                         Report of Independent Auditors

Board of Directors
Prince Holding Corporation

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Prince Holding
Corporation (principally comprised of the automotive interior components and
systems business of Prince Holding Corporation) as of September 30, 1996 and
1995, and the related combined statements of shareholders' equity, operations
and cash flows for the years 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 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 provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the combined financial position of Prince Holding
Corporation at September 30, 1996 and 1995, and the combined results of its
operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                     Notes to Combined Financial Statements

                          September 30, 1996 and 1995


NOTE A--BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

On October 1, 1996, Johnson Controls, Inc. purchased all of the Class A and B
common stock of Prince Holding Corporation, and acquired its automotive
interior components and systems business and certain of its other assets and
liabilities (collectively "the Company" or "the Business") for a stated amount
of approximately $1,350,000,000, less assumed debt and other liability
adjustments.

In connection with the stock purchase, certain wholly owned subsidiaries of
Prince Holding Corporation were spun off to its present shareholders just prior
to the consummation of the purchase transaction and, therefore, such
subsidiaries have not been included in these combined financial statements.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared to present the
combined historical financial position, results of operations and cash flows of
the Business purchased by Johnson Controls, Inc. as if the Business existed as
a stand-alone entity. Management believes that these combined financial
statements reasonably include all historical costs of the Business for the
years presented. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The
combined balance sheets do not reflect any adjustments to be made upon the
application of purchase accounting associated with the stock purchase
transaction.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue is recognized on the sale of products when the related items have been
shipped and legal title has passed to the customer.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers money market accounts and all highly liquid investments
with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

The Company does not require collateral or other security on trade accounts
receivable.

               Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued)




NOTE A--BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(CONTINUED)

INVENTORIES

Substantially all inventories are stated at the lower of last-in, first-out
cost or market (see Note B).

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment are recorded on the basis of cost and include
expenditures for new facilities, major renewals and betterments. Normal repairs
and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation of plant and equipment is computed using the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.

TRADE ACCOUNTS PAYABLE

Trade accounts payable include $15,350,000 and $9,055,000 at September 30, 1996
and 1995, respectively, which relate to checks not yet presented for payment to
the bank.

INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes is based on earnings reported in these combined
financial statements and assumes that the Business files a separate income tax
return.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined by applying currently
enacted tax laws and rates to the cumulative temporary differences between the
carrying value of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax
purposes. Deferred income tax expense or credit is measured by the net change
in the deferred income tax asset and liability accounts during the year.

NOTE A--BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(CONTINUED)

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, trade accounts
receivable, trade accounts payable and debt. The carrying amounts of these
financial instruments approximate their fair value at September 30, 1996 and
1995. Fair value was determined using discounted cash flow analyses and current
interest rates for similar instruments. The Company does not hold or issue
financial instruments for trading purposes.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect amounts reported in the combined financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE B--INVENTORIES

If the first-in, first-out method of inventory valuation had been used,
inventories would have been $2,384,000 and $2,478,000 higher than reported at
September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

NOTE C--DEBT

At September 30, 1996, the Company had line-of-credit agreements allowing it to
borrow, including the issuance of letters of credit, up to $125,000,000. The
agreements expired on October 15, 1996 and outstanding balances which bore
interest at an average rate of 5.65% were repaid.

</TABLE>

The term notes payable bear interest at 6.06% and require annual principal
payments totaling $5,700,000 beginning on December 20, 1996.

are as follows: 1998--$5,730,000; 1999--$5,700,000; 2000--$5,700,000;
2001--$5,700,000.

Cash payments of interest on the Company's outstanding debt totaled $3,419,000
in 1996 and $3,429,000 in 1995. Interest of $902,000 in 1996 and $1,135,000 in
1995 was capitalized as a result of various construction projects.

NOTE D--RETIREMENT PLAN

The Company has a retirement plan which covers substantially all employees.
Contributions to the plan are at the discretion of the Board of Directors and
amounted to $10,000,000 in 1996 and $7,325,000 in 1995.

         PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


         The following combined condensed financial statements present, on a
pro forma basis, the effect of the February 28, 1997 sale by Johnson Controls,
Inc (JCI or the Company) of its Plastic Container division (PCD) to Schmalbach
Lubeca AG, a member of the VIAG Group.

         They also present, on a pro forma basis, the effect of the acquisition
by JCI of Prince Holding Corporation (Prince) on October 1, 1996.  The pro
forma data assume that the acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and as
such, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair
values at the time of the acquisition.  Studies, including appraisals of
properties and identifiable intangible assets and evaluations of underlying
business units by JCI's management, were made to determine the fair values of
the net assets acquired.

         The Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Statements do not
necessarily reflect the operations of JCI and Prince as they would have been
had both transactions taken place at the beginning of the periods shown and the
operating results should not be deemed to be indicative of the future
operations of the combined companies.

         The Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Statements should be read
in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of
JCI and Prince.

           NOTES TO PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)


(a)      On February 28, 1997, the Company completed the sale of its Plastic
         Container division (PCD) to Schmalbach-Lubeca AG, a member of the VIAG
         Group.  The pro forma data assume the sale will generate after-tax
         proceeds of approximately $500 million.  This amount is an estimate
         based upon the stated sales price and expected taxes to be paid.  The
         actual amount will not be known until the book and tax bases of PCD
         and certain possible adjustments have been finalized.

         The Company intends to use these proceeds to reduce the short-term
         debt which was incurred to finance the Prince acquisition (see note
         b).  Of the remaining debt,  $300 million is expected to be financed
         long-term, with varying maturities and a weighted average interest
         rate of 7.0%.  The $462 million in remaining short-term debt is
         estimated to carry a 5.75% interest rate.

         An anticipated gain on the sale will be reflected in the Company's
         1997 second fiscal quarter results.  The amount shown as the
         Shareholders' equity adjustment reflects the estimated after-tax
         proceeds less the amount of Net assets of discontinued operations at
         December 31, 1996.  This amount is not necessarily indicative of the
         actual gain to be recorded as certain deferred sales price amounts and
         the book and tax bases of PCD have not been finalized.


(b)      The Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Statements reflect the
         October 1, 1996 purchase by JCI of Prince stock at a stated cost of
         $1,350 million, less certain assumed debt and other liability
         adjustments of approximately $93 million, plus acquisition expenses of
         approximately $5 million, for a total purchase price of $1,262 
         million.
                
<PAGE>   23

(c)      The following adjustments have been made in preparing the Pro Forma
         Combined Condensed Statements of Income to reflect, on a pro forma
         basis, the estimated expense adjustments and related income tax
         effects associated with the use of PCD proceeds for acquisition
         financing (see note a) and the fair value adjustments to Prince's
         assets and liabilities:

(e)      The Prince preferred stock of $26 million at September 30, 1996 is
         held by its original shareholders and, as such, this amount is
         included in Other noncurrent liabilities in the December 31, 1996
         Statement of Financial Position.  Dividends on the Preferred Stock of
         $1.9 million (less the related tax effect of $0.7 million) for the
         year ended September 30, 1996 have been reflected as an expense in the
         Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statement of Income.

(f)      Primary earnings per share are computed by dividing net income, after
         deducting dividend requirements on the Series D Convertible Preferred
         Stock, by the weighted average number of common shares and common
         stock equivalents which would arise from the exercise of stock
         options.  Fully diluted earnings are computed by deducting from net
         income the after-tax compensation expense which would arise from the
         assumed conversion of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, which
         was $5.6 million for the year ended September 30, 1996 and $1.3
         million for the three months ended December 31, 1996.  Fully diluted
         weighted average shares assume the conversion of the Series D
         Convertible Preferred Stock, if dilutive, plus the dilutive effect of
         the stock options.


(g)      Number of shares and per share amounts have been restated to reflect a
         two-for-one split of the Company's common stock payable on March 31,
         1997 to shareholders of record as of March 7, 1997.

       JOHNSON CONTROLS COMPLETES SALE OF ITS PLASTIC CONTAINER DIVISION


        MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN, March 4, 1997 ... Johnson Controls, Inc., today
announced it has completed the previously announced sale of its Plastic
Container Division (PCD) to Schmalbach-Lubeca AG, a member of the VIAG Group.

        Johnson Controls said that the sales price was approximately US$650
million, subject to certain adjustments.  The company will use the after-tax
proceeds, estimated at $475-525 million, to partially reduce debt incurred from
its $1.35 billion acquisition of Prince, an automotive interiors supplier,
which was completed in October 1996.

        The company's financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 1997,
will reflect an after-tax gain on the sale.  The gain will be classified as
part of discontinued operations.
