                          REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Board of Directors
and Shareholders of Stone Products Corporation


In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related
consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and of cash flows
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Stone
Products Corporation and its subsidiary at March 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  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 of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the
audits 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,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

1.  ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

    On August 28, 1991, Saxum House, Limited purchased from the former
    shareholders of Stucco Stone Products, Inc. all of their outstanding common
    stock.  The Company was subsequently renamed Stone Products Corporation
    (the "Company").  The Company manufactures precast stone products and sells
    its products worldwide, mainly to the construction industry.

    The Company sells the majority of its products within the United States.
    Such sales represented 83% of net sales for the year ended March 31, 1996.
    Sales within California represented 20% of net sales during fiscal 1996.
    The Company also sells its products in foreign markets through
    distributors.  Sales to the Company's sole distributor in Japan, Kowa
    Company, Ltd. ("Kowa"), represented 10% of net sales for the year ended
    March 31, 1996 (Note 10).

    PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Stone
    Products Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Carriage Hill Stone
    Company.  All material intercompany transactions and balances have been
    eliminated in consolidation.

    ACQUISITIONS AND INVESTMENTS
    As part of the purchase of Stucco Stone Products, Inc., the Company entered
    into non-compete agreements with several former shareholders/key employees
    which require the Company to pay a total of $1,500,000 in consideration for
    the former shareholders/key employees' agreement not to compete with the
    Company for a period of five years.  This amount is payable in five equal
    annual installments each August 28.

    In June 1993, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with
    Industrias Perdura to form Perdura Stone, a company incorporated in Mexico.
    Perdura Stone manufactures and markets Cultured Stone-Registered Trademark-
    products in Mexico.  At March 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company's 40% equity
    interest in Perdura Stone totaled $162,900, which represents the value of
    molds and technology contributed to the joint venture.  The Company
    believes the devaluation of the Mexican peso has not significantly impacted
    the carrying value of this investment.

    In March 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of
    Carriage Hill Stone Company ("Carriage Hill"), a company incorporated in
    Ohio, for $300,000 cash.  Carriage Hill manufactures and markets stone
    products which have commercial and residential applications.  The
    acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method, accordingly, the
    purchase price was allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed
    based upon their relative estimated fair value.  The excess of the purchase
    price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired of $130,000
    was recorded as goodwill.  The Company also entered into a seven-year non-
    compete agreement with the former shareholders of Carriage Hill which 
    requires the Company to pay a total of $210,000 to the former shareholders.
    This amount is payable in seven equal annual installments each March 1.

    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
    The preparation of consolidated 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
    these estimates.

    CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
    The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial
    condition and, generally, requires no collateral from its customers.
    Reserves are maintained for potential credit losses; to date, such losses
    have been insignificant and within management's expectations.

    INVENTORIES
    Raw materials and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost or market.
    Cost is determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method.  Molds used
    in the manufacturing process are included in inventory at cost, and are
    generally amortized to cost of goods sold over a period not exceeding
    eighteen months.

    PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
    Depreciation is computed using straight-line and accelerated methods over
    the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to ten years.
    The building will be depreciated using the straight-line method over 
    forty years.   When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost 
    and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and 
    any resulting gain or loss is included in income for the period.  The 
    cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred; costs 
    relating to significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

    INTANGIBLE ASSETS
    Intangible assets consist primarily of goodwill, trademarks, patents, debt
    issuance costs, and organization costs and are carried at cost less
    accumulated amortization.  Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis
    over a period ranging from 15 to 40 years.  Debt issuance costs and
    organization costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the debt
    term and 5 years, respectively.  Trademarks and patents are amortized on
    a straight-line basis over 7 to 20 years.  The Company evaluates goodwill
    and other intangible assets for impairment by analyzing the operating 
    results, trends and prospects of its acquired businesses as well as 
    comparing them to competitors.  Based upon these evaluations, the Company 
    has determined that no impairment has occurred.

    ADVERTISING COSTS
    The Company expenses the cost of advertising when incurred.  Sales
    materials, such as brochures and catalogues, are expensed as they are
    distributed or when they are determined to have no future use.  Prepaid
    sales materials included in other current assets is $461,000 and $183,600
    at March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Advertising expense was $396,300
    and $321,600 during the years ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

    INCOME TAXES
    The Company records income taxes using the liability method which requires
    the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected
    future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial
    statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities.

    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
    The Company's financial instruments include long-term debt.  The carrying
    amount of long-term debt approximates fair value at March 31, 1996 based on
    the current rates available to the Company for debt with similar terms.

    FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
    Certain reclassifications have been made to the financial statements at
    March 31, 1995 to conform with the March 31, 1996 presentation.

8.  DEBT

    Until August 1995, the Company had a financing arrangement with a bank
    which provided a working capital line of credit and two term loans.  The
    working capital line of credit permitted borrowings up to a maximum of
    $5,500,000 at an interest rate of 1% above the bank's prime rate.  The two
    term loans provided for borrowings up to $3,750,000 and $750,000,
    respectively, at interest rates of 7.75% and 1.5% above the bank's prime
    rate, respectively.

    In August 1995, the Company renegotiated the terms of the working capital
    line of credit and the $750,000 term loan.  The terms of these new
    financing arrangements and the $3,750,000 term loan are described below.

    Under the new working capital line of credit, borrowings equal to the
    lesser of $5,500,000 or the borrowing base, consisting of 80% of qualifying
    accounts receivable and 36% of inventories up to a maximum of $1,000,000,
    are available.  Interest, charged on the outstanding balance at .5% above
    the bank's prime rate (8.75% at March 31, 1996), is payable monthly.  The
    Company's trade accounts receivables and inventories are pledged to secure
    any balances outstanding under the new arrangement.  The Company had
    $3,028,600 outstanding under the line of credit at March 31, 1996.

    The $750,000 term loan was renegotiated to provide for $2,000,000 of
    available borrowings to finance capital equipment requirements.  At the
    Company's option, interest is charged at either 3% above the bank's cost of
    funds, as defined, or .75% above the bank's prime rate (9% at March 31,
    1996), and is payable monthly until maturity of the term loan on December
    1, 1996.  At March 31, 1996, the Company had $50,300 outstanding under this
    term loan.

    The $3,750,000 term loan requires monthly principal payments of $62,500
    until maturity on August 31, 1998.  Interest, charged at 7.75%, is payable
    monthly.  Approximately 24,000 shares of the Company's issued and
    outstanding common stock and 51,000 shares of Series A convertible
    preferred stock are pledged to secure any balances outstanding.  At March
    31, 1996, the Company had $1,841,600 outstanding under this term loan.

10. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

    The Series A preferred stock has equal voting rights with the Company's
    common stock and is convertible into common stock at the option of the 
    shareholder.  The holders of the preferred stock are entitled to receive
    non-cumulative dividends whenever funds are legally available and when the
    Board of Directors declares a dividend on the common stock.  Each share of
    Series A convertible preferred stock is convertible to 2.4286 shares
    (subject to adjustment) of the Company's common stock and has a liquidation
    preference of $142.86 per share plus all declared and unpaid dividends.

    On May 23, 1995, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the
    "Stock Agreement") with one of its customers, Kowa, a Japanese corporation,
    whereby Kowa acquired a ten percent equity interest in the Company for
    $2,463,700, net of issuance costs of $36,300.  Pursuant to the Stock
    Agreement, Kowa acquired 8,888 shares of the Company's Series B convertible
    preferred stock.  The Series B preferred stock has equal voting rights with
    the Company's common stock and is convertible into common stock at the
    option of the shareholder.  The holders of the preferred stock are entitled
    to receive noncumulative dividends whenever funds are legally available and
    when the Board of Directors declares a dividend on the common stock.  Each
    share of Series B convertible preferred stock is convertible to 2.002 shares
    of the Company's common stock, subject to adjustment under certain
    conditions, and has a liquidation preference of $281.28 per share plus all
    declared and unpaid dividends.  Sales to Kowa were $3,487,100 and $1,746,000
    during fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively, and accounts receivable at March
    31, 1996 were $539,800.

    The liquidation preference of the holders of Series A and Series B
    convertible preferred stock are equal in rank.  The Series A and Series B
    preferred stock will be automatically converted into common stock upon the
    consummation of the sale of the Company's common stock (Note 15) or upon
    the approval of the majority of holders of outstanding preferred stock.


11. INCOME TAXES

    The provision for income taxes consists of the following:

The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the
applicable U.S. statutory federal income tax rate to pretax income as a result
of the following differences:

12. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

    SAVINGS PLAN
    The Company adopted a 401(k) Savings Plan (the "Savings Plan") on October
    1, 1991.  The Savings Plan covers substantially all employees who have
    achieved one year of service.  The Company matches employee contributions
    to a maximum of 4% of the employees' compensation.  Company contributions
    to the Savings Plan were $176,400 and $151,700 for the years ended March
    31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

    LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
    The Company has a Long-term Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Incentive
    Plan") which provides for the award of units, representing hypothetical
    investments in shares of the Company's common stock, to former shareholders
    and certain current employees.  Awards are based upon increases in the
    estimated fair value of the Company, as determined by the Board of
    Directors.  The units vest over a five year period and are payable at
    retirement, death or at the date of any sale of the Company.

    As of March 31, 1996, the Company had awarded 6 units in connection with
    the Incentive Plan.  These units are 80% vested as of March 31, 1996.
    Compensation expense related to these awards was approximately $430,000
    during fiscal 1996.  Compensation expensed related to these awards was not
    significant during fiscal 1995.

    The value of these units increases upon any sale of the Company, as defined
    in the Incentive Plan agreement.  On June 5, 1996, the Company's
    shareholders entered into a stock purchase agreement with a third party to
    sell the capital stock of the Company for $48,500,000 (Note 15).
    Management estimates that approximately $2.2 million will be payable to
    holders of these units upon closing of the stock purchase agreement.


13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

    LEASES
    The Company leases its principal facility from a former shareholder under a
    non-cancelable operating lease which extends through June 30, 2001 and
    contains a renewal option for two five-year periods.  Under the terms of
    the lease, the Company pays rent totaling approximately $516,000 annually.
    The Company leases a building in Sacramento, California under a non-

                   Notes to Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements
               Reflecting the Acquisition of Stone Products Corporation
                                     (Unaudited)
                                      (In 000's)



1.  Principles of Presentation:

On July 1, 1996 Fibreboard Corporation (Fibreboard) acquired all of the
outstanding stock of Stone Products Corporation (Stone), a manufacturer of stone
building products for $48,500 in cash, subject to purchase price adjustments and
the assumption of debt.  The allocation of purchase price resulted in goodwill
of approximately $40,200 which will be amortized over 30 years.

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of March 31, 1996 gives
effect to the transaction as though it had occurred on March 31, 1996 and is
based on the historical balance sheet of Fibreboard as of March 31, 1996 and
the historical balance sheet of Stone as of March 31, 1996.

The unaudited pro forma combined income statements for the year ended December
31, 1995 and the three months ended March 31, 1996 give effect to the
transaction as though it had occurred on January 1, 1995 and January 1, 1996.
The pro forma combined income statements are based on the historical income
statements of Fibreboard for the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the three
months ended March 31, 1996, and the historical income statements of Stone for
the year ended March 31, 1996 and the three months ended March 31, 1996.  In
addition, certain amounts contained in the financial statements of Stone have
been reclassified to conform with Fibreboard's presentation.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements give effect to the
acquisition transaction using the purchase method of accounting and the
adjustments described in Note 2.

Because the pro forma statements include only the adjustments described in Note
2, they should not be considered indicative of the results that would have
occurred if the combination had been in effect on the dates indicated or which
may be obtained in the future.  No attempt has been made to quantify in the pro
forma statements additional costs which may be incurred as a result of the
combination.

The pro forma statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements of Fibreboard and Stone.
