Report ofIndependent Auditors


Committee for Employee Benefits Administration
Allied Color Industries, Inc. Savings and Retirement Plan for
  Associates of the Vonore, TN, Kansas City, MO, San  Fernando, CA,
  and Vancouver, WA, Operations and Trust (formerly the  Avecor, Inc.
  Savings and Retirement Plan and Trust)


We  have  audited the accompanying statements of net  assets available  for
plan benefits of the Allied Color Industries, Inc.  Savings  and  Retirement
Plan for  Associates  of  the Vonore,   TN,  Kansas  City,  MO,  San
Fernando,  CA,   and Vancouver,  WA, Operations and Trust (formerly  the
Avecor, Inc.   Savings  and  Retirement  Plan  and  Trust)   as   of December
31,  1993 and 1992, and the related  statement  of changes  in net assets
available for plan benefits  for  the year  ended  December 31, 1993.  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 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  net  assets available for plan benefits of the
Plan at December 31, 1993 and  1992,  and the changes in its net assets
available  for plan  benefits  for  the year ended December  31,  1993,  in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.



Our  audits were made for the purpose of forming an  opinion on  the  basic
financial statements taken as a  whole.   The accompanying  supplemental
schedules  of  assets  held  for investment  as  of  December 31, 1993, and
transactions  or series  of  transactions in excess of five  percent  of  the
current  value of plan assets for the year then  ended,  are presented  for
purposes of complying with the Department  of Labor's  Rules and Regulations
for Reporting and  Disclosure under  the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of  1974, and   are  not  a  required  part  of  the  basic  financial
statements.  The supplemental schedules have been  subjected to  the auditing
procedures applied in our audit of the 1993 financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly  stated in  all  material  respects in relation to  the
1993  basic financial statements taken as a whole.

     Allied Color Industries, Inc. Savings and Retirement Plan for
    Associates of the Vonore, TN, Kansas City, MO, San Fernando, CA
                and Vancouver, WA, Operations and Trust

                      December 31, 1993 and 1992



                     Notes to Financial Statements

A.  Significant Accounting Policies


The  accounting records of the Allied Color Industries, Inc. Savings  and
Retirement Plan for Associates of the  Vonore, TN,  Kansas  City, MO, San
Fernando, CA, and Vancouver,  WA, Operations  and  Trust  (the Plan)  are
maintained  on  the accrual basis.

The change in the difference between fair value and cost  of investments is
reflected in the statement of changes in  net assets   available   for   plan
benefits   as   unrealized appreciation (depreciation).

The  Wells  Fargo Collective Investment Funds ("the  Funds") invest  in units
of Wells Fargo Institutional Trust  Company ("WFITC") Collective Trust Funds
for Employee Benefit Trusts ("the   Master   Funds")  which  have   similar
investment objectives to the Funds.  The Funds also invest in the Money Market
Fund as a short-term investment vehicle.

Effective July 2, 1993 The Wells Fargo Collective Investment Funds were
converted to the Stagecoach Inc. Mutual Funds  of Wells Fargo ("the Funds").

Wells  Fargo  Bank, N.A. ("Wells Fargo") is the Trustee  and Investment
Manager of the Funds.  WFITC is the Trustee  and Investment   Manager  of  the
Master  Funds  and   receives investment   advice  from  Wells  Fargo   Nikko
Investment Advisors.

The   following  is  a  summary  of  significant  accounting policies
consistently followed by Wells Fargo:

Fund Valuation

Valuation of the Funds' units occurs daily.  Unit values   are determined by
dividing the fair market value of each   Fund's net assets by the number of
units outstanding on   the valuation date.

Units of the Master Funds are valued on the basis of the   unit value
established by WFITC for each fund at each   valuation date.


Valuation of Investments

Securities traded on exchanges are valued at the last   reported sales price
on the valuation date, or in the   absence of any sales, at the last reported
bid price on   the valuation date.  Securities traded over-the-counter   are
valued at the final bid price on the valuation date.   Securities not traded
are valued on the basis of   quotations from pricing services or securities
dealers.

U.S. Treasury obligations are valued daily at the mean of    bid and ask
prices.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Investment  transactions are accounted for  on  the  trade   date.   Dividend
income is recognized on the  ex-dividend   date,  and  interest income is
recognized on  the  accrual   basis.   The  cost of investments sold is
computed  on  an   average cost basis.


B. Description of the Plan

The  Plan  is  a  defined  contribution  plan  which  covers substantially all
employees of the Vonore, TN, Kansas  City, MO,  San  Fernando,  CA,  and
Vancouver,  WA  operations  of Avecor,   Incorporated   (Allied  Color
Industries,   Inc. effective   January   1,  1994)  (the  Company),
effective February 1, 1992.  Each participant may elect to voluntarily
contribute  up to 15% of his aggregate compensation  subject to certain annual
limits.  Employer contributions will total 25%  of  each participant's
before-tax contributions  except that  no match is made on contributions in
excess of  4%  of the participant's aggregate compensation.  Contributions may
be   allocated  by  participants  among  investment  options selected  by  the
plan  administrator.   One-half  of   the employer  match is automatically
directed to the M.A.  Hanna Company   Stock  Fund.   Employer  contributions
are   made annually.



Participants  are  fully vested in  their  accounts  at  all times.   Employer
contributions become vested at the end  of the  calendar  year  in  which the
contributions  are  made, provided the participant is employed on the last day
of  the calendar year.

The  Company  has  reserved the  right  under  the  Plan  to discontinue
contributions at any  time  and  terminate  the Plan.   In the event of a
complete termination of the  Plan, all  participant accounts shall become 100%
vested  and  the net  assets of the Plan are to be set aside for distribution
to  all  Plan  participants.   The  Plan  administrator  has received notice
that the Plan is not covered by the  Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.

Details of the Plan agreement, including vesting and benefit provisions,  is
contained in the Allied  Color  Industries, Inc.  Savings and Retirement Plan.
Copies of this agreement are  available  from  the Committee  for  Employee
Benefits Administration.

C. Investments

The  individual investments that represent 5% or more of the fair  value  of
net assets available for plan  benefits  at December 31, 1993 and 1992 are:

                                    1993       1992

Money Market Fund                            13,287





D. Transactions with Parties-in-Interest

All  expenses  of  administering the plan are  paid  by  the Company.
Investment   management   fees   are   paid   by participants  in that
management fees reduce the  investment return reported and credited to
participants.

E. Income Tax Status

The  Plan has not received a favorable determination  letter from  the
Internal Revenue Service as to the tax  qualified status  of the Plan; such a
letter has been requested.   The Plan  administrator believes that the Plan is
in operational compliance  with  the Internal Revenue Code and,  therefore,
will remain qualified and exempt from income taxes.
