                                  JUNE 30, 1996

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited, condensed, consolidated financial statements 
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to 
Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include 
all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting 
principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, 
all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered 
necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods 
covered have been included. For further information, refer to the 
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in 
FinishMaster's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1996.  
The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not 
necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

     A change in control of the Company occurred on July 9, 1996.  On such date,
LDI AutoPaints, Inc. an Indiana corporation, and Maxco, Inc. a Michigan
corporation consummated the purchase and sale of all 4,045,000 shares of Common
Stock of the Company which were owned by Maxco.  The shares purchased and sold
represent 67.4% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of

On June 19,1996, the Company obtained a commitment for a $5.0 million unsecured
line of credit to fund periodic working capital requirements and a separate
unsecured $15.0 million credit facility to fund acquisitions.  At June 30, 1996
there was $7.3 million of these credit facilities available to fund future
working capital requirements and acquisitions.  The borrowings bear interest at
various rates not exceeding the prime rate of interest.  These lines contain
covenants which require maintenance of certain financial ratios.

                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's liquidity and capital resources are significantly affected by 
its acquisition activity.  Acquisitions typically are financed by a 
combination of internally generated cash flow, seller financing, and 
borrowings under the company's loan facilities. The Company had working 
capital of $23.6 million at June 30, 1996. In addition, the Company has a 
credit agreement which provides for borrowings in the aggregate of $20.0 
million of which $7.3 million is available. The Company believes its cash and 
other liquid resources, cash flow generated from operating activities, and 
the available lines of credit will be sufficient to support operations and 
general capital requirements for the next twelve months.

The Company's operating activities used $1.6 million of cash through the first
quarter of 1996 and $0.3 million in the prior year.  Cash flow generated by the
company's earnings was primarily offset by payments to vendors to maximize 
discounts allowed.

The accounts receivable decrease of $0.4 million since the prior year ended 
March 31, 1996 was primarily the result of more intensive collection activity 
with certain slower paying customers.  The accounts receivable days 
outstanding also decreased to approximately 40 days from 42 days in the prior 
year.

The investment in inventory remained fairly constant since the prior year 
ended March 31, 1996, increasing $0.1 million.  Inventory days on hand 
decreased to approximately 100 days from 104 days in the prior year.  The 
reduction in days is primarily attributable to increased efficiencies in 
acquired outlets. Inventory is expected to stay at this level throughout the 
year subject to increases for acquisitions and large purchases in advance 
of price increases by the suppliers.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995
NET SALES.  Net sales increased $9.7 million or 41.1% from $23.4 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1995 to $33.1 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1996.  Of the net sales increase, $8.7 million resulted from sales
generated by acquisitions with the remainder coming from same outlet sales
growth.  Same outlet sales growth represents the increase in sales for a given
outlet open for the period compared to the same period of the prior year.

GROSS MARGIN.  Gross margin increased from $8.5 million to $11.9 million and 
remained constant as a percentage of net sales at 36.0%.  Gross margin 
percentage remained constant due to the Company's continued participation in 
vendor discounts and volume buying to maximize profit opportunities.

OPERATING EXPENSES. Operating expenses increased from $3.4 million to $5.3
million and as a percentage of net sales from 14.5% to 15.8%.  Operating
expenses consist of wages, building and vehicle costs for the outlets and the
distribution center.  The increase as a percentage of net sales resulted from
rapid expansion in two new regions where additional fixed costs were added to
support growth.  The Company expects a reduction in operating expenses as a
percentage of sales as store consolidations and additional acquisitions take
place.  While consolidations may occur within existing markets where
appropriate, the Company has no plans to withdraw from any of its existing
markets.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE.  S, G, & A expenses increased from $3.2 
million to $4.4 million; however, S, G, & A expenses decreased as a 
percentage of net sales from 13.4% to 13.3%.  General and administrative 
expenses consist of corporate support staff and expenses for marketing, data 
processing, accounting, credit, purchasing and human resources.  Selling 
expenses include sales commissions, wages, and expenses supporting customer 
sales activity.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSE.  Depreciation and amortization increased
from $0.4 million to $0.7 million and as a percentage of net sales from 1.8% to
2.1%. The increase resulted from acqusitions made since the prior period.

OPERATING INCOME.  As a result of the foregoing, income from operations 
remained constant at approximately $1.5 million; however, income from 
operations decreased as a percent of net sales from 6.3% to 4.6%.

            FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense increased from $151,000 to $453,000 as a 
result of acquisition financing and borrowings used to take advantage of 
favorable supplier payment discounts.

INVESTMENT INCOME.  Income from investments decreased $100,000 for the 
current quarter from $104,000 to $4,000 as a result of the sale of 
investments to finance acquisition downpayments and operations. 

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAX.  The Company's effective tax rate for both three month
periods was approximately 35%.  This rate varied from the Company's statutory
tax rate of 34% primarily due to nondeductible expenses for tax purposes.

NET INCOME.  Net Income was $703,000 or $0.12 per share compared to $932,000 
or $0.16 per share in the prior year.  The average number of shares of common 
stock outstanding was at 6,000,140 at June 30, 1996 due to the exercising of 
stock options and 6,000,000 at June 30, 1995.

                                        (1996)

    This Amendment to Credit Agreement (this "Amendment")
is made on the 1st day of July, 1996 between FINISHMASTER, INC., a Michigan
corporation, of 4259 40th Street, S.E., Kentwood, Michigan 49512 (the

N.W., Brand Rapids, Michigan 49503 (the "Lender").

                                       RECITALS

    A.   The Borrower and the Lender are parties to a Credit Agreement dated
August 24, 1995, (the "Existing Credit Agreement"), pursuant and subject to
which Lender agreed to extend the following loans to the Borrower (the

         (i)  Acquistion Loans in an aggregate amount (subject to the
         adjustments set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement) of up to
         $12,000,000; and

         (ii) Working Capital Loans in an aggregate amount (subject to the
         adjustments set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement) of up to
         $5,000,000;

    B.   Subject to the terms and conditions of the Existing Credit Agreement,
the Borrower has the right to convert Acquistion Loans to Term Loans, the

of this Amendment is $7,613,775.

    D.   The Borrower has requested the Lender to increase the maximum amount
