               Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Auditors


Shareholders and Board of Directors
Seattle FilmWorks, Inc.

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Seattle
FilmWorks, Inc. (the Company) as of September 26, 1998 and September 27, 1997,
and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 26, 1998.
Out audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at
Item 14(a).  These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of
the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and schedule 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Seattle FilmWorks, Inc. at September 26, 1998 and September 27, 1997, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended September 26, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.  Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement
schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth
therein.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE  A --  OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

SEATTLE FILMWORKS, INC. and subsidiaries (the "Company") is a leading direct-to-
consumer marketer and provider of high-quality amateur traditional
photofinishing and digital imaging services and products.  The Company offers an
array of complementary services and products, primarily on a mail-order basis,
under the brand name SeattleFilmWorks.  To a lesser extent, the Company provides
services, products, and photofinishing supplies on a wholesale basis to a
variety of commercial customers.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION:  The consolidated financial statements include
Seattle FilmWorks, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned.
Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:  Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and
highly liquid short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less on
the date of purchase.

SECURITIES AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE:  Securities available-for-sale consist primarily
of bankers' acceptances, commercial paper, and government securities issued by
financial institutions with high credit ratings; all of which mature no later
than November 1999.  Company policy limits the amount of credit exposure with
any one financial institution.  The fiscal 1998 and fiscal 1997 balance
consisted primarily of government securities.  Securities available-for-sale are
carried at amortized cost, which approximates market.

OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:  At September 26, 1998, the carrying value of
financial instruments such as trade receivables and payables, approximate their
fair values, based on the short-term maturities of these instruments.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE:  Accounts receivable primarily include amounts due from
mail-order customers from the sale of related photographic products and amounts
due from wholesale customers from the sale of film and single-use cameras.  An
allowance for doubtful accounts is established for an estimate of bad debts.

INVENTORIES:  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (using the first-in,
first-out method) or market.  Inventories consist primarily of film and
photofinishing supplies.

CAPITALIZED PROMOTIONAL EXPENDITURES:  The Company's promotional programs run
for periods of one to six months. Promotional expenditures primarily consist of
advertising and media costs related to generating consumer interest in the
Company's photofinishing services.  The Company capitalizes these costs as
capitalized promotional expenditures and expenses them the first time the
promotion is run.  Advertising expense was $3,610,000, $3,582,000, and
$2,989,000 in fiscal years 1998, 1997, and 1996, respectively.

DEPRECIATION:  Furniture, fixtures, and equipment are depreciated using the
straight-line and accelerated methods based on the estimated useful asset lives
ranging from three to five years.  Expenditures for major remodeling and
improvements are capitalized as leasehold improvements.  Leasehold improvements
are depreciated over the shorter of the life of the lease or the life of the
asset.

INCOME TAXES:  The provision for federal income taxes is computed based on
pretax income reported in the consolidated financial statements.  Research and
development tax credits are recorded as a reduction of the provision for federal
income taxes in the year realized.  The provision for income taxes differs from
income taxes currently payable because certain items of income and expense are
recognized in different periods for financial reporting purposes than they are
for federal income tax purposes.  Deferred income taxes have been recorded in
recognition of these temporary differences.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


NOTE  A --  OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(Continued)

EARNINGS PER SHARE:  Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number
of shares and dilutive Common Stock equivalents outstanding during the fiscal
year. Common Stock equivalents consist of stock options.  The dilutive effect of
stock options is excluded from the calculation of basic earnings per share, but
included in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION:  The Company has adopted the disclosure-only
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation" and applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No
25 (APB 25) and related Interpretations in accounting for its stock option
plans.  Accordingly, the Company's stock-based compensation expense is
recognized based on the intrinsic value of the option on the date of grant.  Pro
forma disclosure of diluted earnings per share under Statement 123 is provided
in Note H to the consolidated financial statements.

REVENUE RECOGNITION:  The Company recognizes revenue when products are shipped
or services are delivered.  The Company provides its customers with a 100%
satisfaction guarantee.  The majority of the Company's products and services
will not be returned but customers can request a refund if not satisfied.
During fiscal year 1998 refunds were less than 1% of net revenues.  An allowance
is recorded for expected future returns.

SEGMENT REPORTING:  In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131, "Disclosure
about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information."  SFAS No. 131, which
is effective for years beginning after December 15, 1997, establishes standards
for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating
segments in published financial reports.  The Company will adopt the new
requirements in fiscal 1999.  Management has not yet determined the manner in
which it will present the information required by SFAS No. 131.

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

RECLASSIFICATIONS:  Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to
conform to the current year's presentation.

NOTE  B --  CUSTOMER AQUISITION EXPENDITURES

     The Company's principal technique for acquiring new customers is its
Introductory Offer of two rolls of 35mm film for $2.00 or less.  Customer
acquisition costs are comprised of the costs of generating a lead and the
amortization of direct costs associated with the Company's promotional offers
sent to prospective and existing customers.  The costs of generating a lead,
which are expensed when the promotion is run, include all direct-response media,
advertising, and other costs associated with developing target customer lists.
The direct costs of customer acquisition include film, postage, and printed
material costs associated with mailings to prospective and existing customers.
For periods prior to and including fiscal year 1998, the direct costs of
customer acquisition were capitalized as an asset on the Company's consolidated
balance sheet under "capitalized customer acquisition expenditures" and
amortized over a three year period on an accelerated basis.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


NOTE  B -- CUSTOMER AQUISITION EXPENDITURES (Continued)

     In accounting for customer acquisition costs, the Company follows the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-7,
Reporting on Advertising Costs (SOP 93-7).  Using unique customer numbers and
coded promotional response forms the Company tracks both the direct-response
mailing to which the customer responded and the revenues generated over the life
of the customer.  The Company has therefore been capable of matching specific
revenues associated with a specific pool of customers with the related
capitalized customer acquisition cost.  For all periods prior to the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1998, this data provided the basis for the three year
amortization schedule of 55% the first year, 29% the second year and 16% the
third year.

     Quarterly analyses prior to fiscal year 1998 indicated that the marketing
programs for which costs were capitalized were consistently yielding net profits
from identifiable rolls in excess of the program costs.  During fiscal year
1998, the quarterly analyses of identifiable rolls began to show a decline in
net profitability from identifiable rolls, but the programs were still
profitable overall.  The analysis done during the third quarter of fiscal 1998
indicated that production problems during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997 had
caused an extraordinary impact on customer responses, but the amount of customer
acquisition costs then capitalized were not believed to be in excess of the
estimated net profit from future identifiable rolls to be received under the
programs.  In the fourth quarter, continued deterioration in the performance of
the Company's customer acquisition programs occurred.  This trend was discussed
in the MD&A set forth in the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 27,
1998 when the Company indicated photofinishing revenues were weaker in the
latter part of June (1998) and this pattern was continuing into the month of
July.  While increased competition and other factors may have been contributing
to reduced photofinishing volumes, management's statistical analysis of
marketing programs indicated that photofinishing volumes continued to be
negatively affected by extended delivery times experienced by customers during
the summer of fiscal 1997.  Upon completing the quarterly review of the
recoverability of the capitalized costs as of September 26, 1998, management
concluded lower response rates to customer acquisition programs required an
adjustment to the amount of capitalized costs associated with those programs.
The Company recorded a charge of $613,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998
to write-down the Customer Acquisition Costs recorded as an asset to the
probable remaining future net profitability expected to result directly from the
deferred customer acquisition costs.  The assessment of the realizability of the
asset was completed on a monthly pool-by-pool basis.  Based upon photofinishing
volumes through the fourth quarter of 1998, estimates for future net
profitability of the majority of customer acquisition programs conducted during
fiscal 1998 were less than the corresponding amounts that remained unamortized.
In accordance with SOP 93-7, these estimates only included revenue that could be
specifically identified as resulting from a particular program.  Although these
marketing programs remained profitable on an overall basis if customer orders
which could not be specifically tracked were included in the analysis, the net
profit that could be specifically isolated to the capitalized costs did not
support the amount of unamortized costs on the balance sheet.  Thus, the net
realizability of a portion of the asset could not be supported and expensing of
certain previously capitalized costs became appropriate.  Accordingly, the asset
was written down $613,000 to bring the net capitalized cost to estimated break-
even performance for estimated future identifiable roll volume.

     The Company believes the reliability of accounting estimates decreases as
the length of the period for which such estimates are made increases. Therefore,
the period over which the benefits of direct response advertising should be
amortized is no longer than the greater of one year or one operating cycle.
During the past, when the nature of the marketing programs was essentially
static and consistently utilized, the Company was able to demonstrate, with
reasonable reliability, that the duration of the probable future benefits was up
to three years. Management now expects the percentage of unidentifiable
respondents to increase. New marketing programs scheduled for launch in the next
several quarters will remove management's ability to reliably measure

NOTE  B -- CUSTOMER AQUISITION EXPENDITURES (Continued)

customer responses beyond twelve months.  With changes in marketing programs,
coupled with expansion of retail operations, management can no longer conclude
as to the specific advertising, if any (e.g. in the case of retail signage
promotions) to which a customer is responding.  Under current marketing plans, a
significant number of customers, for which a portion of the costs of previous
direct marketing efforts remain capitalized, will be impacted by the new
programs during fiscal 1999.  As a result, management does not believe that the
prior measured timing of responses is indicative of future measurable responses
from the prior marketing programs, and that, once these pools are tainted by the
supplemental marketing to these customers, conclusive data no longer will exist
to continue to support amortizing the remaining capitalized costs of previous
programs for more than a period of twelve months.  Planned marketing programs in
1999 contemplate that pools will become tainted at some point throughout the
year by supplemental marketing efforts.  Accordingly, effective in the first
quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company will expense customer acquisition costs as
incurred and will amortize the remaining $16,800,000 of capitalized customer
acquisition costs over a twelve month period on a straight-line basis.  This is
management's best estimate of the period in which the benefits of the previous
marketing costs to this customer base will be visible before the measurable
benefits of these previous programs are obsoleted by the supplemental marketing
efforts to this customer base.  Furthermore, management estimates that the gross
margin associated with future photofinishing orders would support a twelve month
amortization period.  This change in estimate does not impact fiscal year 1998
and management believes the change in estimate from a three year accelerated
amortization to a twelve month straight-line amortization will result in
incremental amortization of previously deferred customer acquisition costs
during fiscal year 1999 of approximately  $5,810,000, or $.24 per share.

NOTE  C --  ACQUISITION OF PRIVATE LABEL FILM BUSINESS

     On December 30, 1993, the Company acquired certain assets of Private Label
Film, Inc. for approximately $1,637,000.  The assets relate to the manufacture
and sale of private-label film and related products to retailers and commercial
users.    This acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method.
The purchase price was recorded as follows:  equipment $100,000; and other
assets of $1,536,830 related to non-compete agreements, which includes
capitalized legal and accounting expenses.  The non-compete agreement was
amortized as other selling expenses on a straight-line basis over five years and
has been fully amortized at September 26, 1998.

NOTE  E --  CREDIT AGREEMENT

     At September 26, 1998, the Company had a $6,000,000 available line of
credit. At the option of the Company, the interest rate on borrowings under the
agreement may be at the lending bank's prime rate or at a rate of 0.75% above
the London Interbank Offered Rate. There were no borrowings outstanding at the
end of fiscal 1998 or fiscal 1997 under the line of credit.

NOTE  F --  PROPERTY AND LEASES

     The Company's primary operating leases relate to its main operating
facilities. These two leases, one for 60,000 square feet and one for 46,000
square feet, expire in September 2005 and 2000, respectively. Both leases have
five-year options to extend through September 2010. The Company has a lease
agreement for additional warehouse and production space, which expires in
January 1999 with an option to extend the lease for two one-year periods. The
Company also has various operating leases for its retail stores, with lease
terms generally ranging from three to five years. During fiscal 1998, the
Company entered into a five-year capital lease transaction to finance the

NOTE  H --  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (Continued)

     Pro forma information regarding net income and diluted earnings per share
required by Statement No. 123 has been determined as if the Company had
accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of that
Statement. The fair value for the options was estimated at the date of grant
using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions on the option grant date: Risk free interest rate of 5.59% for
fiscal year 1998, 6.39% for fiscal year 1997, and 5.74% for fiscal year 1996,
expected volatility of 58.27% for fiscal year 1998 and 46.75% for fiscal years
1997 and 1996, expected option life of 4.47 years for fiscal year 1998 and 4.99
for fiscal years 1997 and 1996, and a dividend yield of 0.0%.

     Under Statement No. 123, if the Company had elected to recognize the
compensation cost based upon the fair value of the options granted at grant
date, net income would have been reduced as follows:

</TABLE>

    The pro forma effects on net income for fiscal year 1998, 1997 and 1996 are
not indicative of pro forma effects in future years because SFAS No. 123 does
not apply to grants prior to fiscal 1996 and additional grants in future years
are anticipated.

     In September 1998, the Board of Directors passed a resolution to allow
employees the opportunity to surrender previously granted options in exchange
for a new option grant at current market prices. Employees would be granted
options for two shares of common stock in exchange for the surrender of options
for three shares of common stock. All vesting periods would start at the new
grant date at the rate of 25% for each year employed after the new grant date.
The new grant date was October 9, 1998, with a grant price equal to fair market
value of $3.125. Total old options surrendered and canceled were 217,150. Total
new options issued on October 9, 1998 were 144,765. Executive officers and non-
employee directors were not eligible to participate in this option exchange.

     No compensation expense was recognized upon the October 9, 1998 exchange
because there was no intrinsic value in the new options as of that date.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

     Effective September 22, 1993, the Company adopted an Employee Stock
Purchase Plan under which substantially all employees have the option to
purchase 506,250 shares of Common Stock. Under the Plan, eligible employees may
purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock at six-month intervals at 85% of
the fair market value on the first or last day of the six-month offering period,
whichever is lower. Employees may purchase shares having a value not exceeding
10% of their gross compensation during the purchase period. During fiscal 1998
and 1997, shares totaling 35,382 and 37,410 were issued under the Plan at an
average price of $8.47 and $9.89 per share, respectively. At September 26, 1998,
231,492 shares were reserved for future issuance.

NOTE  I --  SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Stock Splits

     All share data, per share data, and related accounts in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements and these notes reflect a retroactive
adjustment for a three-for-two stock split effective March 15, 1996, and a
three-for-two stock split effective March 17, 1997.

Share Repurchases

     In January 1997, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of the
Company's Common Stock, either through open market purchases at prevailing
market prices, through block purchases or in privately negotiated transactions.
Repurchases may be commenced or discontinued at any time.  Although the number
of shares to be repurchased is uncertain, any repurchased shares will to some
degree offset the dilutive effect on earnings per share of shares of Common
Stock issued under the Company's stock option and stock purchase plans.

     During fiscal year 1998, the Company had purchased a total of 843,367
shares for a total of $4,829,000.  In addition, in October 1998, the Company
purchased a total of 466,000 shares for a total of $1,493,000.

NOTE  J  --  EARNINGS PER SHARE

     The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with the Financial
Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
"Earnings per Share".  Statement No. 128 replaced the previously reported
primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per
share.  Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any
dilutive effects of options.  Diluted earnings per share is similar to the
previously reported primary earnings per share.  All earnings per share amounts
for all prior periods presented have been restated to conform to Statement No.
128 requirements.

     The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted
earnings per share:

NOTE  J  --  EARNINGS PER SHARE (Continued)

     Excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the year
ended September 26, 1998 are options to acquire 575,049 shares of common stock
with a weighted average exercise price of $10.81.  Excluded from the computation
of diluted earnings per share for the year ended September 27, 1997 are options
to acquire 14,587 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price
of $13.44.  Excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the
year ended September 28, 1996 are options to acquire 168,150 shares of common
stock with a weighted average exercise price of $11.73.  The impact of these
options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because
their effects would be antidilutive.

NOTE  K --  RETIREMENT AND PROFIT SHARING PLAN

     The Company maintains a 401(k) Plan for substantially all employees. The
Company's contributions are based on matching a percentage of up to 2% of
voluntary employee contributions and discretionary profit sharing contribution
determined by the Board of Directors. The Company's contributions were $377,000,
$547,000, and $488,000 for fiscal years 1998, 1997, and 1996, respectively.

NOTE L  --  CONTINGENCIES

     The Company is a defendant in a legal proceeding filed by Fuji Photo Film
Co., Ltd. ("Fuji") with the International Trade Commission ("ITC") on February
13, 1998. The action was filed against a number of importers, including the
Company's OptiColor, Inc. subsidiary, alleging patent infringement of U.S.
patents on single use cameras through the importation and resale into the U.S.
of recycled cameras. Fuji is seeking an order prohibiting importation of the
alleged infringing cameras into the U.S. and prohibiting further sales of such
products which have been imported. Sales of recycled cameras accounted for 3.8 %
of the Company's net revenues during fiscal 1998. An evidentiary hearing before
an ITC Administrative Law Judge ("ALJ") was held in November, 1998 and the ALJ
is expected to issue an initial decision in February, 1999. Such decision is
subject to review by the ITC Commissioners, who would then issue a final
decision, most likely in May, 1999. That decision would be subject to appeal to
the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals. In addition, the Company is involved in
various routine legal proceedings incident to the ordinary course of its
business.
