REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Waverly, Inc.



We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of
Waverly, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 1995, and the
related condensed consolidated statements of income and cash
flows for the three month period ended March 31, 1995.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the
company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established
by the American Institute of  Certified Public Accountants.  A
review of interim financial information consists principally of
applying analytical procedures to financial data and making
inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit
conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the objective of which is the expression of an
opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. 
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material
modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated
financial statements referred to above for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet as
of December 31, 1994, and the related consolidated statements of
income, cash flows, and stockholders' equity for the year then
ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February
22, 1995 we expressed an unqualified opinion on those
consolidated financial statements.  In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated
balance sheet as of December 31, 1994, is fairly stated, in all
material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet
from which it has been derived.

We did not audit the 1994 interim financial information and,
accordingly, we do not express an opinion on that information.
Furthermore, that information was not subjected to review procedures
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

Waverly, Inc.

Part I. 	MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL      
     CONDITION  AND RESULTS OF OPERATION 

	Results of Operations: 	Three months ended March 31, 1995
compared with the three months ended March 31, 1994 

Net sales were $34.7 million for the three months ended March
31, 1995 compared with $28.8 million in the prior year period,
an increase of  20.6%.  Global book publishing revenues
increased 28.4% compared with the same period last year
accounting for $4.7 million of the total $5.9 million sales
increase.  New publications introduced in the fourth quarter of
1994 and the first quarter of 1995, particularly the 26th
edition of the classic Stedman'sR Medical Dictionary,
contributed heavily to the increase. Periodical publishing
revenues were up 8.2% compared with the same period a year ago,
due to new journal publications. Electronic Media revenues rose
55% as a result of new product and increased market penetration
of existing software and video lines. 

Cost of sales were $21.7 million for the three months ended
March 31,1995 compared with $18.5 million during the same period
last year, an increase of 17.3%.  The gross margin for the three
month period improved to 37.5% compared with a gross margin of 
35.6% experienced during the same three month period last year. 
The gross margin improvement came mainly from higher book sales
volume and efficiency improvements in editorial and production
areas offset partially  by a lower gross margin in the
Periodical Division due to higher manufacturing, royalty and
editorial costs.

Selling and distribution expenses were $8.1 million in the
current period compared with $6.9 million in the prior year period, an
increase of 17.8%.  As a percent of sales, the selling and
distribution costs improved slightly to 23.3% compared with
23.9% a year ago.   

General and administrative expenses were $3.1 million for the
current period compared with $2.4 million a year ago, an
increase of  29.6%.  The increase was due to higher building
costs  (the Company was able to lower building costs last year
through an office rental agreement with Cadmus Communications
Inc., the purchaser of the Company's Printing Division), higher
incentive compensation provisiosn due to increased profits and costs
associated with upgrading customer fulfillment systems.

Depreciation and amortization expenses were $1,066,000 in the current
period compared with $859,000 a year ago, a 24% increase.  The increase
was due to higher amortization associated with recent acquisitions of
publishing properties and higher depreciation associated with spending
for office equipment, computers, and related software.

Other income and (expense) was $327,000 during the current period compared
with $21,000 in the prior year period.  Reduced interest expense from lower
long-term debt and foreign currency transaction gains account for the increase 
in investment income.

Equity in the earnings of affiliated entities was $401,000 for the current
three month period compared with $543,000 a year ago.  Lower earnings from
the minority-owned affiliates in Germany accounts for the decrease.

Net income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 1995 was $962,000
or $0.22 per share compared with $520,000 or $0.12 per share a year ago.
Profit margins in global book publishing and electronic media increased
as a result of higher sales and efficiency improvements in production and 
marketing.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Total assets at March 31, 1995 were $118 million, a decrease of approximately
4% since December 31, 1994.  This decrease reflects use of cash and 
marketable security investments and the $1.0 million received this year from
the printing sale to reduce short and long-term debt and various current
liabilities.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were approximately 
$11.9 million at March 31, 1995 compared with $18.9 million at 
December 31, 1994 and $12.3 million at March 31, 1994.  The reduction in
cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities since December 31, 1994 is
principally the reult of the seasonal use of cash to pay semi-annual author
and periodical royalties and periodical editorial allowances.  In addition,
cash was used to reduce debt, fund business acquisitions and purchase
office equipment, computers, and related software.

Working capital was $26.6 million at March 31, 1995 compared with $27.5 million
at December 31, 1994, and $28.2 million at March 31, 1994.  The decrease
of $0.9 million since December 31, 1994 is due mainly to fund the Info-Med
acquisition.

The Board of Directors approved an increase in the quarterly dividend from
$0.11 per share to $0.12 per share, effective for shareholders of record
on March 26, 1995 and payable on June 12, 1995.

As of March 31, 1995, the Company has recorded deferred tax assets amounting
to $6.5 million, due primarily to the recognition of postretirement benefit
obligations, future inventory-related deductions, depreciation, and the sale
of the Printing Division.  Based on the Company's long-term earnings record 
and projected future earnings, the deferred tax asset was recorded free
of any valuation allowance.
