Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulations S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
results for the ten periods ended October 9, 1994, are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ended December 31, 1994. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
the Journal Communications, Inc. annual report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1993.
2. The Registrant divides its calendar year into thirteen four-week
accounting periods, except that the first and thirteenth periods may
be longer or shorter to the extent necessary to make each accounting
year end on December 31. Registrant follows a practice of
publishing its financial statement at the end of the third
accounting period (its first quarter) and at the end of the sixth
accounting period (its second quarter), and at the end of the tenth
accounting period (its third quarter).

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Third quarter revenues were $194,518,000, an increase of 12.7% over 1993.
However, expenses also were up, and as a result, net earnings were
$13,256,000, up 7.4% over the prior year.
For the 10 periods year-to-date, revenues total $470,841,000, up 10.8%.
Year-to-date, net earnings were $32,819,000, up 4.9%. We expect business
to pick up in the fourth quarter with the strengthening retail market for
our publishing and broadcasting operations, and new customers in our
printing businesses.
During the third quarter, Journal/Sentinel Inc. revenue was up almost $5
million over the previous year. Operating earnings were up 14.7%. The
revenue increase is a result of a 15% growth in classified advertising
over a year ago, while retail sales were up 7%.
Third quarter sales at WTMJ Inc. were up $3,101,000, or 19.5%. Third
quarter 1994 earnings were up $2,226,000. Increases were particularly
strong at WTMJ-AM with its broadcasts of the Green Bay Packers, and at our
ABC affiliate in Las Vegas, Nev., KTNV-TV. Political revenue at KTNV was
more than six times the quarterly budget, and spot revenue was up 21% over
last year.
At Perry Printing Corp. revenue for the quarter was up 11.5%, and earnings
were up $926,000. Operating earnings at Waterloo are ahead of both budget
and last year. However, Baraboo has a year-to-date loss due to the loss
of the newspaper free standing insert volume from Sullivan Marketing and
the continued difficulty of getting the new M-3000 press operational.
NorthStar Print Group Inc. had sales up $1,206,000, but earnings dropped.
The Norway/Watertown operation is struggling with a change from foil to
metalized paper for beer labels. Both Milwaukee and Label Products &
Design are having a good year, with earnings ahead of budget and a year
ago.
ADD Inc. continues its record-setting pace, with sales for the quarter up
$3,702,000 over a year ago, and earnings up $1,086,000. The Wisconsin
operations are making their budget target, and the Ohio operations are
exceeding theirs. The Carrier Pigeon is continuing a successful
turnaround, and Trumbull Printing has been very successful in attracting
new business.
MRC Telecommunications Inc. had quarterly sales up 9.8%, with earnings up
9.7%, which is below budget but ahead of last year.
IPC Software/Publishing Services had a sales increase of $1,509,000, but
earnings dropped $1,472,000. The start-up of a printing operation at the
Fremont, Calif., plant has had a negative impact on earnings. Nordoc
Software Services in France was behind the earnings budget for the
quarter, but improved during the 10th period.
PrimeNet DataSystems contributed $5,949,000 in revenue during the first 10
periods of the year. PrimeNet has been operating at a loss, but is now
beginning to market its proprietary software products.
Working capital remains strong at $106 million, while total assets now
exceed $471 million. Total stockholders equity is $362.3 million. During
the quarter, dividends paid per share were $.45 or $1.35 year-to-date.
There were no significant charges in the Company's financial position
during the third quarter of 1994. There are no major outstanding
commitments other than for normal operations that would require
utilization of the Company's capital resources.
