                         Report of Independent Auditors

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Kroy, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We  have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Kroy, Inc.  and
subsidiaries  as  of  March  31,  1997 and 1996  and  the  related  consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly,  in
all  material  respects, the consolidated financial position of Kroy,  Inc.  and
subsidiaries at March 31, 1997 and 1996, and the consolidated results  of  their
operations  and  their cash flows for the years then ended, in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

The  accompanying  financial statements have been prepared assuming  that  Kroy,
Inc. and subsidiaries will continue as a going concern.  As more fully described
in  Note 2, the Company has incurred a significant net loss in the recent period
and  has  not  complied  with certain covenants of loan agreements  with  banks.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue
as  a  going  concern.  Management's plans in regard to these matters  are  also
described in Note 2.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments to
reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification  of
assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

1. The Company and Its Reorganization

The  Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Minnesota  for  the
principle  purpose of engaging in the design, manufacture, and sale of lettering
products principally in the United States and Europe.

On December 23, 1986, members of Kroy Inc.'s then management and other investors
purchased  all  the  Company's outstanding common stock in a  leveraged  buyout.
Until  that date, Kroy Inc.'s common stock had been publicly traded in the over-
the-counter  market.   On  May  15, 1990, Kroy Inc.  and  its  subsidiary,  Kroy
(Europe) Limited, filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter  11
of  the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court  for
the  District  of  Arizona (the "Bankruptcy Court").  On August  10,  1990,  the
Company's First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (the "Reorganization Plan")
was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court.

On  November  16,  1990,  after obtaining new equity  and  debt  financing,  the
Company's  Reorganization  Plan became effective  and  distributions  under  the
Reorganization  Plan  commenced.  The Company accounted for  the  reorganization
using  fresh-start reporting as prescribed by AICPA Statement of Position  90-7,
"Financial  Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the  Bankruptcy  Code"
(SOP  90-7).   Accordingly, all assets were restated as of the plan confirmation
date  to reflect the reorganization value, which approximated fair value at  the
date of reorganization.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kroy,
Inc.  and  its wholly owned subsidiaries, Kroy (Europe) Limited, Kroy  (Germany)
GmbH,   and  Kroy  France  SARL  (collectively  the  "Company").   All  material
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash  and  cash equivalents consist of cash in interest and noninterest  bearing
checking  accounts with maturity dates of less than three months  from  date  of
purchase.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost.  Cost (which represents fair
value)  of  assets purchased prior to November 17, 1990 represents the appraised
value  of  the  asset, unless the expected future use of the asset  indicates  a
lower value, in which case the asset is valued at the lower value.  Depreciation
is  provided  on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful  lives  of  the
assets.

Reorganization Value in Excess of Amounts Allocable to Identifiable Assets

Reorganization  value  in  excess of amounts allocable  to  identifiable  assets
related  to  the  reorganization of the Company represents  the  excess  of  the
reorganization  value over the fair value of identifiable assets  and  is  being
amortized over twenty years using the straight-line method.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB)  Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."  Under  Statement  No.
109,  the  liability method is used in accounting for income taxes.  Under  this
method,  deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences
between  financial  reporting and tax bases of assets and  liabilities  and  are
measured  using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect  when  the
differences are expected to reverse.

Advertising Costs

The  Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.  The total amounts  charged
to  advertising expense were approximately $1,192,000 for the year  ended  March
31, 1997 and $1,011,000 for the year ended March 31, 1996.

Net Income (loss) per share

Net income (loss) per common share has been computed by dividing net income
(loss) by the number of shares outstanding, which for the years ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996 were $(25.58) and $1.05, respectively.

Use of Estimates

The  preparation  of  the consolidated 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.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The  carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts
payable,  and  borrowings under the revolving credit agreement reported  in  the
consolidated balance sheets approximate their fair value.

Basis of Presentation

The  Company  has  experienced a large net loss in the recent period  which  has
weakened  its  financial condition and created violations of its debt  covenants
which  have  not been waived by the bank.  Accordingly, all of its  debt  is  in
default  and has been classified as current.  These conditions raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial
statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects
on  the  recoverability  and  classifications  of  assets  or  the  amounts  and
classification  of  liabilities  that  may  result  from  the  outcome  of  this
uncertainty.

Management's plans with respect to this matter are to seek additional sources of
financing  to  meet  its immediate and long-term needs and to improve  operating
results through sales programs and cost control programs.  However, there is  no
assurance  that  the  Company will be able to obtain the  financing  sources  it
requires  or  that it will be able to return to profitability  so  that  it  can
continue in operation.

3. Inventories

Inventories consist of the following:

                                               March 31

During  the year ended March 31, 1996, the Company entered into a sale-leaseback
transaction  whereby  they  sold the land and building  at  their  manufacturing
facility in Osceola, Wisconsin.  As a result of the sale, the Company recorded a
gain  of  approximately $558,000, net of selling expenses.  The  gain  has  been
included in other income in the consolidated financial statements.

Long-term debt consists of the following:
                                                                  March 31

5. Long-Term Debt (continued)

The Company is not in compliance with certain financial and other loan covenants
at  March  31, 1997, and has not received a waiver of these covenant violations.
Accordingly,  all of its long-term debt has been classified as  current.   While
the  lender  has  not called the loan due, they have such right and  the  entire
portion  of  the  debt  has been classified as current.  Management  is  seeking
additional sources of financing to meet its immediate and long-term needs.

The  revolver  allows  the Company to borrow an amount  up  to  $6,000,000,  but
restricts  the  borrowings based on receivable and inventory levels.   The  term
loan  and  revolver  are collateralized by substantially all  of  the  Company's
assets,  and  contain certain covenants, the more restrictive of which  prohibit
the payment of dividends, limit investments in marketable securities and capital
expenditures,  and require the Company to comply with certain financial  ratios.
As of March 31, 1997, no funds were available for borrowings under its revolver.

The  income  tax expense (benefit) differs from the amount computed by  applying
the  federal  statutory rate for the years ended March 31, 1997  and  1996,  due
primarily  to  increases  in  the valuation reserve  of  $602,000  in  1997  and
amortization of intangibles which are not deductible for tax purposes.

The Company files consolidated income tax returns with Kroy Holding Company, its
85  percent  owner  and  effective January 1, 1996 is further  consolidated  for
federal  income  tax  purposes with Heller Equity Capital Corporation  (Heller).
The  tax  provisions set forth herein relate solely to Kroy,  Inc.  and  do  not
reflect  tax  benefits related to the results of operations of  other  companies
which  join  in  a  consolidated tax filing with Heller.  The  Company  has  tax
sharing arrangements

with  Kroy  Holding Company (KHC) and Heller.  At March 31, 1997, the  Company's
income  tax payable includes a liability of $464,000 due to KHC for use  of  KHC
tax  losses  from  prior  years. During 1997, a portion  of  the  Company's  net
operating losses were eligible for carryback under built-in loss rules  for  tax
attributes  economically  accrued prior to the Heller tax  sharing  arrangement.
The  Company  has  reduced  its income tax payable by $365,000  for  the  refund
available through this carryback.  Under the Heller tax sharing arrangement, the
Company  and  KHC  are to pay Heller any taxes due as if they  were  a  separate
consolidated  group  for federal income tax purposes.  At March  31,  1997,  the
Company  has approximately $1,000,000 of net operating loss carryforwards  which
under  the  Heller tax sharing arrangement can only be recovered through  future
taxable  income relating to periods in which the Company will be included  in  a
consolidated tax filing with Heller.  The Company has provided for  a  valuation
reserve  against the future tax benefit of this net operating loss carryforward.
During  the year ended March 31, 1997, the Company received an income tax refund
of  $192,000 and in 1996, the Company made payments related to income  taxes  in
the amount of $10,000.

7. Commitments (continued)

Total  rental  expense for all operating leases was approximately  $965,000  and
$959,000 for the years ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Legal Judgment

During 1997, the Company was sued by another party which claimed an improper use
of  its  trade secret information to stop the infringement of a Company  patent.
The initial trial resulted in a judgment against the Company in the total amount
of  approximately $630,000.  The Company believes the judgment is not proper and
has  begun  the  appeals process to reverse the judgment.   However,  given  the
uncertainty  of certain legal matters, the Company has recorded a liability  for
the  judgment and estimated legal costs at March 31, 1997 which is  included  in
other liabilities.

8. Benefit Plan

The  Company has a defined contribution 401(k) benefit plan (401(k) Plan)  which
covers  all  employees who have completed one year of service and have  attained
age  21.  Under the terms of the 401(k) Plan, employees may contribute up to  15
percent  of their salary to the 401(k) Plan, subject to Internal Revenue Service
limitations.   The  Company  will match a percentage of  employee  contributions
based  upon consolidated earnings each year.  The Company recorded approximately
$91,400 of contribution expense during the year ended March 31, 1997 and $81,000
during the year ended March 31, 1996.

9. Restructuring Charges

During  1997, the Company performed a comprehensive evaluation of its  personnel
in  light  of  its  future  manufacturing, sales and distribution  plans.   This
resulted in additional costs relating to personnel changes and business  process
modifications  that  management  believes are  outside  of  its  normal  ongoing
operating  cost.   Accordingly, the Company recorded  restructuring  charges  of
$597,000 related to these matters.

10. Subsequent Event

The  Company  has engaged an investment banking firm to assist  in  meeting  its
financial  needs through sale or investment.  This agreement calls  for  certain
minimum fees and a contingent payment based upon the outcome.  Relating to  this
arrangement, subsequent to March 31, 1997, the Company has entered into a letter
of  intent to sell the assets of the Company to an unrelated third party.  There
can  be no assurances of the final terms of the proposed transaction or that the
transaction will occur at all.
