            REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS




To the Extrusion and Color Divisions of
Pawnee Industries, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of the
Extrusion and Color Divisions of Pawnee Industries, Inc., as of
September 30, 1994, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, equity and cash flows for the year 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 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 consolidated financial
position of the Extrusion and Color Divisions of Pawnee Industries,
Inc. as of September 30, 1994, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                       SEPTEMBER 30, 1994



1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ORGANIZATION:

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
Extrusion and Color Divisions of Pawnee Industries, Inc. (the
Company).  Because the Company's operations were substantially
conducted through divisions of Pawnee Industries, Inc. (Pawnee),
the Company had no separately identifiable equity other than an
amount equal to its net assets captioned as "Investment by Pawnee
Industries, Inc."  All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Organization

The Company's Extrusion Division manufactures and sells extruded
rigid plastic sheet and rollstock produced from various plastic
resins.  The Company's Color Division formulates, manufactures and
sells color compounds, concentrates and additives used in the
manufacture of plastics products.  The Company's products are sold
primarily to manufacturers for applications in the recreation,
transportation, and other consumer product industries.  These
customers are located throughout the United States with
concentrations of customers in Texas, Kansas, Ohio, and surrounding
states in those areas.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO)
cost or net realizable value.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets.

Revenue Recognition

The Company manufactures products for specific customer orders and
for standard stock inventory.  Revenues are recognized and billings
are rendered as the product is shipped to the customer.

Research and Development

The cost of research and product development is charged to expense
as incurred.  Such costs have not been significant.<PAGE>
Corporate Allocations

Pawnee allocated corporate costs to each division based upon the
individual division's gross revenues.  These costs are considered
appropriate for each division and in the opinion of management, the
method of allocation is reasonable.

Income Taxes

Pawnee is in a net operating loss position and no tax benefit was
allocated to the divisions.

3. INVENTORIES:

Inventories at September 30, 1994, consist of the following:

     Raw material and purchased parts                $ 3,889,776
     Work in process and finished goods                  608,672
     Supplies                                            123,203

                                                       4,621,651

     Reserve for LIFO                                 (1,418,486)

          Total inventories                          $ 3,203,165

4. LONG-TERM DEBT:

The Company did not receive debt allocations from Pawnee, however,
interest expense is allocated based upon the average investment by
Pawnee multiplied by the average interest rate on Pawnee's debt.

5. LEASE COMMITMENTS:

The Company leases certain buildings, vehicles and equipment.  Net
rental expense pursuant to all operating leases for the year ended
September 30, 1994, was $238,832.

The aggregate minimum annual rental payments for noncancelable
operating leases as of September 30, 1994, are as follows: 1995-
$100,709; 1996-$3,605; 1997-$672; 1998-$672; and 1999-$672.

6. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:

Pawnee has a 401(k) thrift plan which covers substantially all
officers and employees of the Company.  Provisions of the plan
allow the Company to contribute up to 4% of the employee's actual
monthly compensation.  The amount provided for contributions for
the year ended September 30, 1994 was $142,486.

7. SUBSEQUENT EVENT:

On November 1, 1994, Spartech Corporation acquired the Company. 
The purchase included the Extrusion Divisions, located in Wichita,
Kansas and Paulding, Ohio, along with the Color Division, located
in Goddard, Kansas.  The purchase price for the Company's net
assets, exclusive of working capital purchased, totaled
$15,000,000, subject to post-closing adjustments.  In addition,
Spartech Corporation paid approximately $11,000,000 for working
capital assets (inventory and receivables).<PAGE>

 NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Basis of Presentation

     Spartech Corporation's (the "Company") historical amounts
shown for the consolidated condensed balance sheet as of October
29, 1994 and for the consolidated condensed statement of operations
for the fiscal year ended October 29, 1994 represent its audited
results for that period.  Pawnee's Extrusion and Color Divisions'
historical amounts shown for the consolidated condensed balance
sheet as of October 29, 1994 and for the consolidated condensed
statement of operations for the fiscal year ended October 29, 1994
represent its unaudited results for those periods.

     The acquired assets of Pawnee's Extrusion and Color Divisions
have been recorded at their estimated fair market values or net
realizable values with the excess purchase price over the fair
market values and net realizable values recorded as goodwill.  The
purchase price for Pawnee's assets totaled approximately $26
million (subject to post-closing adjustments), approximately $11
million of which represented the purchase of working capital
assets, accounts receivable and inventory.  Approximately $24,875
of this purchase price was paid in cash, while the remaining
balance represented primarily employee related liabilities assumed
by Spartech of approximately $926 and accrued transaction costs
estimated to be $300.  The cash portion of the purchase price was
financed through the Company's amended credit arrangement with
Chemical Bank and was recorded as a Pro forma adjustment to the
consolidated condensed balance sheet as senior long-term debt. 
Pawnee's equity has been eliminated through a Pro forma adjustment
since the acquisition was an asset purchase.

Cost of Sales

     Pawnee's historical financial statements included an obsolete
inventory adjustment of $1,220 during the fiscal year ended October
29, 1994.  Spartech has adjusted Pawnee's inventory value to its
net realizable value and does not anticipate such adjustments in
the future.

Centralized Corporate Office

     Prior to the acquisition, Pawnee maintained a centralized
corporate office designed to fully support its operations. 
Subsequent to acquisition, the Company merged or eliminated several
of the office functions, thereby reducing salary and overhead
expenses.  The pro forma consolidated condensed statement of
operations for the fiscal year ended October 29, 1994 reflects
reductions in selling and administrative expenses related to these
items of $1,450.<PAGE>

              (Unaudited and dollars in thousands)


Fixed Asset Sale

     The pro forma consolidated condensed statement of operations
for the fiscal year ended October 29, 1994 reflects the elimination
of the gain recorded by Pawnee during fiscal year 1994 on the sale
of fixed assets of $137.

Depreciation and Amortization

     The pro forma consolidated condensed statement of operations
for the fiscal year ended October 29, 1994 reflects a decrease of
approximately $797 (over historical amounts recorded) in deprec-
iation resulting from the write-down of property, plant and equip-
ment to its estimated fair market value.  The statements also
include additional amortization expense of $85 incurred from the
Goodwill purchased with this acquisition.

Interest Expense

     The pro forma consolidated condensed statement of operations
for the fiscal year ended October 29, 1994 reflects additional
interest expense of $1,600 related to the debt incurred to finance
the acquisition.  The Company's average borrowing rate was
approximately 6.5% during fiscal 1994.

Income Taxes

     Income taxes have been provided on the incremental increase in
income at a rate of approximately 18.5%, which represents the rate
incurred by the Company for the fiscal year ended October 29, 1994.
