-tax compensation
for each year subject to the limitations of the Plan and the Code.
The Company also may make an annual Basic Contribution of up to 1% of
the base rate of pay (90% of the base rate of pay of salesmen, 100% of
the base rate of pay for other associates) on behalf of eligible
associates, except for certain officers and directors, whether or not
such associates make contributions to the Plan. The associate's base
rate of pay is the associate's annual compensation determined as of
June 1 of any plan year, excluding overtime, bonuses, cash awards and
stock awards under the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan, and taxable
employee benefits of any kind but including Associate Pre-Tax
Contributions and participant salary reduction contributions to a
cafeteria plan under Section 125 of the Code. In no event may the
annual compensation of any participant taken into account under the
Plan exceed $235,840 ($150,000 effective January 1, 1994) as adjusted.
Such Basic Contributions can only be invested in the Stock Fund and are
nontransferable to other funds. In order to receive a Basic
Contribution for a given plan year, a participant must be employed by a
participating company on December 1 of such plan year.
Associate Pre-Tax Contributions are contributed to the Plan within 30
days following the pay period or 30 days following the end of the plan
year for which such contributions are being made, whichever is earlier,
and Matching Contributions and Basic Contributions are contributed to
the Plan no later than the due date, including any extensions, for the
filing of the Company's federal tax return for the taxable year which
includes the last day of the plan year for which such contributions are
being made. Participants may also make rollover contributions to the
Plan of qualifying distributions from other qualified plans.
Vesting:
A participant's Associate Pre-Tax Contributions (and the earnings
thereon) and Basic Contributions (and the earnings thereon) are always
100% vested and nonforfeitable.

1. Description of Plan, continued:
Vesting, continued:
If, while in the service of the Company or any other participating
company, a participant attains age 65, becomes permanently and
totally disabled, or dies, the full value of the Matching
Contributions (and the earnings less any losses thereon) allocated
to such participant's accounts becomes vested in the participant
(or in such participant's successor in the event of death) and is
nonforfeitable. Prior to the occurrence of such an event, the
value of the Matching Contributions (and the earnings less any
losses thereon) will vest in a participant, based on such
participant's years of service for vesting (years in which a
participant completes 1,000 or more hours of service commencing
with the date of hire), as indicated in the following table:
Less than 1 year 0%
1 year 20%
2 years 40%
3 years 60%
4 years 80%
5 years or more 100%
If a participant terminates employment for reasons other than
death, total disability or retirement, the person is not fully
vested and the present value of his or her vested account balance
does not exceed $3,500, or if it does exceed $3,500, his or her
vested account balance is distributed to such separated
participant, the participant forfeits the nonvested balance in his
or her account upon distribution of his or her entire vested
account balance. In such case, if the participant is re-employed,
he or she may repay the amount distributed to him or her before he
or she incurs five consecutive one-year breaks in service, and his
or her account will be restored. If the terminated participant's
vested account balance exceeds $3,500 and such participant does
not consent to the immediate distribution of his or her vested
account balance, the participant tentatively forfeits the
nonvested balance upon his or her separation from service. If the
participant is re-employed before incurring five consecutive one-
year breaks in service, his or her account will be restored.
Withdrawals and Distributions:
Distributions are made according to the vested interest to which
participants are entitled upon retirement, termination, death or
disability. Upon retirement, the participant's vested interest
will be distributed in one lump sum payment, in cash, unless the
participant elects to receive that portion invested in the Stock
Fund in whole shares of common stock or in any combination of
stock and cash. A participant may also withdraw any portion of
his or her vested account balances after he or she attains age
59-1/2. Otherwise, withdrawals before termination of employment
are allowed only in cases of hardship as determined in accordance
with the terms of the Plan.

1. Description of Plan, continued:
Disposition of Forfeitures:
Forfeitures of Matching Contributions resulting from the
termination of participants with less than fully vested
rights under the Plan shall be applied to restore forfeitures
and then to reduce Matching Contributions to the Plan.
Plan Amendment and 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. In the
event of Plan termination, the net assets of the Plan will be
distributed to Plan participants and beneficiaries in
proportion to their respective account balances, which will
be fully vested as a result of such termination. The Company
may also amend the Plan at any time, subject to certain
restrictions.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Investment Valuation:
The common stock of Hunt Manufacturing Co. is stated at fair
value, which represents the closing price of the stock as
listed on the New York Stock Exchange on the last trading day
of the plan year. Investments in the Twentieth Century
Investors, Inc., Balanced, Bankers Trust Pyramid GIC, Select,
and Ultra Funds are stated at the unit value published as of
the end of the plan year. The Blended GIC Trust at
December 31, 1993 and Fixed Income Fund at December 31, 1992
includes Guaranteed Investment Contracts which are stated at
cost plus accrued interest. Based on available information
at December 31, 1993 and 1992, the Company believes that the
fair value of the Guaranteed Investment Contracts are not
significantly different from cost plus accrued interest.
Investments in the Equity Fund are stated at the unit value
published by the fund as of the end of the plan year.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued:
Investment Income:
Dividend income is recorded on the ex dividend date. Income
from other investments is recorded as earned on the accrual
basis.
Purchases and sales of securities are reflected on a trade-
date basis. Gain or loss on sales of securities is based on
average cost.
The Plan presents in the statements of income and changes in equity
the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair market value
of its investments which consists of the realized gains or
losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on
those investments.
Plan Expenses:
Administrative expenses of the Plan and brokerage fees
relating to purchases within the Stock Fund are paid by the
Company.
3. Investment Program:
Contributions to the Plan are invested, as directed by the
participants, in the following funds as described below:
(1) Balanced Fund - a fund that uses common stocks and
fixed income securities to provide growth opportunities
as well as income. The Fund has approximately 60% of
its assets in growth stocks and the remainder in fixed
income securities. The fixed income portion of the
fund is invested in a diversified portfolio of
investment-grade bonds with an average weighted
portfolio maturity of three to ten years.
(2) Blended GIC Trust - is a fixed income fund made up of
two different parts. The first part consists of
individual Guaranteed Investment Contracts (GIC's)
previously purchased by the plan. The second part
consists of all new investments which are made in the
Bankers Trust Pyramid GIC Fund. The Bankers Trust
Pyramid GIC Fund invests primarily in guaranteed
investment contracts issued by major financial
institutions,including banks and life insurance
companies.

3. Investment Program, continued:
The Blended GIC Trust is a conservative fixed income
fund in which principal is protected from market vola-
tility. By retaining the individual GIC's and invest-
ing in the Bankers Trust Pyramid GIC Fund, the Blended
GIC Trust attempts to provide yields that are higher
than money market funds and certificates of deposit, as
well as to provide a relatively predictable annual
return. The annual interest rates are as follows:
Net Effective
Time of Deposit Annual Interest Rate
--------------- --------------------
Funds deposited during 1993 Principally,
7.42% to 9.10%
through 1994
(3) Select Fund - a fund that invests only in stocks that
pay dividends. Securities are chosen primarily for
their growth potential, however, and return from in-
vestment income may not be significant.
(4) Ultra Fund - a fund that seeks capital growth over
time by investing in companies with accelerating
growth trends.
(5) Stock Fund - a fund consisting of common stock of
Hunt Manufacturing Co. purchased in the open market,
or directly from the Company.
(6) Fixed Income Fund - a fund consisting of Guaranteed
Investment Contracts with the John Hancock Mutual
Life Insurance Company, the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company, the New England Mutual Life
Insurance Company and the Sun Life Insurance Company
of America (1991) under which an annual fixed rate of
interest is paid, net of administrative expenses, for
a specified period of time in accordance with the
terms of the agreement. The fixed annual interest
rates are as follows:
Net Effective
Time of Deposit Annual Interest Rate
--------------- --------------------
Funds deposited during 1992 5.81% through 1992
Funds deposited during 1991 8.74% through 1992
Funds deposited during 1990 8.35% through 1992
Funds deposited during 1989 8.96% through 1991

3. Investment Program, continued:
(7) Equity Fund - a fund consisting primarily of invest-
ments in common and preferred stocks.
There were 1,354 and 1,348 Plan participants at December 31,
1993 and 1992, respectively, who participated in one or more
of the investment funds. At December 31, 1993 and 1992, the
number of participants selecting each of the investment funds
for their contributions was as follows:
1993 1992
---- ----
Stock Fund 1,233 1,255
Capital Preservation Fund 626 -
Balanced Fund 382 -
Select Fund 602 -
Ultra Fund 559 -
Fixed Income Fund - 953
Equity Fund - 349
4. Participant Loans:
Participants who are members of the Seal Bargaining unit may
borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a
maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of their
account balance. Loan transactions are treated as a transfer
to (from) the investment fund from (to) the Participant Loans
fund.
The period of repayment usually does not exceed five years.
However, a loan used for the purpose of acquiring the
principal residence of the Participant may exceed five years.
Loans are required to be repaid in equal periodic
installments of principal and interest, payable no less
frequently than quarterly during each twelve-month period
beginning with the date of the loan and each anniversary.
Loans are required to be collateralized by an assignment of a
portion of the participant's interest in his accrued benefit
attributable to employer contributions equal to the principal
amount of the loan, and supported by the participant's
secured promissory note. The Plan Administrator determines
the interest rate on the basis of prevailing interest rates.
Participant loans mature June 4, 1994 to July 15, 1996 and
bear interest at 7% to 11% at December 31, 1993.

5. Tax Status:
The Plan obtained its latest determination from the Internal
Revenue Service by letter dated September 15, 1988, in which
the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, in form,
was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code. The plan has been amended since
receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan's tax
counsel believes that the Plan, in form, complies with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, as currently in
effect, and the Plan administrator believes that the Plan,
both in form and operation, is 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.
6. Guaranteed Investment Contracts:
The cost and fair value of Guaranteed Investment Contracts
held by the Plan at December 31, 1993 and 1992 are as
follows:
