                              BULL RUN CORPORATION
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.        In  management's   opinion,   the  accompanying   unaudited  condensed
          consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments  (consisting
          solely of normal,  recurring  adjustments) necessary to present fairly
          the  financial  position  and  results of  operations  for the interim
          periods reported.  These condensed  consolidated  financial statements
          should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  consolidated   financial
          statements  contained in the Annual  Report on Form 10-KSB of Bull Run
          Corporation ("Bull Run") for the year ended December 31, 1995.


2.        The accompanying  condensed  consolidated financial statements include
          the accounts of Bull Run and its  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Datasouth
          Computer Corporation ("Datasouth"),  after elimination of intercompany
          accounts and transactions.

          Bull Run, through Datasouth, owns approximately 27.1% of the 
          outstanding common stock of Gray Communications  Systems, Inc. 
          ("Gray"). Bull Run accounts for its investment in Gray common stock 
          by the equity method.  The excess of Bull Run's investment  over the 
          underlying  equity of Gray is being  amortized over forty
          years.  The  amortization  is reported as a reduction  in Bull Run's
          equity in earnings of affiliated companies. Bull Run recognized  
          consulting  fees of $368,000  and  $435,000  in the six  months  
          ended  June  30,  1996  and  1995, respectively,  for services 
          rendered in connection with Gray's acquisitions. As of June 30, 1996,
          income from additional  consulting fees of $397,000 has been
          deferred and will be recognized as Gray amortizes goodwill associated
          with the acquisitions over a forty year period. Based in Albany,  
          Georgia, Gray owns and operates  three  NBC  and  three  CBS  
          affiliated  television  stations,  three newspapers  and  other print
          advertising  publications.  Gray is a party to a definitive  
          agreement  relating  to the  purchase  by  Gray  of two  additional
          television stations, a satellite  broadcasting operation and a paging
          business. Gray  is  also a  party  to an  agreement  relating  
          to the  sale of one of its currently owned television stations.

          In January  1995,  Bull Run acquired a 6.9% interest in the  
          outstanding  common stock of Host Communications, Inc. ("HCI") for 
          $906,000. In March 1995, Bull Run acquired 50% of the outstanding 
          common stock of Capital Sports Properties,  Inc. ("CSP")  for  
          approximately  $9,700,000.  CSP's  assets  consist  of  all of the
          outstanding  HCI 8% Series B cumulative  preferred  stock with a 
          stated value of $100 per share and  warrants to purchase  447,002  
          shares of HCI common stock at $.01 per share. Since March 1995, Bull 
          Run has acquired additional common shares of both HCI and CSP, 
          effectively  increasing its ownership in HCI to 9.4% of the
          currently  outstanding  common shares,  and 30.8% of the "fully 
          converted" total common  shares.  HCI  provides  media and  marketing 
          services to  universities, athletic conferences and the National 
          Collegiate Athletic Association  ("NCAA").  Bull Run has accounted 
          for its  investments  in CSP and HCI by the equity method since  
          March 1995.  If the HCI and CSP  investments  had  occurred on January
          1, 1995, pro forma net income and earnings per share would have been  
          approximately $537,000 and $.02,  respectively,  for the six months 
          ended June 30, 1995, after giving effect to certain pro forma  
          adjustments  to reflect Bull Run's pro forma equity in earnings of 
          HCI and CSP, interest expense associated with the

4.       In January 1996,  Bull Run entered into a Note Purchase  Agreement with
         Gray pursuant to which Bull Run purchased an 8% Subordinated  Note (the
         "8% Note") issued by Gray in the principal amount of $10,000,000 due in
         January 2005, with interest due quarterly.  Through June 30, 1996, Bull
         Run has  recognized  $393,333  in  interest  income on the 8% Note.  In
         connection  with the Note Purchase  Agreement,  Gray issued to Bull Run
         warrants  to  purchase  up to 487,500  shares of Gray  common  stock at
         approximately  $17.88 per share.  Warrants  for  300,000 of the 487,500
         shares are fully vested,  with the remaining  warrants  vesting in five
         annual  installments  of 37,500  shares each  beginning  January  1997,
         assuming  the 8%  Note  remains  outstanding.  Vested  warrants  become
         exercisable  in January 1998 and expire in January 2006. The 8% Note is
         subordinated to Gray's  outstanding debt to a bank and an institutional
         lender.  Bull  Run  financed  the  purchase  of  the  8%  Note  with  a
         $10,000,000  increase in its  outstanding  bank term loan borrowings in
         January 1996.

5.        On April 3, 1996,  Datasouth  entered into a Credit  Agreement  with a
          bank which  provides for revolving  loans of up to $3,000,000  through
          April 1999. At Datasouth's discretion,  certain loans under the Credit
          Agreement bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.25%,  while other loans bear 
          interest at the bank's prime rate. As of December 31, 1995, 
          $1,285,000 was outstanding under a line of credit replaced by the 
          Credit Agreement.

          Bull Run also has a revolving credit facility  providing for available
          borrowings  of up to  $1,500,000  until  April 1,  1997,  under  which
          $1,498,795 has been borrowed as of June 30, 1996.


6.        The principal  differences  between the federal  statutory tax rate of
          34% and the  effective  tax  rates of 48.0%  and  43.5%  for the three
          months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and 48.0% and 43.9%
          for the six months  ended June 30,  1996 and 1995,  respectively,  are
          nondeductible goodwill amortization and state income taxes.


7.        Earnings per share is based on the weighted  average  number of shares
          of Bull Run common stock and common  stock  equivalents  (i.e.,  stock
          options)  outstanding  during the period,  computed in accordance with
          the treasury stock method.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

          Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1996, primarily from
the  printer   manufacturing   operations  of  Datasouth  Computer   Corporation
("Datasouth"),  a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Bull Run Corporation ("Bull Run"),
was $5,810,000, compared to $7,132,000 for the same period in 1995. Gross profit
for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 was 28.5% and 30.2% of printer
revenue, respectively.  Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was
$11,855,000,  compared to $14,571,000 for the same period in 1995.  Gross profit
for the six months  ended June 30,  1996 and 1995 was 29.0% and 30.4% of printer
revenue, respectively.

          Revenue from printer operations was lower than the 1995 periods, which
benefitted from strong orders from several key customers.  For example,  printer
sales to The SABRE Group,  Inc.  ("SABRE"),  an affiliate of American  Airlines,
were  approximately  $1.6  million for the three months and $3.7 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1996,  as compared to  approximately  $2.4 million and
$4.7 million for the same respective  periods in 1995. Also,  printer sales to a
large  distributor  were  lower by $0.3  million  for the three  months and $0.9
million for the six months  ended June 30, 1996,  compared to the 1995  periods,
due to a significant printer installation project by the distributor's  customer
maturing  in late  1995.  Short  term  revenue  trends in the  printer  business
fluctuate due to variable  ordering patterns of these and other large customers.
Despite this  volatility,  revenue from printer  operations has been  consistent
over the past four successive quarters.  During the quarter ended June 30, 1996,
Datasouth  began shipping two new products,  a high speed version of the Documax
dot matrix  printer and the  WinLiner,  a portable  thermal  printer.  Datasouth
expects a gradually increasing contribution from these new products.

          Bull Run  periodically  charges  consulting  fees,  payable in monthly
installments,  for  management  assistance  to its  27.1%-owned  investee,  Gray
Communications   Systems,   Inc.   ("Gray"),   relative  to  Gray's  acquisition
activities.  No fees were  charged  during the three months ended June 30, 1996,
however  $500,000 was charged in the first  quarter of 1996. As a result of Bull
Run's 27.1% ownership of Gray,  $135,000 of the $500,000  charged during the six
months  ended  June 30,  1996 was  deferred  to future  periods  for  accounting
purposes.  Deferred  consulting fees, totaling $397,000 as of June 30, 1996, are
currently recognized as income over forty years. In 1995,  consulting fee income
of  $435,000  was  recognized  during  the six months  ended  June 30,  1995 for
management  assistance in connection  with Gray's  acquisitions  of a television
station and a newspaper  publishing  operation.  While there can be no assurance
that  Bull  Run will  recognize  any  consulting  fees in the  future,  Bull Run
anticipates  that  additional  fees will be  recognized  by the closing  date of
Gray's pending acquisition of two television stations, a satellite  broadcasting
operation and a paging business, in connection with additional services provided
relative to that transaction.

          Operating  expenses of $1,479,000  for the three months and $3,259,000
for the six months  ended June 30, 1996  represented  a 16% and a 9%  reduction,
respectively,  in comparison  with the same periods last year, due to reductions
in  compensation  expenses  and  certain  general and  administrative  expenses.
Operating expenses included goodwill amortization  attributable to the Datasouth
merger, amounting to approximately

                 CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, continued

$77,000 for each of the three month  periods  and  $155,000  for each of the six
month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.

          Equity in earnings of  affiliated  companies,  totaling  $317,000  and
$199,000  for the three  months  ended  June 30,  1996 and  1995,  respectively,
included  Bull  Run's   proportionate  share  of  the  earnings  of  Gray,  Host
Communications,  Inc.  and  Capital  Sports  Properties,  Inc.,  net of goodwill
amortization totaling $107,000 and $94,000 for the respective periods. Equity in
earnings of  affiliated  companies  totaled  $333,000  and  $220,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively,  net of goodwill amortization
totaling $214,000 and $180,000 for the respective periods.

          Interest expense, net of interest earned on an 8% Subordinated Note of
Gray in the  principal  amount  of  $10,000,000  due in 2005  (the  "8%  Note"),
totaling  $312,000  for the three  months and  $596,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1996,  resulted from the  $23,500,000  term loans and borrowings on the
Bull Run's revolving credit facilities. Net interest expense of $289,000 for the
three months and $351,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995  resulted  from
the initial  $13,500,000 term loans entered into during March 1995, a $3,000,000
term loan which was replaced by the 8% Note and  short-term  borrowings on lines
of credit and revolving credit facilities.

          The principal  differences  between the federal  statutory tax rate of
34% and the  effective  tax rates of 48.0% and 43.5% for the three  months ended
June 30,  1996 and 1995,  respectively,  and 48.0% and 43.9% for the six  months
ended  June  30,  1996  and  1995,  respectively,   are  nondeductible  goodwill
amortization and state income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

          In  January  1996,  Bull Run  purchased  from  Gray the 8% Note,  with
interest  receivable  quarterly  beginning  March  31,  1996.  The  8%  Note  is
subordinated to Gray's  outstanding debt to a bank and an institutional  lender.
Bull Run financed the purchase  with a $10,000,000  increase in its  outstanding
bank term loan borrowings.  The bank term loans, totaling $23,500,000 as of June
30, 1996, are payable in monthly  installments  of $200,000  beginning  February
1999,  and  currently  bear  interest  at  the  London  Interbank  Offered  Rate
("LIBOR"), plus 1.75%, which was 7.25% as of June 30, 1996.

          Bull  Run  has  a  revolving  bank  credit  facility  providing  up to
$1,500,000 of available credit,  expiring in April 1997, bearing interest at the
bank's  prime  rate,  which was  8.25% as of June 30,  1996.  Substantially  all
available  funds had been borrowed on this credit  facility as of June 30, 1996.
In addition,  Datasouth has a revolving bank credit facility providing for loans
of up to $3,000,000  through April 1999,  bearing interest  principally at LIBOR
plus  2.25%,  which  was 7.70% as of June 30,  1996.  As of June 30,  1996,  the
outstanding balance of Datasouth's revolving credit facility was $1,712,000.

          Bull Run's total  working  capital of $3.5 million as of June 30, 1996
approximated total working capital as of December 31, 1995.

          In April 1996,  Bull Run  announced  that its Board of  Directors  had
reauthorized  the  repurchase  of up to  2,000,000  shares of its common  stock.
Repurchases may be made


<PAGE>



                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                 CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, continued

from time to time in the open market or directly from shareholders at prevailing
market prices,  and may be discontinued at any time. During the six months ended
June 30,  1996,  102,500  shares were  repurchased  at a total cost of $265,000.
Subsequent to June 30, 1996, an additional  125,000 shares were repurchased at a
total cost of $319,000. Bull Run has repurchased a total of 375,500 shares at an
average  cost of $2.60  per share  since  the  initial  Board  authorization  in
November 1994.

          Bull Run anticipates that its current working capital, funds available
under the revolving credit  facilities,  interest income on the 8% Note and cash
flow  from  operations  will be  sufficient  to fund its debt  service,  working
capital  requirements  and capital  spending  requirements for at least the next
twelve  months.   Any  capital  required  for  potential   additional   business
acquisitions  would have to be funded by  issuing  additional  securities  or by
entering into other financial arrangements.
