INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors
Market America, Inc.
Greensboro, North Carolina
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Market America, Inc. as of
April 30, 1998 and 1997 and the related statements of income, changes in
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years 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. The financial statements of Market America, Inc. as of and for the
year ended April 30, 1996, were audited by another auditor whose report dated
July 5, 1996 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 1998 and 1997 financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Market America, Inc.
as of April 30, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
