Independent Auditors' Report
To the Participants and Administrator of
Horizon Group, Inc. Profit Sharing/401(k) Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Horizon Group, Inc. Profit Sharing/401(k) Plan as of December 31, 1997
and 1996 and the related statements of changes in net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit 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 our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above represent fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Horizon
Group, Inc. Profit Sharing/401(k) Plan as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the
changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held for
investment purposes and reportable transactions are presented for the purpose of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements, but are supplementary information required by the Department of
Labor's Rules and Regulations for reporting and disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedules have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Note 2: Description of the Plan
The following description of the Horizon Group, Inc. (the "Company") Profit
Sharing/401(k) Official Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information.
Participants should refer to the Official Plan document for a more complete
description of the Plan's provisions.
General. The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all employees of
the Company who have six months of service and are age twenty-one or older. It
is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974 (ERISA).
Contributions. Each year, amounts may be contributed by the Company at the
option of the Company's board of directors. Participants may contribute up to
15% of their annual wages. Contributions are subject to certain limitations.
Participant Accounts. Each participant's account is credited with the
participant's contribution and an allocation of (a) the Company's matching
contribution and any discretionary contribution, (b) Plan earnings, and
(c) forfeitures of terminated participants' nonvested accounts, and charged
with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations of Company matching
contributions are based on participants 401(K) contributions, and allocations
of Company discretionary contributions and forfeitures. The benefit to which a
participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the
participant's vested account.
Vesting. Participants are immediately vested in their 401(K) contributions
plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company contributions portion of
their accounts plus earnings thereon is based upon years of continuous service.
A participant is 20% vested after one year of credited service, 40% after two
years, 60% after three years, 80% after four years, and 100% after five years.
Payment of Benefits. Upon termination of employment, a participant may elect
to receive an amount equal to the value of the participant's vested interest
in his or her account in either a lump-sum amount, annual installments, life
or joint and survivor annuities.
Note 3: Plan Termination
The Company has the right under the Plan to terminate the Plan subject
to provisions set forth in ERISA. In the event the Plan terminates, all
participants will be 100% vested in their accounts and the net assets of the
Plan will be distributed to participants as prescribed by ERISA and its
related regulations.
