             Report of Independent Public Accountants


To X-Rite, Incorporated:


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Labsphere, Inc. (a new 
Hampshire corporation) as of December 31, 1994, and the related statements of 
income, shareholders' 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.  The financial statements of Labsphere, Inc. as of 
December 31, 1993 were audited by other auditors whose report, dated 
February 14, 1994, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

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 financial position of Labsphere, Inc. as of 
December 31, 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for 
the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting 
principles.

(8)  CAPITAL STOCK

     (a)  Stock Split

               In April 1993, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation,
               increasing its authorized number of shares from 15,000 to 
               1,500,000 shares and reducing the par value from $1 to $.01 to 
               facilitate a 100-for-1 common stock split.  The accompanying 
               financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to 
               reflect the stock split.

     (b)  Incentive Stock Option Plan

               In 1993, the Company adopted the 1993 Incentive Stock Option Plan
               (the Plan).  The Plan authorizes the grant of incentive stock 
               options to key employees for the purchase of common stock at a
               price not less than the fair market value at the date of grant.  
               The Plan also allows for the grant of up to 75,000 shares of 
               the Company's common stock.  The options generally vest over a
               four-year period and expire no more than 10 years from the date 
               of grant.  At December 31, 1994, the Company had 10,000 
               options available for future grant.

               A summary of stock option activity for the two-year period ended 
               December 31, 1994 is as follows:

(10) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     The Company engaged the services of an advertising/marketing agency 
     previously owned by a shareholder's spouse.  During 1993, services 
     provided by this advertising/marketing agency approximated $159,000.

(11) PROFIT SHARING PLAN

     The Company has a profit sharing plan that covers substantially all of its
     employees after minimum service requirements have been met.

     The Plan provides for elective employee salary reductions of 1% to 15% of 
     gross wages.  The Company matches 50% of the employee's salary reduction
     from 1% to 7% of base pay only.  Contributions of approximately $63,000 
     and $54,000 were made in 1994 and 1993, respectively.  Employer 
     contributions vest at 20% per year of service, commencing after three 
     years of service and are fully vested after seven years of service.  
     The Company may also elect to make a discretionary contribution.  No such 
     election was made for 1994 or 1993.

(12) SUBSEQUENT EVENT

     On October 27, 1994, the Company signed a letter of intent to be acquired 
     by X-Rite, Incorporated for $11,500,000 in cash for all outstanding 
     shares of common stock and the retirement of all outstanding options. 
     Approximately $1,150,000 will be held in escrow for a period of six months
     as security for future contingencies or breaches of representations and 
     warranties.

Note to Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information


Note 1 - Pro Forma Adjustments

The following adjustments have been made to reflect the pro forma effect of the 
Company's acquisition of Labsphere as if the acquisition was consummated as 
of December 31, 1994 (pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet) and 
January 1, 1994 (pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income):

(A)  Reflects payment by the Company of $11,500,000 to purchase 100% of the 
     outstanding shares of Labsphere Common Stock from the stockholders, and 
     decrease Labsphere's outstanding indebtedness by $1,700,000.

(B)  Under purchase accounting, Labsphere's assets and liabilities are required 
     to be adjusted to their estimated fair values.  The estimated fair value
     adjustments are based upon management's estimates and available 
     information in Labsphere's financial statements included elsewhere
     herein.  These values are subject to potential future adjustments for a 
     period of twelve months subsequent to the acquisition date and will be 
     adjusted based upon the results of an independent appraisal to be 
     performed during that time frame.  The adjustment made reflects
     the increase from book value to estimated fair value for Labsphere's land, 
     building and certain patents.

(C)  After adjusting all assets and liabilities to their estimated fair values, 
     the remainder of the purchase price not allocated to other categories 
     becomes goodwill, as presented here.  It is anticipated that the period 
     over which the Company will recognize the cost of this purchase price in 
     excess of the fair market value of net assets is fifteen years.

(D)  Due to the reduction of both indebtedness and investments (see Note (A) 
     above), the related interest expense and income, respectively, would be 
     substantially reduced.

(E)  The goodwill amortization is not deductible for federal tax purposes and 
     the interest income that was reduced based on a lower investment level 
     was tax exempt.  The combination of these factors is reflected here.

Profitability improvements expected to result from integrating the operations of
Labsphere with X-Rite have not been reflected in the pro forma data herein.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the 
registrant has duly caused this amendment to be signed on its behalf by the 
undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
