INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT



Board of Directors
Queens Group, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Queens Group, Inc.
and Affiliates as of December 28, 1997 and December 29, 1996 and the related
combined statements of income, owners' equity, and cash flows for the years then
ended. 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, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Queens Group, Inc.
and Affiliates as of December 28, 1997 and December 29, 1996, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

                                          NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                                               DECEMBER 28, 1997



  1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT  The combined financial statements include the
      ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND accounts of Queens Group, Inc. and Queens Group -
      PRINCIPAL BUSINESS      Weaverville, Inc. (collectively the "Printing
      ACTIVITY:               Group") and the accounts of Allmond Realty Co.,
                              Talmadge Realty Co., Belmont Realty Co., Barwood
                              Associates, Barnett Leasing Company, Talmadge
                              Leasing Company, Weaverville Realty Company, LLC
                              and Mount Holly Enterprises, Inc. (collectively
                              the "Leasing Group"). The Printing Group and the
                              Leasing Group are collectively referred to as the
                              "Company." These entities are related through
                              substantially similar ownership. All material
                              intercompany accounts and transactions have been
                              eliminated in the combined financial statements.

                              Queens Group - Weaverville, Inc. ("QGWI"),
                              formerly known as Queens Group - New York, Inc.,
                              was an inactive company prior to August 1997. At
                              that time QGWI purchased certain assets, commenced
                              operations and became part of the Printing Group.
                              The accounts of QGWI were transferred into the
                              Printing Group at their historical basis as
                              ownership was substantially similar to that of the
                              Company.

                              The combined financial statements for 1996 include
                              the accounts of Queens Group - Indiana, Inc.,
                              Queens Group - Kentucky, Inc. and Queens Group -
                              New Jersey, Inc. which were each merged into
                              Queens Group, Inc. on December 29, 1996.

                              The Printing Group reports on a 52/53-week fiscal
                              year ending on the Sunday nearest to December 31.
                              The Leasing Group reports on a calendar year
                              ending on December 31. Both groups are reflected
                              in the combined financial statements of the
                              Company. There would be no material changes to the
                              financial position, results of operations or cash
                              flows of the Leasing Group if its year were
                              reflected in the same manner as the Printing
                              Group.

                              The Printing Group is in the business of
                              commercial printing and manufacturing high quality
                              packaging for the multimedia, entertainment,
                              pharmaceutical and general consumer products
                              industries.

                              The Leasing Group is in the business of leasing
                              real property and equipment, substantially all of
                              which is leased to the Printing Group.

                              The entities in the Leasing Group are organized as
                              partnerships (the "Partnerships"), except Mount
                              Holly Enterprises, Inc. which is organized as a
                              corporation, and Weaverville Realty Company, LLC
                              which is organized as a limited liability company.

                              These combined financial statements have been
                              prepared in conformity with generally accepted
                              accounting principles which require the use of
                              estimates by management.

                              Sales revenue for the Printing Group is recognized
                              on the date the merchandise is shipped.

                              Inventories are stated at the lower of cost,
                              determined by the first-in, first-out method, or
                              market. Components of inventories include
                              materials, labor and overhead costs.

                              Depreciation and amortization of property, plant
                              and equipment is being provided for by
                              straight-line and accelerated methods over the
                              estimated useful lives of the assets.

                                          NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                                               DECEMBER 28, 1997


                              Deferred bond and mortgage costs capitalized as
                              part of the financing of real estate owned are
                              amortized over the life of the related bond or
                              mortgage and are included in other assets in the
                              accompanying combined financial statements.

                              The stockholders of the Company have consented
                              that the corporations be treated as small business
                              corporations ("S Corporations") for federal income
                              tax purposes and, where available, state income
                              tax purposes under the applicable sections of the
                              Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and state tax
                              regulations. In addition, the Partnerships and
                              Limited Liability Company are not responsible for
                              payment of income taxes. Accordingly, there is no
                              provision for federal taxes on the Partnerships,
                              Limited Liability Company or the S Corporations
                              ("Flow-through Entities") as such earnings will
                              flow through directly to the Company's partners,
                              members and stockholders. Certain of the states
                              for which the Company has elected S Corporation
                              status impose income taxes on S Corporations at
                              reduced rates. The provision for income taxes
                              represents current state and local income taxes to
                              which the Company is subject.

                              Since it is the Company's intention to make
                              distributions to fund the owners' income tax
                              obligations arising from the flow-through of its
                              earnings, distributions made subsequent to
                              year-end related to the prior year's earnings are
                              accrued as distributions payable as of year-end.

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

                              The Company maintains cash with major banks in
                              deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed
                              federally insured limits. The Company has not
                              experienced any losses on these deposits. Excess
                              cash may be invested in money market funds or
                              other short-term, income-producing securities.

                              Management does not believe that any recently
                              issued, but not yet effective, accounting
                              standards if currently adopted would have a
                              material effect on the accompanying combined
                              financial statements.

                              with a bank in the amount of $25,000,000, of which
                              $9,655,000 is available at December 28, 1997.
                              Borrowings under the equipment line bear interest
                              at rates ranging from .65% to 1.00% (subject to
                              maintaining certain financial ratios) above LIBOR
                              and are due at various dates through 2002. These
                              loans are collateralized by substantially all of
                              the Printing Group's equipment. The Printing Group
                              also has a $2,000,000 revolving line, all of which
                              is available at December 28, 1997. The credit
                              agreement under which these lines are provided
                              contains certain financial covenants and places
                              limitations on capital expenditures.

                              The Leasing Group has various mortgage notes and
                              loans payable. These borrowings bear interest at
                              rates ranging from fixed rates of 5.1% to 8.25%
                              per annum, and variable rates based on LIBOR or
                              the bank's prime lending rate. Final installments
                              are due at various dates through October 2004. The
                              mortgages are collateralized by land and
                              buildings.

                              letter of credit, which in turn is collateralized
                              by a security interest in land, building and
                              equipment. Interest on the IRBs is payable at a
                              floating rate. The weighted-average interest rate
                              for 1997 (excluding other debt-related costs such
                              as letter of credit fees) was 3.89%. The final
                              installment is due on May 1, 2004.

                              Notes payable - former stockholder bear interest

                                          NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           FOR THE 39 WEEKS ENDED SEPTEMBER 27, 1998 (UNAUDITED)

 1.    GENERAL:               The unaudited interim financial information
                              reflects all adjustments (consisting only of
                              normal recurring accruals) which management
                              considers necessary for a fair presentation of the
                              results of operations for such periods and is
                              subject to year-end adjustments. Certain footnote
                              disclosures normally included in financial
                              statements prepared in accordance with generally
                              accepted accounting principles have been condensed
                              or omitted from the unaudited interim financial
                              information as permitted by rules and regulations
                              of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
                              Management believes that the disclosures made are
                              adequate to make the information presented not
                              misleading. The results for the interim period are
                              not necessarily indicative of results for the full
                              year. It is suggested that these financial
                              statements be read in conjunction with Queens
                              Group, Inc. and Affiliates audited financial
                              statements and notes thereto for the years ended

                                          NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           FOR THE 39 WEEKS ENDED SEPTEMBER 27, 1998 (UNAUDITED)

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

                               The Company maintains cash deposits with major
                               banks. The Company has not experienced any losses
                               on these deposits. Excess cash may be invested in
                               money market funds or other short-term,
                               income-producing securities.

                               Inventories are stated at the lower of cost,
                               determined by the first-in, first-out method, or
                               market. Components of inventories include
                               materials, labor and overhead costs.

                               Depreciation and amortization of property, plant
                               and equipment is being provided for by
                               straight-line and accelerated methods over the
                               estimated useful lives of the assets.

                               Deferred bond and mortgage costs capitalized as
                               part of the financing of real estate owned are
                               amortized over the life of the related bond or
                               mortgage and are included in other assets in the
                               accompanying combined balance sheet.

                               The Company periodically evaluates the possible
                               impairment of property, plant and equipment by
                               comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash
                               flows from the assets to the net carrying value
                               of the related asset.

                               The stockholders of the Company have consented
                               that the corporations be treated as small
                               business corporations ("S Corporations") for
                               federal income tax purposes and, where available,
                               state income tax purposes under the applicable
                               sections of the Internal Revenue Code (the
                               "Code") and state tax regulations. In addition,
                               the Partnerships and Limited Liability Company
                               are not responsible for payment of income taxes.
                               Accordingly, there is no provision for federal
                               taxes on the Partnerships, Limited Liability
                               Company or the S Corporations as such earnings
                               will flow through directly to the Company's
                               partners, members and stockholders. Certain of
                               the states for which the Company has elected S
                               Corporation status impose income taxes on S
                               Corporations at reduced rates. The liability for
                               income taxes represents current state and local
                               income taxes to which the Company is subject.

                               Since it is the Company's intention to make
                               distributions to fund the owners' income tax
                               obligations arising from the flow-through of its
                               earnings, distributions made subsequent to
                               September 27, 1998 related to earnings prior to
                               September 27, 1998 are accrued as distributions
                               payable.

                               Derivative financial instruments are used by the
                               Company in the management of its interest rate
                               exposures and are accounted for on the accrual
                               basis.

                               The preparation of financial statements in
                               conformity with generally accepted accounting
                               principles requires management 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 revenues and expenses during the
                               reporting period. Actual results could differ
                               from those estimates.

 4.    COMMITMENTS            The Company is subject to various federal, state
       AND                    and local laws and regulations governing
       CONTINGENCIES:         environmental matters, including the use,
                              discharge and disposal of hazardous materials. The
                              Company recently became aware of potential
                              environmental matters at its Indiana facility and
                              has engaged an independent consultant to assist
                              management in evaluating the potential liabilities
                              related to these matters. These matters include
                              soil and groundwater contamination. The estimated
                              range of reasonably possible costs of further
                              investigation and remediation is between $55,000
                              and $585,000.

 5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:        On October 30, 1998, Shorewood Packaging
                              Corporation ("Shorewood") purchased substantially
                              all of the assets and assumed substantially all of
                              the liabilities of the Company for a purchase
                              price of $129.5 million comprised of approximately
                              $113.7 million in cash including the assumption of
                              debt, and 1.0 million shares of Shorewood common
                              stock. Simultaneously with the closing of the
                              transaction, Shorewood repaid substantially all
                              the outstanding debt of the Company, approximating
                              $19.0 million.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION


The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of earnings give
pro forma effect to the completion of the acquisition of the printing and
packaging business and substantially all the assets of Queens Group, Inc.
("Queens") and certain entities affiliated with Queens, as if it had occurred at
May 4, 1997. Queens was acquired effective September 28, 1998 and is therefore
included in the Company's unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of October 31,
1998 included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed on December
15, 1998. Thus, a pro forma balance sheet has been omitted from the pro forma
presentation. This pro forma information should be read in conjunction with the
historical financial statements of Shorewood Packaging Corporation ("Shorewood"
or the "Company") included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 52 weeks
ended May 2, 1998 and in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the 26 weeks
ended October 31, 1998, and the historical financial statements of Queens
appearing elsewhere herein.

The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the acquisition on the
purchase method of accounting are based on available financial information and
certain estimates and assumptions set forth in the notes to the Unaudited Pro
Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Earnings.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of earnings are
presented for illustration purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of
the future results of operations of the combined businesses or the results of
operations of the combined businesses had the acquisition occurred on May 4,
1997. For purposes of preparing its consolidated financial statements, Shorewood
will establish a new basis for Queens' assets and liabilities based upon the
fair values thereof and Queens' purchase price thereof, including the costs of
the acquisition. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of
Earnings reflect Shorewood's best estimates; however, the actual results of
operations may differ from the pro forma amounts.
