Independent Auditor's Report
To the Board of Directors
Journal-Star Printing Co.
Lincoln, Nebraska
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
Journal-Star Printing Co. and subsidiary as of September 30, 1994 and the
related consolidated statements of income, retained earnings, 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 audit.
We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for
our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Journal-Star Printing Co. and subsidiary as of September 30, 1994, and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1994 and 1995 (Unaudited)
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Plattsmouth Journal
Company. All material intercompany items and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.
Securities:
Securities are carried at amortized cost which approximates
market value.
Inventories:
Inventories consist of newsprint, printing plates and ink and
are valued at the lower of cost or market. The cost of
newsprint is determined by the last-in, first-out method while
the cost of printing plates and ink is determined by the first-
in, first-out method. The use of the last-in, first-out method
of determining the cost of newsprint inventories had the effect
of decreasing these inventories by approximately $306,000 as of
September 30, 1994, $362,000 as of March 31, 1994, and $435,090
as of March 31, 1995, as compared to what they would have been
under the first-in, first-out method.
Property and equipment:
Property and equipment is carried at cost. Depreciation is
computed primarily by the straight-line method over the
following useful lives:
Years
Land improvements 10-15
Buildings 10-50
Equipment 3-20
Depreciation for the year ended September 30, 1994 and the six
months ended March 31, 1994 and 1995 totaled $729,944, $335,700,
and $468,486, respectively.
Income taxes:
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby
deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary
differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and
deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary
differences. Temporary differences are the differences between
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax
bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance
when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not
that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for
the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of
enactment. The Company's temporary differences related
primarily to the allowance for doubtful accounts, property and
equipment, pension costs, and certain accrued expenses.

and 1995, respectively.

The unaudited information furnished reflects all adjustments,
consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary to a fair presentation of the
financial position as of March 31, 1995 and the results of
operations and cash flows for the six-month periods ended
March 31, 1994 and 1995. The results of the six-month periods

The Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering
substantially all of its full-time employees, and those part-time
employees eligible under ERISA guidelines, after attainment of
defined age and service requirements. The benefits are based on
the employee's years of service and compensation. The Company's

can be deducted for federal income tax purposes. Contributions
are intended to provide not only for benefits attributed to
service to date but also for those expected to be earned in the
future.
The following table sets forth the plan's funded status and the
amounts recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements as
of and for the year ended September 30, 1994.

obligation $ 5,342,000
Unrecognized net gain from past experience
different from that assumed 43,000
Unrecognized prior service costs (82,000)
Unrecognized transition gain as of October 1,
1985 being recognized over 15 years (994,000)
Prepaid pension costs $ 4,309,000
Net pension (credit) includes the following
components:
Service cost - benefits earned during the period $ 304,000
Interest cost on projected benefit obligation 532,000
Actual loss on plan assets 126,000
Net amortization and deferrals (1,563,000)
$ (601,000)
The weighted average discount rate was 8.0%, the rate of increase
in future compensation levels used in determining the actuarial
present value of the projected benefit obligation was 4.5% and the
expected long-term rate of return on assets was 10%.
The Plan has been amended to conform with the provisions set forth
in the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and subsequent legislation through
September 30, 1994.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements
presented on the following pages are based on the historical financial
statements of the Company and reflect the pro forma effects of the
acquisition of the remaining 50.25% of the outstanding common stock of
Journal-Star Printing Co. (JSPC) and the issuance of 1,646,643 shares of

ended September 30, 1994, and the six months ended March 31, 1994 and 1995
were prepared as if the acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of
the respective periods.
These pro forma financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the
results of operations that might have occurred had the acquisition taken
place at the beginning of the period, or to project the Company's results
of operations at any future date or for any future period. The pro forma
