                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


Stockholders
Buriot International, Inc.:


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Buriot International, Inc. as
of May 31, 1999 and 1998 and the related statements of operations and
accumulated deficit and cash flows for the year then ended. 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 Buriot International, Inc. as
of May 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 12 to the
financial statements, the Company has incurred significant losses from
operations and is in violation of certain debt covenants. As described in Note
13, on December 1, 1999 the Company temporarily ceased operations. On December
3, 1999 a Receiver was appointed to operate the Company, and on December 4, 1999
essentially all assets of the Company were sold. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty.

                          Notes to Financial Statements


1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
     -------------------------------------------

     The following accounting principles and practices of the Company are set
     forth to facilitate the understanding of data presented in the financial
     statements:

         Business activity
         -----------------

         The Company's principal business activity is the manufacture of
         injection in-mold labels for sale primarily to the consumer products
         industry throughout the United States.

         Organization
         ------------

         The Company was incorporated in the State of Ohio on November 20, 1996.

         Cash and cash equivalents
         -------------------------

         Cash equivalents consist of money market accounts and cash in daily
         investment accounts. For purposes of the balance sheet and the
         statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid
         interest-bearing investments with original maturities of three months
         or less to be cash equivalents.

         Restricted Cash
         ---------------

         Restricted cash consists of a short-term certificate of deposit held by
         KeyBank as collateral for repayment of Industrial Development Revenue
         Bonds.

         Inventories
         -----------

         Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined using the FIFO
         (first-in, first-out) method, or market and consist primarily of raw
         materials.

         Property and equipment
         ----------------------

         Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided on
         the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
         respective assets.

         Organization costs
         ------------------

         At May 31, 1998, legal and other fees incurred with respect to the
         Company's organization are recorded at cost and are being amortized
         using the straight-line method over five years.

         Loan costs
         ----------

         Bank and professional fees incurred with respect to the Company's
         Industrial Development Revenue Bonds issued by Clermont County, Ohio
         are recorded at cost and are being amortized using the straight-line
         method over five years.



                                       -9-

         Estimates
         ---------

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
         accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
         and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.
         Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

         Concentration of credit risk
         ----------------------------

         The Company sells products to customers and extends credit based on an
         evaluation of the customer's financial condition, without collateral.
         Exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent on each
         customer's financial condition. The Company monitors its exposure to
         credit losses and maintains allowance for anticipated losses. No
         allowance for doubtful accounts was considered necessary by management
         at May 31, 1999 or 1998.

         Two customers represent approximately 83% of accounts receivable -
         trade at May 31, 1999. The Company's top three customers represented
         approximately 60% of sales for the year ended May 1999.

         The Company at times maintains cash deposits, with financial
         institutions, which may be in excess of FDIC insurance limits.

         Change in accounting principle
         ------------------------------

         Pursuant to Statement of Position 98-5, Reporting on costs of Start-Up
         Activities, issued by the American Institute of Certified Public
         Accountants in 1998, the Company elected to write-off unamortized
         start-up and organization costs of $113,218 as of June 1, 1998. The
         adjustment was recorded as the cumulative effect of a change in
         accounting principle.

         Reclassifications
         -----------------

         Certain items in the 1998 financial statements have been reclassified
         to conform to the current year presentation.

2.   Notes Payable - Directors:
     --------------------------

4.   Convertible Bonds:
     ------------------

     Convertible bonds were issued to certain stockholders in exchange for
     amounts loaned to the Company. These bonds require annual, interest only,
     payments at 4% per annum, with annual principal repayments of 20% of the
     original note due to begin November 2001. The bonds may be converted into
     an equal amount of common stock at the rate of 20% per year at an option
     price of $250 per share. Scheduled principle repayments for the years

5.   Long-Term Debt:
     ---------------

     Long-term debt consists of Multi-Mode Variable Rate Industrial Development
     Revenue Bonds, Series 1997, in the original aggregate amount of $7,000,000.
     Interest is payable quarterly and accrues at a variable rate based upon the
     weekly bond rate as determined by the Trustee, Banc One. At May 31, 1999
     this rate was 3.50%. At May 31, 1999, $6,600,000 is still outstanding.

     The bonds are secured by an Irrevocable Letter of Credit issued by KeyBank
     N.A. for the principal amount of the bonds, plus an amount equal to 110
     days' interest on the bonds at ten percent. This agreement expires June 22,
     2000. Until November 1998, the bonds were also secured by a $2,300,000
     Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit issued by Credit Lyonnais in favor of
     KeyBank N.A. In November 1998, KeyBank N.A. presented this letter of
     credit, which was honored by Credit Lyonnais.

     Buriot, SA, a stockholder owned by the Company's majority stockholder,
     guaranteed the Credit Lyonnais letter of credit. After payment of the
     letter of credit, Buriot, SA advanced funds to cover the amount. Prior to
     the payment of the letter of credit, a commitment fee of .5% of the
     outstanding letter of credit was payable annually. Also, the Company was
     required to reimburse the guarantor 1% of the outstanding letter of credit
     paid by the guarantor on their behalf.

     The KeyBank letter of credit is secured by a UCC security interest in all
     assets of the Company and an open-end mortgage on real estate. At the
     option of the issuer, collateral may be released as the Company makes
     principal and interest payments. Effective on the annual anniversary of the
     agreement, the Bank may, at its discretion, extend the expiration of the
     letter of credit for an additional one-year period.

     An annual commitment fee of 1% of the outstanding letter of credit is
     payable in advance on June 1 of each year. The agreement contains certain
     restrictions on capital expenditures and additional indebtedness, and
     requires maintenance of minimum tangible net worth, debt service, and
     leverage ratios. At May 31, 1999, these covenants have not been met and
     waivers have not been granted. Accordingly, the bonds have been classified
     as current.

     In connection with the variable interest rate the Company entered into a
     swap agreement with KeyBank, fixing the interest rate at 4.64% for $1.75
     million of bonds amortizing through March 1, 2003, and 4.72% for $1.75
     million of bonds amortizing through March 1, 2008. This agreement was
     terminated in June 1999.

6.   Operating Lease Commitment:
     ---------------------------

     The Company leases certain manufacturing equipment under a noncancelable
     lease agreement that expires in May 2003.

     The Company also leases a slitter under terms of an agreement that expires
     in March 2004. The slitter has not been placed into service since the
     inception of the lease. A limited personal guarantee of the Company
     President secures this lease.

     Minimum annual rentals under current lease arrangements for the years
     ending May 31 are as follows:

                          2000                     $ 40,420
                          2001                       40,420
                          2002                       40,420
                          2003                       40,420
                          2004                       27,189
                                               ------------

                                                   $188,869

     Rental expense under terms of these lease arrangements charged to
     operations was approximately $20,000 in 1999 and approximately $25,000 in
     1998.

7.   Income Taxes:
     -------------

     Deferred income taxes are comprised of the following at May 31:



                                                              1999                   1998

         Deferred tax assets:                              $ 1,807,000            $ 923,000

                                                               351,000              105,000

                                                        =================      ================


     The Company has operating loss carryforwards of approximately $5.3 million
     that expire primarily in 2013 and 2014. The Company has been granted
     refundable tax credits from the State of Ohio based on certain job creation
     and retention criteria through 2003. The Company has been granted a 60%
     exemption from personal property taxes through 2007.

     A valuation allowance has been recorded to offset net deferred tax assets
     at May 31, 1999 and 1998. Realization of the asset is dependent on
     generating sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration dates of
     operating loss carryforwards. It is reasonably possible that the deferred
     tax asset will not be realized.

     The Company was assessed taxes, penalty and interest totaling approximately
     $13,000 by the State of Texas for underpayment of tax. The Company believes
     the assessment to be without merit and no provision for tax exposure has
     been made in the financial statements.

8.   Retirement Plan:
     ----------------

     The Company maintains a 401(k) profit sharing plan (the Plan) which covers
     substantially all employees 20 1/2 years of age or older with at least
     three months of service. The Plan provides for employee contributions
     through salary reduction elections and a discretionary Company
     contribution. There were no contributions by the Company in 1999 or 1998.

9.   Related Party Transactions:
     ---------------------------

     Accounts payable includes $3,481,776 due to the majority stockholder of the
     Company.

     The Company has an agreement to pay royalties of 5% of printing sales to a
     stockholder, in exchange for the use of proprietary technology and
     technical assistance. Approximately $85,000 and $7,500 was expensed under
     terms of this agreement in 1999 and 1998, respectively.

10.  Marketing Agreement:
     --------------------

     In September 1998 the Company entered into an agreement with Multi-Color
     Corporation (MCC) to jointly sell and market IML labels and other products.
     The term of the agreement is for a period of three years until September
     30, 2001. The agreement may terminate at any time with a three-month notice
     and a six-month phase out period. In return for production capabilities
     provided by the Company, MCC agrees to provide an annual level of
     $3,000,000 in blow mold IML sales. This level is to be achieved by 2000.
     The Company agrees to purchase key ingredients from MCC. In consideration,
     MCC has the first right to purchase the Company in the event of a sale of
     the business.

11.  Consulting Agreement:
     ---------------------

     In February 1999, the Company entered into an agreement for consulting
     services to be provided by an entity controlled by its former technical
     director. Terms of the agreement, which expires in February 2000, provide
     for consulting services to be rendered to the Company in exchange for an
     amount not less than $4,200 per month. Other discretionary bonuses and
     incentives may be paid. In addition, for the term of the agreement, the
     consultant expressly agrees not to compete. The Company may terminate the
     agreement, without cause, subject to a declining penalty clause based upon
     the remaining months of the agreement. At May 31, 1999, this penalty
     payment would have been approximately $28,000.

12.  Going Concern Evaluation:
     -------------------------

     As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred a
     net loss of $2,140,975 during the year ended May 31, 1999, and as of that
     date has stockholders' deficit of $3,208,343. These factors, as well as the
     absence of waivers for letter of credit covenant violations (Note 5), and
     events described in Note 13, raise substantial doubt about the Company's
     ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not
     include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to
     continue as a going concern.

13.  Subsequent Event:
     -----------------

     On December 1, 1999, the Company temporarily ceased operations. On December
     3, 1999, KeyBank, N.A. commenced a foreclosure action that led to the
     appointment of a Receiver for the Company. Effective December 4, 1999,
     MCC-Batavia, LLC (MCC) entered into an asset purchase agreement with the
     Receiver. Under the terms of this agreement, MCC acquired substantially all
     of the Company's assets in exchange for the assumption of all the
     liabilities associated with the Industrial Development Revenue Bonds,
     including the KeyBank letter of credit obligation, and accrued payroll and
     related employee costs as of December 3, 1999.

the year ended March 28, 1999 and for the six months ended September 30, 1999
include the completed acquisition of Buriot International, Inc. by Multi-Color

periods.

         The pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1999 gives
effect to the acquisition of Buriot International, Inc. as if this event had
occurred on September 30, 1999.

certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable. The pro forma consolidated
financial information should be read in conjunction with Buriot International's
financial statements and notes thereto and Multi-Color Corporation's financial
statements and notes thereto included in the reports on Form 10-Q and 10-K. The
