Restructuring Plan
- - - ------------------
    In the Second Quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company announced a $1,777,000
    restructuring charge which was reported as a separate charge for the twenty
    six weeks ended September 26, 1993.  The restructuring charge primarily
    included the costs associated with consolidating operations and closing and
    disposing of the Lockport, Illinois facility.  In August 1994, the Company
    completed the sale of its Lockport facility and the restructuring plan was
    essentially completed as of October 2, 1994.

Extraordinary Charge
- - - --------------------
    The Company entered into a new financing agreement.  Accordingly, the
    prepayment fees associated with the previous financing agreement have been
    expensed.

Operations
- - - ----------

Results of Operations

Thirteen Weeks Ended January 1, 1995 Compared to Thirteen Weeks Ended December 
26, 1993

         Overall fiscal 1995 third quarter results were negatively impacted by
         an accrual of $1,373,000 to cover accounts receivable, inventory, and
         estimated customer claims to reflect the effects of blocking (sticking
         together) of labels.  The accrual negatively impacted net sales by
         $781,000, cost of goods sold by $537,000, and selling, general, and
         administrative expenses by $55,000.  Excluding these costs associated
         with blocking, the Company's operating loss for the thirteen weeks
         would have been $264,000.  This compares favorably with the $706,000
         operating loss incurred in the same period a year ago.

         Net sales decreased $1,487,000 or 9.3%, in the third quarter as
         compared to the same quarter of the previous year. Of the decrease in
         sales 52% ($781,000) was directly related to the accrual for blocking.
         The remaining decrease in sales was due primarily to a (21%) $960,000
         increase in plastic in-mold sales offset by a (15%) $1,274,000
         decrease in conventional label business.  The decrease in the
         conventional business was due primarily from lost business in the
         printed stamp and cigarette product areas.  Higher levels of plastic
         in-mold sales are expected to continue in future periods due to higher
         volumes to existing customers and new business.

         Gross profit decreased $991,000 as compared to the previous year.  The
         decrease was primarily due to the accrual for blocking and lower sales
         volumes.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $60,000 as
         compared to the same quarter of the previous year.  The decline
         reflects costs reductions from the Company's restructuring program.

         Interest expense increased $6,000 due to higher borrowings on the
         Revolving Line of Credit.

         The net loss for the period was $1,967,000 [$(.91) per share] as
         compared to a net loss of $641,000 [$(.30) per share] in the same
         period last year.  Excluding the accrual for blocking, the net loss
         would have been $594,000 [$(.27) per share] compared to $641,000
         [$(.30) per share] a year ago.

Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended January 1, 1995 Compared to the Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended
December 26, 1993

         Overall fiscal 1995 year-to-date results were negatively impacted by
         an accrual of $1,373,000 to cover accounts receivable, inventory, and
         estimated customer claims to reflect the effects of blocking (sticking
         together) of labels.  The accrual negatively impacted net sales by
         $781,000, cost of goods sold by $537,000, and selling, general, and
         administrative expenses by $55,000.  Excluding the $1,373,000 accrual
         for blocking in the thirty-nine week period, the Company's operating
         loss would have been $569,000 compared to $3,879,000 a year ago.

         Net sales decreased $2,797,000 or 6% during the first nine months as
         compared to the same prior year period.  The decrease in sales was due
         primarily to a 23% ($3,133,000) increase in plastic in-mold sales
         offset by a 18% ($4,698,000) decline in conventional label business.
         Additionally, net sales were negatively impacted by an accrual for
         blocking (sticking together) of labels to cover accounts receivable
         and estimated customer claims.

         Gross profit increased $81,000 during the first nine months as
         compared to the same prior year period.  Gross profit was favorably
         impacted by higher levels of in-mold sales, higher sales and improved
         efficiencies at the Graphics Division offset by the impact of the
         blocking accrual and lower conventional sales volumes.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $6,000 compared
         to the same prior year period.  The main reason for the increase was
         utilization of an outside consultant during the first quarter to
         assist with the Company's restructuring initiative ($156,000) offset
         by reductions in selling expense during the second and third quarters.

         Interest expense increased $224,000 due to higher interest rates on
         the Company' entire credit facility during the first quarter when the
         credit facility was financed by another lender coupled with higher
         borrowings on the Revolving Line of Credit and higher interest rates
         on the Industrial Revenue Bonds during the second and third quarters.

         The Company recorded an extraordinary item of $225,000 [$(.10) per
         share] representing the termination fee paid to Barclay's Business
         Credit, Inc. associated with the Company's refinancing.

         The net loss for the period was $3,202,000 [$(1.48) per share] as
         compared to a net loss of $2,836,000 [$(1.32) per share] in the same
         prior year period.  Last year's results included a $1,777,000
         restructuring charge but recognized a tax benefit of $1,904,000
         compared to a $100,000 tax benefit this year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Through the third quarter ended January 1, 1995, net cash used in
         operating activities was $2,424,000 as compared to $895,000 of net
         cash provided by operating activities through the third quarter ended
         December 26, 1993.  Net cash used in operating activities increased
         due to the interim net losses and higher levels of inventory.

         At January 1, 1995, the Company's net working capital and current
         ratio were ($14,992,000) and .53 to 1, respectively, as compared to
         net working capital of $2,754,000 and a current ratio of 1.20 to 1 as
         of April 3, 1994.  The net working capital decrease and deterioration
         in the working capital ratio are attributable to higher levels of
         inventory, and more importantly, the classification of the revolving
         loan and term financing as short term debt as a result of the
         Company's violation of certain covenants under the Company's Credit
         agreement with PNC Bank Ohio National Association, and Star Bank
         National Association.

         The Credit Agreement extends through July 1997 and is secured by all
         of the Company's assets.  This agreement increases the available
         borrowings under the revolving line of credit up to a maximum of $5
         million, subject to certain borrowing base limitations, and provides
         for up to an additional $1.4 term loan liquidity and enables the
         Company to facilitate completion of the restructuring plan and improve
         operating performance.  As of January 1, 1995, approximately $650,000
         was available for borrowing under the revolving line of credit.  The
         revolving credit line currently bears interest at Prime plus 1.00%.

         At January 1, 1995, the Company was current in its principal and
         interest payments on all debt.  However, as of that date, the Company
         did fail to meet the Current Ratio, Leverage Ratio and Cash Flow
         Coverage Ratios set forth in the Credit Agreement.  The Company has
         received a waiver from its lenders with respect to these violations
         until April 2, 1995.  In connection with the waiver, the Credit
         Agreement was amended to limit borrowing available under the Revolving
         portion of the loan agreement to $5,000,000 regardless of the
         borrowing base and increased the interest rate and fees applicable to
         the borrowings under the loan agreement.   Additionally, the $1.4
         million term loan and lease lines are available only on a case by case
         basis with bank approval.  At January 1, 1995, the Company had
         $650,000 in available credit under this revised Credit Agreement.

         The following table compares the actual results of the Company's
         financial covenants at January 1, 1995, the measurement date, with the
         required financial covenants and sets forth the financial covenants
         through fiscal 1995:

         Net capital expenditures during the first nine months were $717,000.
         The greater part of these expenditures were for bases, maintenance 
         capital and finishing line equipment.  The Company expects to spend
         $400,000 on capital projects during the remainder of fiscal 1995, if
         sufficient cashflow is available.

         In August 1994, the Company completed the sale of its Lockport
         facility primarily for a $450,000 Promissory Note bearing interest at
         9% per annum and due in July 1999.  Principal and interest are
         amortized pursuant to a 15 year amortization schedule.  The Note is
         secured by a mortgage on the Lockport facility.

         Current available borrowings, leases and cash flow from operating
         activities is expected to be sufficient to satisfy substantially all
         of the Company's working capital and capital expenditure needs.

                     SECOND AMENDMENT AND WAIVER AGREEMENT
                     -------------------------------------
         MULTI-COLOR CORPORATION, an Ohio corporation (the "Company"), PNC
BANK, OHIO, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION and STAR BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (each
individually a "Lender" and collectively the "Lenders") and PNC BANK, OHIO,
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as agent for the Lenders (the "Agent"), hereby agree as
follows effective as of January 1, 1995 ("Effective Date"):

         1.      RECITALS.
                 --------
                 1.1      On July 15, 1994 the Company, the Lenders and the
Agent entered into a Credit, Reimbursement and Security Agreement which has
been amended by a First Amendment and Waiver Agreement (as amended, the "Credit
Agreement").  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein
will have the meanings given such terms in the Credit Agreement.

                 1.2      The Company has requested that the Lenders waive
certain Events of Default under the Credit Agreement and amend the Credit
Agreement and the Lenders are willing to do so subject to and in accordance
with the terms of this Second Amendment and Waiver Agreement (the "Second
Amendment").

         2.      AMENDMENTS.  The Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
                 ----------
                 2.1      Section 1.1.10 of the Credit Agreement is amended in
