                         INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT


To the Board of Directors
Photo Control Corporation
Minneapolis, Minnesota


         We have reviewed the accompanying condensed balance sheet of Photo
Control Corporation as of March 31, 2000, and the related condensed statements
of income and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2000. These
condensed financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.

         We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is
the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

         Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications
that should be made to the accompanying condensed financial statements referred
to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

         We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, the balance sheet of Photo Control Corporation as of
December 31, 1999, and the related statements of changes in stockholders'
equity, operations and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented
herein); and in our report dated January 20, 2000, we expressed an unqualified
opinion on those financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth
in the accompanying condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 1999 is fairly
stated, in all material respects, in relation to the balance sheet from which it
has been derived.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OPERATIONS

Sales for the first quarter ended March 31, 2000, were $2,108,000, an increase
of 15.3% and $279,000 from the first quarter in 1999. The camera product line
sales increased $610,000, the printer product line sales increased $33,000 and
the flash equipment product line sales decreased $364,000. The increase in
camera product line sales is attributable to the $6,200,000 camera contract for
which shipment began in December of 1999 and will continue through April of
2001. The printer product line had a slight increase in sales, but the overall
long-term sales trend is downward. A decrease in OEM orders accounted for the
sales decrease of $364,000 in the flash equipment product line.

In February of 1999, the company entered an agreement with Eastman Kodak Company
to manufacture, sell and service the new Kodak Professional Dual Capture Imaging
System. The system was developed by Kodak Professional, however, due to poor
image quality, Kodak has decided to discontinue this product. The Company will
be reimbursed for its cost on this project and will not suffer any adverse
financial effects.

The gross profit margin for the first quarter of 2000 decreased to 24.9%
compared to 26.0% from the first quarter of 1999. Gross margin varies depending
upon the product mix of sales. Management continues to expect that the margins
for the year 2000 will be approximately 28%.

Research, development and engineering expenses decreased by $35,000 for the
first quarter of 2000 compared to the first quarter of 1999 and marketing and
administrative expenses decreased $32,000. These expense decreases reflect staff
reductions as a result of a focus on products, which already have market
penetration and can be effectively sold through the existing distribution
network.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash decreased by $337,000 to $481,000 since December 31, 1999. Operations for
the quarter resulted in $319,000 of negative cash flow. At March 31, 2000, there
was no bank borrowing and the Company had $1,000,000 available under its line of
credit.

The Company believes that its cash flow from operations and available borrowing
capacity will be sufficient to finance operations and capital requirements.
