in the opinion of the Company, all adjustments (which include only normal,
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial information
for such periods.
 
  NOTE 2. On June 19, 1996, the Company completed an initial public offering of
13,800,000 shares of Common Stock (the "IPO"). Prior to the IPO, the Company
had been a wholly-owned subsidiary of R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company ("R.R.
Donnelley"). Approximately $247.4 million of the net proceeds of $267.4 million
from the IPO were used to repay the amounts owed by the Company to R.R.
Donnelley and the amounts owed by a subsidiary of the Company under a revolving
credit facility. As a result of the repayment, short-term debt and short-term
debt and advances-due to related party have been substantially eliminated from
the June 30, 1996 balance sheet. This reduction in debt is expected to
substantially reduce the Company's interest expense for the remainder of the
year.
 
  As a result of the IPO, the amount of outstanding shares of common stock was
increased 13,834,000 shares to 22,434,000 shares (including 34,000 of
restricted shares granted to key executives) from 8,600,000 shares outstanding
prior to the IPO. Additional paid-in capital was increased to $379.1 million
primarily due to the proceeds from the IPO.
 
ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
 Three months ended June 30, 1996 compared to three months ended June 30, 1995
 
  Total net sales increased 23.0% to $69.4 million for the second quarter of
1996 from $56.4 million for the second quarter of 1995. This $13.0 million
increase was comprised of a $11.1 million, or 24.7%, increase in direct
marketing sales and a $1.9 million, or 16.1%, increase in reference sales.
Approximately one half of the direct marketing sales growth resulted from the
increase in International Communication & Data PLC ("ICD") sales (acquired in
May 1995). Marketing database sales grew $2.4 million due to continuing strong
demand for the AnalytiX product. The growth in reference services was due to a
25.1% increase in MetroNet and National Directory Assistance ("NDA") on-line
services, while directory publishing services grew 11.3%.
 
  Database and production costs primarily represent expenses incurred to
maintain the Company's database and customize data for client use, including
salaries and wages, amortization of capitalized data costs, facility costs and
depreciation of equipment. Database and production costs increased for the
three months ended June 30, 1996 to $37.8 million, or 54.6% as a percentage of
total net sales, from $29.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995,
or 51.6% as a percentage of total net sales, primarily due to investment for
growth in the NDA service, addition of ICD expenses, increased expenses related
to an upgrade of computer capacity added in the second half of 1995 and
increased survey data amortization expense.
 
  Selling expenses increased $2.9 million, or 27.0%, from the three month
period ended June 30, 1995 and as a percentage of total net sales to 19.6% from
18.9% in the prior year period. The increase in selling expenses as a
percentage of total net sales resulted primarily from the acquisition of ICD
and the inclusion of their selling
 
                                       4
<PAGE>
 
expenses related to the completion and sale of compiled data responses to
their annual survey. The increase in the amount of selling expenses from 1995
to 1996 was due to the inclusion of ICD and increased selling expenses related
to increased volume across the Company.
 
  General and administrative expenses grew $2.9 million, or 76.6%, from the
three months ended June 30, 1995 and increased as a percentage of total net
sales from 6.8% to 9.7% for the three months ended June 30, 1996. The increase
in these expenses resulted primarily from the acquisition of ICD along with
increased staff costs.
 
  Provision for doubtful accounts increased from the second quarter of 1995,
commensurate with the growth in total net sales and remained constant as a
percentage of net sales at 0.8%.
 
  Earnings from operations of $8.7 million decreased $1.7 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1996 from $10.4 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1995 due to the foregoing factors. Also, the Company's operating
earnings for the second quarter 1995 benefited in an amount estimated at $2.0
million from the deferral of expenses from the second quarter of 1995 to the
second half of 1995.
 
  Interest expense--related party, primarily paid to a subsidiary of R.R.
Donnelley, decreased from the second quarter of 1996 by $0.3 million due to
the elimination of the debt subsequent to completion of the IPO. Interest
expense is expected to be substantially reduced for the remainder of the year.
 
  The Company's tax expense decreased $0.7 million compared to the second
quarter of 1995 due to the reduction in earnings before income taxes. The
effective tax rate exceeds the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to
the effect of non-deductible goodwill amortization.
 
  Net income decreased $1.0 million to $1.5 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1996 as a result of the foregoing factors.
 
 Six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to six months ended June 30, 1995
 
  Total net sales increased 16.5% to $123.7 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 from $106.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995. This
$17.5 million increase resulted from a $14.1 million, or 16.9%, increase in
direct marketing sales and a $3.4 million, or 14.9%, increase in reference
sales. Direct marketing sales growth was due to the increase in ICD sales of
$7.1 million, an increase in marketing database sales of $3.3 million due to
strong demand for the AnalytiX product and more modest increases across all
other areas. Reference sales growth was primarily due to a 29.4% increase in
the Company's MetroNet and NDA on-line services.
 
  Database and production costs increased from $59.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1995, or 55.9% as a percentage of total net sales, to
$71.4 million, or 57.8% as a percentage of total net sales, for the six months
ended June 30, 1996. This growth was due to increased expenses related to the
start up of the NDA services of $2.6 million, increased ICD expenses of $2.1
million, increased U.S. survey expenses and expenses related to the upgrade of
computer capacity. The growth in database and production costs as a percentage
of sales is primarily due to the expenses related to the NDA service, first
introduced in 1995.
 
  Amortization of goodwill increased 3.5% to $3.8 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1996. This increase reflected the increased goodwill related to
the acquisition of ICD.
 
  Selling expenses increased $4.4 million, or 20.8%, from the first six months
of 1995 and as a percentage of total net sales to 20.5% for the first six
months of 1996 from 19.8% for the first six months of 1995. The increase in
selling expenses as a percentage of total net sales resulted primarily from
the acquisition of ICD and increased costs due to sales increases in the
marketing database software and survey operations, where selling expenses as a
percentage of total net sales is higher than for the Company's other
operations.
 
 
                                       5
<PAGE>
 
  General and administrative expenses grew $3.9 million, or 51.1%, from the
first six months of 1996, and increased as a percentage of total net sales from
7.3% to 9.4% for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The increase in these
expenses resulted primarily from the acquisition of ICD and increased staff
costs.
 
  Earnings from operations of $10.4 million decreased $3.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 from $13.5 million for the six months ended June 30,
1995 due to the foregoing factors. Also, the Company's operating earnings for
the first half of 1995 benefited in an amount estimated at $2.0 million from
the deferral of expenses from the second quarter 1995 to the second half of
1995.
 
  Interest expense--related party, primarily paid to a subsidiary of R.R.
Donnelley, increased $0.1 million due to higher average debt levels for the
first six months of 1996. The higher debt levels were required to acquire ICD
and to fund short-term working capital needs. Approximately $247.4 million of
the net proceeds of $267.4 million from the IPO were used to reduce the
Company's debt. Interest expense is expected to be substantially reduced for
the remainder of the year.
 
  The Company's tax expense decreased $1.4 million compared to the six months
ended June 30, 1995 due to the reduction in earnings before income taxes. The
effective tax rate exceeds the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the
effect of non-deductible goodwill amortization.
 
  Net income decreased $2.1 million to a loss of $1.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 as a result of the foregoing factors.
 
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
  For the first six months, operating cash flow (net income (loss) plus
depreciation and amortization of $11.5 million) was up $0.1 million or 1.0%
from the prior year period. The Company believes that cash flows from
operations will be sufficient to fund its ongoing operations on a long-term
basis and continued growth and investment. The Company expects the credit
agreement described below to be available for seasonal cash needs and
acquisitions.
 
  Capital expenditures for the first months totaled $15.4 million, an increase
of $3.0 million over the first six months of 1995. Capital expenditures for the
full year are expected to be approximately $30 million.
 
  The Company has entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of banks
(the "Credit Agreement") under which it will be entitled to borrow up to $45
million on a revolving credit basis. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will
mature in five years and will bear interest (i) at the prime rate announced by
the bank acting as agent for the syndicate, (ii) at the LIBOR rate plus,
depending on the Company's leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio, up
to 42.5 basis points per annum, or (iii) at a rate determined by competitive
bidding. At June 30, 1996, there were no borrowings outstanding under the
credit agreement.
 
OUTLOOK
 
  Historically, the Company's net sales build quarterly through the year, with
the majority of net sales being achieved in the second half of a given year. In
1993, 1994 and 1995, total net sales of the Company during the second half of
the year constituted 56.2%, 56.3% and 55.3%, respectively, of total net sales
for the year.
 
  Many of the Company's expenses are incurred ratably throughout the year and,
when combined with the quarterly revenue pattern discussed above, result
historically in fluctuations in earnings from operations. Earnings from
operations are strongest in the second half of the year. Earnings from
operations in the second half of 1993, 1994 and 1995 constituted 80.7%, 70.4%
and 55.6%, respectively, of total earnings from operations for the year. Had
certain expense deferral actions discussed above in this Item 2 not been taken
in the second quarter of 1995 (to the detriment of operating earnings for the
second half of 1995) the Company estimates that the percentage of earnings from
operations for the second half of 1995 would have been 62.1% of the full year's
earnings from operations.

<PAGE>
 
  Management expects the historical patterns of larger second half portions of
the year's sales and operating earnings to occur again in 1996. In addition,
compared to the first half of 1996 and to the last half of 1995, management
expects significantly lower interest expense, the result of the debt repayment
in June using the net proceeds received from the IPO.
 
                          PART II--OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
 
  In 1993, the Company purchased the assets of Computerized Marketing
Technologies, Inc. and affiliated companies ("CMT") relating to a database
created through the use of questionnaires distributed to consumers. Following
this purchase, the Company continued CMT's practice of contracting with
Computerized Image & Data Systems, Inc. ("CIDS") for CIDS to provide data
input services with respect to completed surveys. CIDS had been subcontracting
a portion of these services to a correctional facility maintained by the State
of Texas. This facility was a major supplier of data input services to the
State of Texas, including services with respect to voter registration and
drivers' license records, and according to CIDS, was selected as a
subcontractor, in part, because of the procedures followed by the facility to
safeguard the information made available to the prisoners. In June 1994, the
Company became aware of a report that a woman in Ohio, who apparently had
completed a Company survey, had received a letter purporting to contain
sexually explicit language from a convicted rapist held in the facility that
provided data input services. Immediately after becoming aware of this report,
the Company requested the third party to terminate its subcontract with the
facility. On April 18, 1996, a complaint was filed in the District Court of
Travis County, Texas (Beverly J. Dennis v. Metromail Corporation et al., Cause
No. 96-04451) against the Company, R.R. Donnelley, CIDS, the Texas Department
of Criminal Justice, the executive director of the Texas Department of
Criminal Justice and the chairman of the Texas Board of Criminal Justice by
the woman who allegedly had received the letter. The complaint alleges the
following causes of action against the Company and R.R. Donnelley and certain
of the other defendants: (1) defendants' conduct represented an intentional or
reckless disregard of plaintiffs' safety; (2) the conduct of the Company, R.R.
Donnelley and CIDS in inducing plaintiffs to provide information without
disclosing to plaintiffs that such information would be provided to convicted
felons constituted fraud; (3) defendants have been unjustly enriched by their
actions; (4) defendants' conduct resulted in the invasion of plaintiffs'
privacy; (5) defendants' conduct resulted in the infliction of severe
emotional distress upon plaintiffs; and (6) defendants were grossly negligent
in entrusting plaintiffs' information to convicted felons. In addition, the
complaint alleged two causes of action solely against the Texas Department of
Criminal Justice and the two state officials. The complaint seeks restitution,
actual and exemplary damages in an unspecified amount and injunctive relief on
behalf of the named plaintiff and a purported class consisting of all persons
who completed Company surveys and whose completed surveys were processed by
inmates in the Texas prison system from January 1, 1993 to the present time.
The Company is not yet able to determine the number of persons comprising the
purported class but believes the number of persons who completed surveys in
this period and whose surveys were processed by such inmates could exceed 1.3
million. The Company intends to defend vigorously this suit. The Company had
removed the case to the United States District Court for the Western District
of Texas but the case was subsequently remanded to state court. The Company
has filed a motion to dismiss all counts against it. If the motion is not
granted, the Company intends to challenge certification of the class, and the
Company believes that if such challenge is successful, this litigation would
not have a material adverse effect on the Company. However, because this
litigation is in its early stages, it is not possible to make a meaningful
determination of the ultimate outcome or to make an estimate of the loss, if
any, should the outcome be unfavorable. The Company has made a preliminary
estimate that its costs of litigating the case will be $1.5 million. The
Company's insurer has agreed to assume the defense of this case, subject to a
reservation of rights to deny coverage. In the event the Company's insurer
were to successfully deny coverage, R.R. Donnelley has agreed to pay the legal
fees and expenses incurred by the Company in defending this case, but the
Company would be responsible for any other amounts payable by it as a result
of this case. Because of such agreements to pay such fees and expenses, such
legal fees and expenses will not affect the Company's cash flows; however, if
R.R. Donnelley were to pay such fees and expenses, applicable accounting
principles would require the Company to recognize such fees and expenses as
incurred and apply all payments by R.R. Donnelley in respect of such fees and
expenses to additional paid-in capital. No assurances can be given that the
costs of litigating this case will not exceed $1.5 million or that this
litigation will not result in a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, operating results or financial condition.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
 
  Prior to the IPO, the Company had been a wholly-owned subsidiary of R.R.
Donnelley. During the second quarter of 1996, two special meetings of R.R.
Donnelley, as sole stockholder of the Company, were held. At a special meeting
held April 23, 1996, R.R. Donnelley approved the Amended and Restated
Metromail Corporation 1996 Stock Incentive Plan. At a special meeting held
June 7, 1996, R.R. Donnelley approved the Metromail Corporation 1996 Broad-
Based Employee Stock Plan.
