                       Independent Auditors' Report
                        -----------------------------


The Board of Trustees
Polaroid Profit Sharing Retirement Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of the Polaroid Profit Sharing Retirement Plan as of December 31,
1996 and 1995, and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for benefits for the years then ended.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan
as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in the net assets
available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of
assets held for investment purposes and reportable transactions are
presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part
of the basic financial statements, but are supplementary information
required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting
and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                POLAROID PROFIT SHARING RETIREMENT PLAN

                     Notes to Financial Statements

                     December 31, 1996 and 1995


(1)   Plan Description

      The Polaroid Profit Sharing Retirement Plan (the "Plan") is a
      defined contribution plan sponsored by Polaroid Corporation (the
      "Company") covering substantially all domestic employees.  The Plan
      is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
      Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).  Plan assets are held in safekeeping
      under a master trust contract with the Trustee, Boston Safe Deposit
      and Trust Company.  Fidelity Investments serves as a secondary
      trustee of the Plan assets.  The investment advisors for the Plan
      are Fidelity Investments, Merganser Capital Management Corporation,
      and Mellon Bank, N.A.

      The following description of the Plan provides only general
      information.  Participants should refer to the Plan document for a
      more complete description of the Plan's provisions:

      (a) Employee 401(k) Contributions
      Employees may make elective pre-tax contributions of up to 14
      percent of their pre-tax compensation through payroll deductions,
      subject to limitations established by the Internal Revenue Service.
      For purposes of calculating these contributions, compensation is
      limited to $150,000.

      (b) Employee Voluntary Contributions
      Employees may voluntarily elect to make after-tax contributions of
      up to 10 percent of their compensation through payroll deductions,
      subject to limitations established by the Internal Revenue Service.
      For purposes of calculating these contributions, compensation is
      limited to $150,000.

      (c) Participation and Vesting
      Employees become participants upon their first day of employment and
      are 100 percent vested in their accounts at all times.

      (d) Benefits
      Participants with account balances over $3,500 can elect to have
      benefits paid in the form of a life annuity, a lump sum cash
      payment, periodic installments, or stock for the stock portion of
      the payment.  Participants with accounts balances of $3,500 or less,
      will receive their benefits in the form of a lump sum cash payment.
      A lump sum distribution is also mandated to alternate payees who
      have received a finalized qualified domestic relations order.

      (e) Administrative Expenses
      Administrative expenses are paid by the Plan unless the Company
      elects to pay them.  In 1996 and 1995, this election was not made.

      (f) Participant Loans
      Active employees of the Company who participate in the Plan are
      eligible to take a loan from their account balance.  Participants
      may borrow up to 50% of their account balance, subject to a $1,000
      minimum and $50,000 maximum loan amount.  Loan balances are repaid
      through after-tax payroll deductions and interest is charged on
      outstanding loan balances at a rate of prime plus 1% (8.25%-8.5% in
      1996 and 8.5%-9.0% in 1995).

                        Notes to Financial Statements


      (g) Participant Accounts
      A separate account is established for each participant at the time
      of enrollment in the Plan.  Each participant's account is credited
      with the participant's contribution and an allocation of Plan
      earnings and charged with an allocation of administrative expenses.
      Allocations are based on account balances.  The participant's
      contribution is credited in accordance with the directions given by
      the participant in one or more of the following funds:

      (h) Related Party Transactions
      Certain Plan investments are shares of funds managed by Boston Safe
      Deposit and Trust Company or Fidelity Investments.  Boston Safe
      Deposit and Trust Company is the trustee and Fidelity Investments is
      the secondary trustee as defined by the Plan, and therefore, these
      transactions qualify as party-in-interest.

      principal loss.  The Fund will maintain an average maturity of less

      and dividend income, plus appreciation from stocks.  The Fund
      invests approximately 50% of its assets in a S&P 500r index, and 50%
      in high quality bonds.

      Fidelity Growth & Income Portfolio
      ----------------------------------

      Fidelity Puritan(R) Fund
      ----------------------
      The goal of the Fund is to provide as much income as possible while
      preserving the value of the investments.  Investments are made
      across a variety of companies and industries, and its selection of
      high yielding securities includes all types of common and preferred
      stocks as well as bonds.

(2)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

      (a) Basis of Presentation
      The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on an
      accrual basis.  Benefits payable at year-end are not required to be
      accrued, as they are considered to be a component of the net assets
      available for benefits.

                      Notes to Financial Statements


      (b) Investments
      Investments are stated at fair market value.  The fair market value
      of marketable securities is based on quotations obtained from
      national securities exchanges.  Certain short-term obligations are
      valued at cost, which when combined with accrued interest receivable
      approximates fair market value.  Participant loans are valued at
      cost which approximates fair market value.

      Securities transactions are recognized on the trade date (the date
      the order to buy or sell is executed).  Interest income is recorded
      on the accrual basis and dividend income is recorded on the ex-
      dividend date.

      Net appreciation or depreciation of investments includes both
      realized and unrealized gains and losses.

      (c) Payment of Benefits
      Benefits are recorded when paid.

(3)   Federal Income Tax

      On September 12, 1995, the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS")
      issued a Determination letter which stated that the Plan and its
      underlying Trust qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal
      Revenue Code (the "Code") and therefore, is exempt from federal
      income taxes under Section 501(a) of the Code.

(4)   Investments

      The following table presents investments at fair market value.
      Investments that represent 5 percent or more of the Plan's net
      assets are separately identified:

(6)   Plan Termination

      Although it has expressed no intent to do so, the Company has the
      right under the Plan to terminate the Plan.  If the Plan were
      terminated, all participants would remain 100 percent vested in
      their accounts.  Upon termination of the Plan, all accounts would be
      distributed to the participants or their beneficiaries.

(7)   Plan Amendments

      The Plan may be amended at any time by the Company.  However, no
      amendment can reduce the amount of any participant's account or the
      participant's vested percentage on that account.  In addition,
      notices of all amendments shall be given in writing to each
      participant, or beneficiary of deceased participants of the Plan.
