                          Independent Auditors' Report



The Board of Directors
Jackson Products, Inc.:


We have  audited the  accompanying  balance  sheets of Morton  Traffic  Markings
(formerly a division of Morton International,  Inc.) (the Company) as of May 17,
1999 and June 30, 1998,  and the related  statements of operations  and retained
earnings  and cash flows for the period  from July 1, 1998  through May 17, 1999
and each of the years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.  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 financial position of the Company as of May 17, 1999
and June 30, 1998,  and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
period  from July 1, 1998  through May 17, 1999 and each of the years ended June
30, 1998 and 1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                         May 17, 1999 and June 30, 1998

                                 (In thousands)


(1)    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

       (a)    Principles of Combination

              The  accompanying  financial  statements  include the  accounts of
              Morton  Traffic  Markings  (the  Company),  formerly a division of
              Morton   International,   Inc.  (the  Parent).   The  accompanying
              financial  statements present the financial  position,  results of
              operation  and cash  flows of the  Company  which is subject to an
              acquisition by Jackson Products, Inc. (Jackson).  Jackson acquired
              all of the assets and assumed  certain  liabilities of the Company
              as of May 17, 1999.

       (b)    Nature of Operations

              The Company  manufactures and distributes traffic coatings (paint)
              and  specialized  coating  application  equipment  in the  western
              United States. The coatings segment of the business has fluctuated
              between  85% and 88% of the total sales of the Company in the last
              three  years.  Remaining  sales  relate  to  assembly  and sale of
              application equipment, sale of parts and equipment services.

       (c)    Use of Estimates

              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.

       (d)    Cash

              Cash is subject to immediate  delivery to the Parent company.  All
              cash requirements are funded by the Parent company.

       (e)    Revenue, Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Risk

              The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment of merchandise to its
              customers.

              No single customer accounted for more than 10% of revenues for the
              period  from July 1, 1998 to May 17,  1999 or for the years  ended
              June 30, 1998 and 1997.

              At May 17, 1999 and June 30, 1998,  two  customers  accounted  for
              approximately   18%   and   25%   of  net   accounts   receivable,
              respectively.

       (f)    Inventories

              Raw materials,  containers/labels and purchased finished goods are
              stated at a moving  average cost,  which  approximates  costs on a
              first-in-first-out  basis and is not in  excess  of market  value.
              Manufactured  finished goods are stated at an amount approximating
              cost of  manufacturing,  which is not in excess of net  realizable
              value.

                                       5                            (Continued)

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                         May 17, 1999 and June 30, 1998

                                 (In thousands)


       (g)    Property, Plant and Equipment

              Property, plant and equipment are capitalized at cost.

              Depreciation is calculated  using the  straight-line  method.  The
              average  estimated lives utilized in calculating  depreciation are
              as follows:  buildings and improvements,  25 - 40 years; machinery
              and equipment,  10 - 15 years;  transportation  equipment,  5 - 10
              years; and furniture and fixtures, 5 - 10 years.  Expenditures for
              maintenance  and repairs  are  expensed.  Leasehold  improvements,
              which are included in buildings and improvements,  are depreciated
              over the shorter of the term of the  respective  lease or the life
              of the respective improvement.

              When events or changes in  circumstances  indicate that assets may
              be impaired,  an evaluation  is performed  comparing the estimated
              future  undiscounted  cash flows  associated with the asset to the
              assets  carrying  amount to determine  if a  write-down  to market
              value or discounted cash flow value is required.

       (h)    Goodwill

              Goodwill, which represents the excess of acquisition cost over the
              net assets acquired in business combinations,  is amortized on the
              straight-line  method  over 40  years.  The  Company  periodically
              re-evaluates  the  carrying  value  of its  goodwill  based on the
              expected  undiscounted  cash flows over the remaining  life of the
              related goodwill.

       (i)    Income Taxes

              The  Company  accounts  for  income  taxes  under  the  asset  and
              liability method. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities
              are recognized  for the future tax  consequences  attributable  to
              differences  between the financial  statement  carrying amounts of
              existing assets and  liabilities  and their  respective tax bases.
              The provision for income taxes  includes  federal and state income
              taxes  currently  payable and those deferred  because of temporary
              differences  between  the  financial  statements  and tax basis of
              assets and liabilities.

              The Company files a federal income tax return with the Parent. The
              income tax  provision  has been  computed as if the  Company  were
              filing a separate federal income tax return.

       (j)    Receivable from Parent

              The  Company's  cash  funding  needs are handled by the Parent for
              short-term  investing  purposes.  Also,  any  charges  between the
              Company and the Parent or other affiliates including income taxes,
              are recorded in intercompany accounts.

       differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

               (Formerly a division of Morton International, Inc.)

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                         May 17, 1999 and June 30, 1998

                                 (In thousands)


(8)    Transactions with Parent

       Certain of the Company's corporate  administrative  functions,  including
       certain  accounting  and data  processing  activities are provided by the
       Parent. The costs of these  administrative  functions is allocated to the
       Company  in  proportion  to  the  budgeted   revenues  of  each  company.
       Management believes this allocation method is reasonable,  however,  such
       allocated  costs  may not  necessarily  be  indicative  of the  costs  of
       obtaining  such services if the Company  operated on a stand alone basis.
       These expenses amount to $537, $527 and $629 for the period ended May 17,
       1999 and the fiscal years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

(9)    401(k)

       All employees are eligible to  participate  in the 401(k) savings plan of
       the Parent.  Employees can contribute between -0-% and 14% of their gross
       pay subject to statutory  maximums.  The Company matches 50% of the first
       6% of  each  participating  employee's  contributions,  also  subject  to
       statutory  maximums.  Employer  contributions  vest over three years. The
       401(k) plan expense amounted to $94, $77 and $97 for the period ended May
       17, 1999 and the years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

(10)   Commitments and Contingencies

       The  Company is  involved  in  certain  legal  actions  from time to time
       related to the normal conduct of its business.  Management  believes that
       liabilities, if any, resulting from litigation will not materially affect
       the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

       Future minimum lease payments under all operating  leases with initial or
       remaining noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year at May 17, 1999
       are insignificant. Rent expense for the period ended May 17, 1999 and the
       years  ended  June 30,  1998  and  1997  totaled  $198,  $207  and  $171,
       respectively.

       The Company  leases  certain  manufacturing  and office  equipment  under
       capital leases, which expire over the next year. At May 17, 1999 and June
       30, 1998, the net book value of leased manufacturing and office equipment
       included in property, plant and equipment was $55 and $200, respectively.
       Future minimum lease payments under  non-cancelable  capital leases as of
       May 17, 1999 are insignificant.
