            Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Southland Holding Company, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Southland 
Holding Company, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of April 30, 1996 and 
1995, and the related consolidated statements of operations, retained earnings 
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended April 30, 1996. 
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 consolidated financial statements referred to above 
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position 
of Southland Holding Company, Inc. and subsidiaries at April 30, 1996 and 
1995, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows 
for each of the three years in the period ended April 30, 1996, in conformity 
with generally accepted accounting principles.

	 
Jacksonville, Florida

  of Note 9 as to which the date is December 4, 1996

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and 
the subsidiaries listed in Note 1. All significant intercompany accounts and 
transactions have been eliminated.

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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying 
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company sells products to a diversified group of customers, primarily 
businesses, and extends credit terms based on an evaluation of each customer's 
financial condition. The trade receivables are not collateralized. Exposure to 
losses on receivables is principally dependent on each customer's financial 
condition. The Company monitors its exposure for credit losses and maintains 
allowances for anticipated losses.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, 
notes receivable, accounts payable, notes payable to bank and shareholders and 
long-term debt. The carrying value of these financial instruments approximates 
their fair value at April 30, 1996.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market; cost is determined 
principally by the average cost method.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization is 
provided on the straight-line and declining-balance methods over the estimated 
useful lives or lease terms of the respective assets. The estimated useful 
lives are as follows:

     Buildings                                     30 years
     Leasehold improvements                     Lease terms
     Furniture, fixtures and equipment           2-10 years
     Capitalized leases                            20 years

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. SFAS No. 
109 requires income taxes to be recognized using the liability method. 
Specifically deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on 
estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between the 
amount of assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting and income 
tax purposes.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board released SFAS No. 121, 
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets 
to be Disposed of which requires recognition of impairment of long-lived 
assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds the future 
undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. SFAS No. 121 is effective 
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. Adoption of SFAS No. 121 
is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position 
or results of operations.

3. Debt

Long-term debt consisted of the following:

The accompanying financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of 
management reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the 
financial position and results of operations for the period presented. All 
such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The results of

results to be expected for the entire year.

a maximum of $1,000,000, which matured on August 1, 1996, at a fluctuating

On March 4, 1997, JOTAN, Inc. (the Company), a Florida corporation, completed 
the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of 
Southland Holding Company (Southland) with an effective date of February 28, 
1997, as reported in the Company's Form 8-K filed on March 17, 1997. The 
aggregate purchase price was approximately $49.3 million, including $11.5 
million of assumed liabilities, which is subject to adjustment based on the 
post-closing audit. In connection with the acquisition, Jotan purchased all of 
the minority interest of Southland's subsidiaries for approximately $1.1 
million and also paid non-competition fees to the shareholders of Southland in 
the aggregate amount of approximately $6.6 million, which are included in the 
aggregate purchase price of $49.3 million.

In order to finance the Southland acquisition and to fund future expansion, 
the Company signed an agreement on February 28, 1997 with Rice Partner II LP 
(Rice) to provide $9 million of senior subordinated debt and acquire $10 
million of redeemable preferred stock. In connection with this transaction, F-
Southland, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company, and FF-Southland 
Limited Partnership, a North Carolina limited partnership will purchase an 
aggregate amount of $2 million of such senior subordinated debt and $2 million 
of such senior redeemable preferred stock in lieu of Rice.

In addition, the Company signed an agreement with Banque Paribas on February 
28, 1997 to obtain up to $12 million in a senior revolving facility and $27 
million in senior term/acquisition credit facilities. As part of the Banque 
Paribas financing agreement, the Company terminated its long-term financing 
arrangement with CIT and paid off other long-term credit facilities. Amounts 
outstanding on the CIT and other credit facilities totaled approximately $2.9 
million at February 28, 1997. In connection with the Southland acquisition, 
the Company borrowed $16.1 million, net of fees, and $2.3 million on the 
senior term facility and the senior revolving loan, respectively.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements 
present the condensed historical financial statements of the Company and 
Southland, pro forma adjustments and the pro forma results under the purchase 
method of accounting. The historical financial information of the Company was 
prepared from audited financial statements previously filed with the 
Commission. The historical financial information for Southland was prepared 
from the unaudited books and records of Southland for the twelve months ended 
February 28, 1997.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet is based upon the 
historical financial position of the Company at December 31, 1996 and 
Southland at February 28, 1997, and reflects pro forma acquisition adjustments 
as if the acquisition had occurred on December 31, 1996. The unaudited pro 
forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended 
December 31, 1996 is based upon the historical statement of operations of the 
Company for its year ended December 31, 1996 and the historical statement of 
income of Southland for the twelve months ended February 28, 1997. The 
unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement

of operations for the year ended December 31, 1996 gives effect to the 
acquisition as though it had occurred on January 1, 1996.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read 
in connection with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year 
ended December 31, 1996. The pro forma information does not purport to be 
indicative of the results that would have occurred if the acquisition had been 
consummated on the dates indicated, nor of the results that may be obtained in 
the future.

2.  To reflect $37 million increase in borrowings to provide the cash paid 
    for the acquisition and amounts used to retire debt of $2.9 million 
    outstanding at the acquisition date. Also, includes $650,000 attributable 
    to warrants issued in connection with the financing, at a minimal exercise 
    price. The warrants give the holders the right to acquire 63.5% of the 
    common stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis.

3.  To reflect amortization of goodwill and noncompete based upon the 
    preliminary estimated fair value of the net assets resulting from the 
    purchase. Such amount assigned to the noncompete is being amortized over 
    an average life of five years and the amount assigned to goodwill is 
    being amortized over an estimated life of 15 years. The life assigned to 
    goodwill is subject to revision after more detailed analysis and 
    evaluations are completed.

4.  To reflect interest expense as a result of the $37 million increase in 
    borrowings to provide the cash paid for the acquisition and to retire 
    debt of $2.9 million outstanding at the acquisition date.

5.  To reflect the pro forma effects on income taxes due to the pro forma 
    depreciation, amortization and interest expense adjustments. The pro 
    forma amortization of the excess of purchase price over fair value of 
    assets acquired is assumed to be nondeductible for income tax purposes.

6.  To reflect the elimination of certain operating expenses, primarily 
    salaries and benefits, which are duplicative and will not be incurred 
    subsequent to the acquisition.

7.  To reflect proceeds of $1 million received on the sale of real property at 
    the closing date. This property was subsequently leased back and is being 
    reflected as a capital lease.
