                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



The Board of Trustees
Polaroid Retirement Savings Plan:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Polaroid Retirement Savings Plan as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, 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, 1998 and 1997, 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.

              Effective December 1, 1997, the Polaroid Employee Stock Equity
              Plan (the "ESOP") was merged with the Polaroid Profit Sharing
              Retirement Plan. In connection with the merger, the Polaroid
              Profit Sharing Retirement Plan was renamed the Polaroid Retirement
              Savings Plan. As required by the Plan, the ESOP account is
              separately maintained. The assets are currently maintained in the
              Polaroid ESOP Stock Fund.

              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)    EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS

              Beginning on January 1, 1998, the Company contributed for each
              plan participant an amount equal to 3% of their annual
              compensation consisting of regular and overtime wages. These
              contributions are invested according to each participant's
              investment instructions. Until the investment instructions have
              been established by the participant, these funds will be allocated
              into the Merganser Money Market Fund and the Fidelity Retirement
              Money Market Portfolio in approximately equal portions. For
              purposes of calculating these contributions, compensation will be
              subject to limitations established by the Internal Revenue
              Service.

              Also, beginning on January 1, 1998, the Company contributed for
              each plan participant, an amount equal to 5% of their annual
              compensation consisting of regular and overtime wages. These
              contributions are automatically invested in participant balances
              of the Polaroid ESOP Stock Fund. For purposes of calculating these
              contributions, compensation will be subject to limitations
              established by the Internal Revenue Service.


       (b)    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 $160,000.

                           December 31, 1998 and 1997



       (c)    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 $160,000.

       (d)    PARTICIPATION AND VESTING

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

       (e)    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.

       (f)    ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

              Administrative expenses are paid by the Plan unless the Company
              elects to pay them. In 1998 and 1997, this election was not made.

       (g)    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% (8.75% - 9.5%
              in 1998 and 9.25% - 9.5% in 1997).

       (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 a sub-trustee as defined by the Plan, and
              therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest.

       (i)    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:

                        POLAROID RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                           December 31, 1998 and 1997



              POLAROID COMMON STOCK FUND

              The Fund was established December 1, 1997. The assets of the Fund
              are invested in Polaroid Corporation common stock. Participants
              who are 55 or over may transfer amounts from this Fund into other
              funds.

              POLAROID ESOP STOCK FUND

              The Fund holds shares of Polaroid Corporation common stock that
              have been allocated to participants from 1988 to present. For
              participants who are at least 55 years of age and have ten or more
              years of participation in the Polaroid Employee Stock Equity Plan,
              the Company will gradually move shares from a restricted category
              into an unrestricted category within the Fund. This transfer
              allows the participant to retain the stock or transfer the asset
              to other investment options.


(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.

       (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.

       (d)    USE OF ESTIMATES

              The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
              generally accepted accounting principles requires the plan
              administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
              reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
              contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
              statements and the reported amounts of additions to and deductions
              from net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could
              differ from those estimates.

                        POLAROID RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                           December 31, 1998 and 1997



(3)    FEDERAL INCOME TAX

       On September 12, 1995, the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") issued a
       Determination letter which stated that the Polaroid Profit Sharing
       Retirement 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. On August 9, 1995,
       the IRS issued a Determination letter which stated that the Polaroid
       Employee Stock Equity Plan and its underlying trust qualify under Section
       401(a) of the Code and therefore, is exempt from federal income taxes
       under Section 501(a) of the Code. As discussed in note 1, these plans
       merged on December 1, 1997. However, the Plan sponsor believes the Plan
       is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with applicable
       requirements 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

       purposes. A reconciliation of net assets available for benefits as of

       termination of the Plan, all accounts would be distributed to the
       participants or their beneficiaries.


(8)    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.
