REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


Board of Directors and
Shareholders of Plasti-Line, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying Historical Summary of Net Assets of
Carter-Miot Engineering Company, Inc. (Carter-Miot) as of March 31, 1995 to
be acquired by Plasti-Line, Inc., and the related historical summary of
Carter-Miot's Operating Revenues and Expenses for the year then ended
(collectively, the Historical Summaries).  These Historical Summaries are the
responsibility of Carter-Miot's management.   Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these Historical Summaries 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 Historical Summaries are free
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Historical Summaries.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the Historical Summaries.  We believe that our audit provides
a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying Historical Summaries were prepared for the purpose of
complying with certain rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (for inclusion in a current report on Form 8-K/A of Plasti-Line,
Inc.) as described in Note 1, and are not intended to be a complete
presentation of Carter-Miot's assets or revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, the accompanying Historical Summaries referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets of Carter-Miot as of
March 31, 1995 to be acquired by Plasti-Line, Inc., and the operating
revenues and expenses for the year then ended, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 3, to the Historical Summaries, Carter-Miot changed its
method of revenue recognition.  The accompanying Historical Summaries have
been prepared using the newly adopted method.

Notes to Financial Summaries

1. 	BASIS OF PRESENTATION

On November 2, 1995, Plasti-Line, Inc. (Plasti-Line) purchased certain of
Carter-Miot Engineering Company, Inc.'s (Carter-Miot) operating assets.  The
consideration paid by Plasti-Line consisted of $4,550,000 in cash, including
estimated professional fees and other acquisition-related costs, and the
assumption of certain Carter-Miot customer deposits, subcontractor payables,
and other liabilities totaling approximately $1,632,000.  The assets acquired
by Plasti-Line are a component of Carter-Miot, rather than a separate legal
entity or organization.  The accompanying historical summaries of net assets
acquired and the related historical summaries of operating revenues and
expenses were prepared for the purpose of complying with certain rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for inclusion in a
current report on Form 8/K-A of Plasti-Line, Inc.), and are not intended to be
a complete presentation of Carter-Miot's assets or revenues and expenses.

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost
determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.  At March 31, 1995,
inventory consists of $637,071 of raw materials and $2,507,698 of work-in
process and finished goods.

Machinery and Equipment - Machinery and equipment are stated at historical
cost.  Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the respective assets.

Customer Deposits - Customer deposits represent advance payments from various
contract customers.

Interim Historical Summaries - Information in the accompanying historical
summaries for the interim periods is unaudited.  In the opinion of
Carter-Miot's management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the six month period ended September 30, 1995, are not 
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a complete
year.

3.	CHANGE IN REVENUE RECOGNITION

Prior to fiscal 1995, the Company recognized revenue from contracts using the
percentage of completion method.  Effective at the beginning of fiscal 1995,
the Company began recognizing revenue upon shipment or installation of product,
based on contractual requirements.  Management believes the recognition of
sales only upon shipment or completion of installation better represents the
Company's completion of the earnings process under its contracts and is more
consistent with industry practice.  Accordingly, historical information for
the year ended March 31, 1995, and all interim periods (unaudited) have been
restated to give retroactive effect to this change.  The effect of the
change was to decrease previously reported sales for the year ended March 31,
1995 by approximately $350,000.

(1)		To record the Company's estimated interest expense related to debt
     incurred for the acquisition ($4,550,000, principal amount at an
     average rate of 5.3% for the year ended January 1, 1995, and 7.5% for
     the nine months ended October 1, 1995).

(2) 	To eliminate Carter-Miot's historical depreciation expense and record
     depreciation and amortization on Carter-Miot assets acquired by the
     Company based upon their adjusted values using lives of 5 years for
     machinery and equipment and 15 years for goodwill, and to reflect cost
     of sales based on adjusted inventory value using the first-in, first-out
     costing method as follows (in thousands):

(3)	To eliminate certain Carter-Miot historical general and administrative
    expenses, and record the Company's estimated incremental personnel costs
    based on staff reductions.  The reduction in personnel costs principally
    reflects the termination of eleven senior managers and replacement with
    one incremental general manager and two project managers.  The reduction
    in executive compensation reflects the elimination of salary and certain
    benefit costs related to an executive position that will not be replaced
    by the Company.  A detail of such costs is as follows (in thousands):

NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET (UNAUDITED)

(1)  To record the allocation of consideration paid by the Company at fair 
     value to the separately identifiable Carter-Miot assets acquired.  The
     consideration paid was approximately $4.55 million cash, including
     estimated professional fees and other acquistion-related costs, and the 
     assumption of certain obligations totaling approximately $1.63 million.
     The allocation of the purchase price to assets is expected to be as 
     follows (in thousands):

                       Accounts receivable               $1,532
                       Inventory                          2,392
                       Machinery and equipment              972
                       Goodwill                           1,165
                       Other                                121

                                                         $6,182

     The allocation of the purchase price is subject to adjustment when
     additional information concerning asset and liability valuations is 
     obtained.  The final asset and liability fair values may differ from
     those set forth in the accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated 
     balance sheet; however, the changes are not expected to have a material
     effect on the consolidated financial position of Plasti-Line, Inc.

(2)  To reflect debt incurred by the Company to finance the Carter-Miot
     acquisition.

(3)  To reverse Carter-Miot's historical cost basis in net assets acquired by
     the Company.
