INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Shorewood Packaging Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Shorewood
Packaging Corporation and subsidiaries as of April 29, 1995 and April 30, 1994
and the related consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders' equity and
cash flows for the 52 weeks ended April 29, 1995, April 30, 1994 and May 1,
1993.  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 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Shorewood Packaging Corporation
and subsidiaries as of April 29, 1995 and April 30, 1994 and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for the 52 weeks ended April 29, 1995,
April 30, 1994 and May 1, 1993 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        (In thousands except share data)


1.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

             a.  Principles of consolidation

                 The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

             b.  Recognition of revenue

                 The Company reports revenue, with the related costs, in the
accounting period in which goods are shipped to the customer.

             c.  Statement of cash flows

                 The Company considers all highly liquid temporary investments
with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

             d.  Inventories

                 Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market.  Cost
is determined principally on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.  Components
of inventory include materials, labor and overhead costs.

             e.  Depreciation and amortization

                 The Company computes depreciation and amortization of
property, plant and equipment substantially by the straight-line method over
the shorter of the estimated useful lives or lease periods of the respective
assets.  The excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets of
businesses acquired is amortized over periods ranging from 10 to 40 years on a
straight-line basis.

                 The Company periodically evaluates the possible impairment of
the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired by comparing the
undiscounted cash flows from the acquired operations to the net carrying value
of the related asset.

             f.  Income taxes

                 The Company and its domestic subsidiaries file a consolidated
Federal income tax return.  Deferred taxes are provided for the income tax
effects of temporary differences in reporting transactions for financial
reporting and tax purposes.

                 The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No.109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109") during the fiscal
quarter ended August 1, 1992.  SFAS 109 changed the method of accounting for
income taxes from the deferred method to the liability method.  Under the
deferred method, deferred income taxes were recognized using the tax rates in
effect when the tax liability was first recorded and not adjusted for
subsequent changes in the tax rates until paid or recovered.  Under

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        (In thousands except share data)


the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based
on the difference between the financial accounting and tax basis of assets and
liabilities.  Deferred tax assets or liabilities at the end of each period are
determined using the currently enacted tax rate.  The impact on the provision
for income taxes for fiscal 1993 was not significant.  The cumulative effect of
this accounting change increased net earnings in 1993 by $1,150.


                 United States ("U.S.") income taxes with respect to the
undistributed earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiaries have not been
provided since it is the intention of management that the undistributed
earnings will be reinvested or transferred to the Company without giving rise
to U.S. tax liabilities.  The total amount of unremitted earnings of non-U.S.
subsidiaries was approximately $24.9 million at April 29, 1995.

             g.  Foreign currency translation

                 Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated
into U.S. dollars at fiscal period-end exchange rates and revenues and expenses
are translated on a monthly basis at weighted average exchange rates for the
respective month.  Gains and losses arising from translation are recorded as
foreign currency translation adjustments, a component of stockholders' equity.
Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in determining net
earnings.

             h.  Share information

                 Weighted average common and common equivalent shares
outstanding include the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and
warrants for all periods presented.

                 Fully diluted earnings per share has not been presented as it
is not materially different from primary earnings per share.

                 Weighted average common and common equivalent shares for the
1995 period include the effect of the shares issued upon conversion of the
Company's Convertible Subordinated Debentures since the date of conversion.
Had these shares been issued as of May 1, 1994, earnings per share for the 1995
period would have been approximately $1.15.

             i.  Business segment

                 The Company and its subsidiaries operate in one business
segment, providing printed packaging products to the entertainment, cosmetic,
tobacco and other consumer product industries.

             j.  Fiscal periods

                 Reference to 1995, 1994, and 1993 in the accompanying notes to
the consolidated financial statements refer to the fiscal periods ending April
29, 1995, April 30, 1994 and May 1, 1993, respectively.

             k.  Reclassifications

                 Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years
balances to conform with the current year's presentation.

2.           ACQUISITIONS

             Effective January 1, 1994, the Company purchased certain of the
United States and Canadian assets of the Premium Packaging Group of Cascade
Paperboard International, Inc. (the "Premium Group") for a cash purchase price
of approximately $96.9 million plus the assumption of approximately $9.9
million of liabilities (primarily accounts payable) and transaction expenses.
In addition, the Company is contingently liable for an additional $5.0 million
of consideration if certain earnings levels related to the combined operations
during the four-year period following the consummation of the transaction are
attained.  The Company has issued a warrant to the seller exercisable, subject
to the above-described contingency, for 35,000 shares of Company Common Stock
at an exercise price of $13.50 per share.  At the time of the closing of the
transaction, the Company prepaid a total of $31.9 million of Senior Notes.  The
transaction and prepayment of the Company's Senior Notes were financed with
senior credit facilities including $120 million in five-year term loans and $24
million of borrowing under a $50 million five-year revolving credit facility.
In connection with the prepayment of the Senior Notes, the Company recorded, in
the third quarter of fiscal 1994, an extraordinary charge of $3.1 million
(after related income tax benefit of $1.9 million) consisting of prepayment
penalties and the write-off of deferred finance costs.

             On January 17, 1994 the Company purchased the operating assets of
Heminway Packaging Corporation for a cash purchase price of $3.7 million plus
transaction expenses.  This transaction was financed with funds from the
Company's revolving credit facility referred to above.  The historical results
of operations of Heminway were not material to the operations of the Company.

             These acquisitions were recorded using the purchase method of
accounting and accordingly, the results of their operations are included in the
consolidated results of operations of the Company since the dates of their
respective acquisitions.  The excess of cost over the estimated fair value of
the net assets acquired approximated  $2.2 million at April 30, 1994.  During
fiscal 1995, the Company completed its determination of the allocation of the
purchase price with respect to the acquisitions.  The result was to increase
the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired by  $12.5
million, increase accrued expenses by $3.4 million and reduce property, plant
and equipment by $9.1 million.  Included in the final allocation of the
purchase price is an estimate of the cost associated with closing one of the
Premium Group's facilities.  Accumulated amortization of the excess of cost
over the fair value of net assets acquired approximated $543 in 1995 and $414
in 1994.

             The following unaudited pro forma information for 1994 includes
the operations of the Company inclusive of the operations of the Premium Group
as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the period presented,
including the impact of the Company's new financing agreement described above,
the amortization expense associated with intangible assets acquired,
adjustments related to the fair market value of the assets and liabilities of
the Premium Group as finally determined (including, among other things,
adjustment of depreciation expense) and related income tax effects.

- ---------------------
(a) In connection with the acquisition of the Premium Group and the prepayment
    of certain obligations, the Company entered into Term Note Agreements
    (totaling $96 million in the U.S. and the Canadian equivalent of $24
    million in Canada) with a syndicate of banks.  The notes are payable in
    quarterly installments beginning in August 1994, through May 1999.  The
    notes bear interest, at the discretion of the Company, at either the bank's
    prime rate (9.00% at April 29, 1995) or at the LIBOR rate (maximum
    six-month term, 6.06% to 6.38% at April 29, 1995) plus 75 basis points
    (reduced from 125 basis points during the year as determined based upon the
    Company having attained certain financial ratios as defined).  The
    effective interest rate on the Senior Term Notes ranged from 5.25% to 7.06%
    during 1995.  The Company has pledged as collateral 100% and 66%,
    respectively, of the outstanding shares of its domestic and foreign
    subsidiaries.

(b) Borrowings under this $50 million five-year revolving credit facility are
    limited to the sum of 80% of accounts receivable and 50% of inventories
    (the "Borrowing Base").  The revolving credit facility has interest terms
    and collateral similar to the Senior Term Notes and matures in May 1999.
    The interest rate on these borrowings ranged from 6.94% to 9.0% at April
    29, 1995.

(c) In September 1994, 100% of the Company's Convertible Subordinated Notes
    were converted at $13.00 per share into approximately 1.35 million shares
    of common stock.

                        (In thousands except share data)


         The underlying loan agreement for the borrowings referred to in (a)
and (b) above includes covenants related to levels of debt to cash flow,
current assets to current liabilities, fixed charge coverage, net worth and
investments  (including investments in the Company's own common stock), and
restricts the amount of retained earnings available for payment of dividends.
Retained earnings free from restrictions at April 29, 1995 approximated $14.4
million.  The agreement requires the Company to prepay the term notes to the
extent of 50% of excess cash flow as defined.  For the year ended April 29,
1995, there was no excess cash flow as defined.

Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for bank loans
with similar terms, the fair value of the senior long-term debt approximates
the carrying value.

         Aggregate maturities of long-term debt are as follows:

Interest Rate Swap/Cap Agreements

             At April 29, 1995, the Company had an outstanding
intermediate-term interest rate swap agreement relating to approximately $33
million of its Senior Term Notes.  Under the agreement, the Company pays a
fixed rate of 6.45% and receives a floating rate based on LIBOR, as determined
in 1-month intervals (ranging from 4.5% to 6.3% for 1995).  The transaction
effectively changes a portion of the Company's interest rate exposure from a
floating-rate to a fixed-rate basis.  The fair value of the interest rate swap
agreement at April 29, 1995 was immaterial to the Company.  The agreement
terminates in February, 1997.

    At April 29, 1995, the Company had an outstanding interest rate cap
agreement relating to approximately $17 million of its Senior Term Notes.
Under the agreement, the maximum LIBOR rate is 8.5%.  The company paid $71 for
this agreement, which is being amortized over the life of the agreement. The
fair value of the interest rate cap agreement at April 29, 1995 was immaterial
to the Company.  The agreement terminates in February, 1997.

     In October 1994, the Company assigned to a bank an interest rate swap
agreement relating to $42 million of its Senior Term Notes for cash proceeds
approximating $1.3 million.  The proceeds have been recorded as a deferred
credit on the accompanying balance sheet which is being amortized as a
reduction of interest expense over the remaining life of the related swap
agreement.  At April 29, 1995, $913 of deferred gain remains which will be
amortized:  $510 in 1996; $289 in 1997; and $114 in 1998.

                        (In thousands except share data)




    b.   Treasury Stock

         In January, 1993, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the
purchase of up to 2.0 million shares of the Company's Common Stock from time to
time in the open market.  Pursuant to this authorization through April 29,
1995, the Company, utilizing internally generated funds, purchased
approximately 1.2 million shares of its Common Stock for approximately $12.6
million.

    c.   New Facility

         In connection with a planned expansion of the Company's facilities,
the Company anticipates investing approximately $20 million in a new plant and
equipment, of which approximately $.8 million has been disbursed as of April
29, 1995.  Funds for this expansion are to be provided from the Company's
existing credit facilities.

    d.   Legal Matters

         In January 1995, the Company commenced a civil action in the Supreme
Court of the State of New York against the former owners of Heminway Packaging
Corporation and certain of its affiliates seeking compensatory and punitive
damages and other relief.  The suit contends that the defendants misrepresented
the financial condition and operational capabilities of the acquired business.
The Company is seeking damages in excess of $5.0 million.  In June 1995, the
defendants filed an answer and a counterclaim to the Company's complaint,
seeking compensatory damages exceeding $10.0 million and punitive damages of
$7.7 million.  Management intends to pursue its claims against the defendants
and to vigorously defend the counter claim, and believes that the ultimate
outcome of these cases will not have a material adverse effect on the
operations or financial condition of the Company.

    e.   Other Matters

         On a continuing basis, the Company monitors its compliance with
applicable environmental laws and regulations.  As part of this process the
Company cooperates with appropriate governmental authorities to perform any
necessary testing and compliance procedures.  The purchase agreements relating
to the acquisition of the Acquired Companies indemnify the Company from all
costs and expenses relating to environmental matters which existed at the
acquired facilities on or prior to the respective closing dates.  The Company
is not currently aware of  any environmental compliance matters that it
believes will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

9.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

         a.  Stock Incentive Plans

         In August 1986, the Company established a nonqualified stock option
plan (the "1986 Plan") and authorized the issuance of options to purchase an
aggregate 847,500 shares of common stock to key

employees, officers and directors at the market price at the date of the grant.
In October 1990, the Company made available for future grant options to acquire
an additional 600,000 shares of common stock under a nonqualified 1990 Stock
Option Plan (the "1990 Plan").  The 1990 Plan is in all material respects
identical to the original nonqualified stock plan.  In July 1993, the Company
established the 1993 Incentive Program (the "1993 Program").  The 1993 Program
permits the granting of any or all of the following types of awards: (1) stock
options, including incentive stock options ("ISO's"), (2) stock appreciation
rights ("SAR's"), in tandem with stock options or freestanding, (3) restricted
stock, (4) directors' options to be issued pursuant to a prescribed formula and
(5) restored options.  Under the 1993 Program, an additional 1 million shares
were made available for grant.  Options become exercisable over four years from
the date of grant at a rate of 25% each year, and expire five years from the
date of grant. Future grants of options will be exercisable over five years
from the date of grant at the rate of 20% of the grant each year and will
expire 10 years from the date of grant.

         A summary of changes in stock options and awards follows:

portion or all of the shares may vest at the end of fiscal 1997 based upon the
market performance of the Company's common stock.  Any shares that do not vest
at such time will otherwise vest at the end of fiscal 2002 if the employee
continues to be employed by the Company.


         b.   Common Stock Purchase Warrants

         During fiscal 1993 and the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company
issued  Warrants to purchase 300,000 shares and 100,000 shares of its Common
Stock at exercise prices of $6.88 and $13.50 per share, respectively, to a
customer who concurrently entered into long-term supply agreements with the
Company.  The customer has the choice of either exercising the Warrants or
receiving a cash volume discount based upon certain minimum levels of purchases
from the Company during the terms of the supply agreements.  The Warrants are
exercisable immediately whereas the cash volume rebate, if any, is payable
after the expiration of the supply agreements.  The Warrants expire August 22,
1997 and August 31, 1998, respectively.  At such time as the customer may
choose to exercise either of the Warrants, the related accrued cash rebate will
be transferred to additional paid in capital.  The fair values of the Warrants
at their dates of issuance were determined to be $855 and $502, respectively,
and are included in the balance sheet net of a deferred contra account in like
amount.  As of April 29, 1995, the Company continues to believe that the
customer will exercise the first Warrant and continues to accrue volume
discounts based upon sales with respect to the second Warrant.

         c.             Reserved Shares

         At April 29, 1995, 2,073,149 common shares were reserved for issuance
under the stock incentive plans and outstanding warrants .

         d.             Preferred Stock Purchase Rights

         On May 4, 1995, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of one
preferred share purchase right (a "Right") for each outstanding share of common
stock.  Each Right entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one
one-hundredth of a share of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock at a
price of $17.00 per one one-hundredth of a preferred share.  The Rights are
exercisable only if an acquiring person acquires, or announces the intention to
acquire, 25% or more beneficial ownership of the outstanding common shares.
The effect of the Rights plan is to provide to the Company's stockholders the
right, upon the occurrence of an acquisition, tender offer or business
combination transaction, to exchange the preferred shares for common stock at a
fraction of the then-current market price of the common stock.  The Rights
expire on June 14, 2005 unless extended.  The Rights are subject to other
restrictions and terms as described in the Rights Agreement.

         CIGNA Corporation and its affiliates ("CIGNA"), was the holder of
$15.0 million of the Company's debentures, which upon conversion represented
1.15 million shares of common stock.  Accordingly, CIGNA has been considered a
beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding stock of the Company for
all of the periods presented.  Amounts paid to CIGNA for interest and insurance
costs for 1995 were $685, as compared to $2,918 in 1994, and $3,711 in 1993.
In addition, in connection with the financing of the acquisition of the Premium
Group in January, 1994, the Company prepaid $16.9 million of Senior Notes due
to CIGNA, and incurred a pre-tax prepayment penalty to CIGNA of $2.3 million.
This penalty is included in the 1994  financial statements as a part of the
total extraordinary item of approximately $3.1 million (after income tax
benefit of $1.9 million).

         In connection with the acquisition of the Premium Group and related
financing, the Company paid a fee of $1.5 million to a firm whose president and
principal shareholder is a director of the Company.  In addition, the firm
holds an option to purchase 14,821 common shares at an exercise price of $5.02
per share.

10.      RESTRUCTURING CHARGE

         As a result of the discontinued use of the long-box as a packaging
medium for compact discs and the related diminished level of sales, the Company
decided at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 1994 to close its
Farmingdale, New York facility effective as of April 30, 1994.  In connection
with the closing of this facility and the restructuring of the Company's
operations relating thereto, the Company recorded a restructuring charge before
provision for income taxes amounting to $3.4 million during 1994.  Included in
this charge are amounts provided for the termination of leases ($530), disposal
of equipment ($1,020), severance payments ($750) and other related
restructuring items ($1,100).  With the exception of the lease commitments, all
of the respective cash outlays related to the closing of the facility were made
by the end of 1995.

11.      EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

         (a)  Defined Contribution Plans

         The Company has profit sharing plans as well as employee savings
plans.  Based upon the provisions of each employee savings plan, the Company
matches a portion of the employees' voluntary contributions.  The amounts
contributed to the profit sharing plan in the United States are at the
discretion of the Board of Directors, whereas the amounts contributed to the
profit sharing plans in Canada are at the percentages provided for by the
respective plans.  Total provisions with respect to defined contribution plans
approximated $1,613, $977 and $824 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

         (b)  Defined Benefit Plans

         In connection with the acquisitions of the Premium Group and Heminway,
the Company assumed the obligations related to two defined benefit pension
plans covering union employees.  In addition, the Company established a frozen
plan to accept assets to be transferred from a Premium Group defined benefit
pension plan, which assets relate to non-union employees who have been
transferred to and are now employees of the Company.

         The following table sets forth the funded status of the Plans as of
April 29, 1995 and April 30, 1994:
