1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION --
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared by North Star Universal, Inc. ("North Star" or the "Company"),
without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The information furnished in the condensed consolidated
financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such financial
statements. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations. Although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to
make the information presented not misleading, it is suggested that these
condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's latest
annual report on Form 10-K.
Results for the three and six months ended June 30, may not necessarily be
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On May 5, 1995, the Company completed the sale of its shares in Dalworth
Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries, including C.E. Services Inc. (collectively
"C.E. Services") to Amdahl Corporation for $2.5 million cash. The loss on
disposition was approximately $2.1 million, net of an income tax benefit of
approximately $1.3 million. The accompanying condensed consolidated statements
of operations have been restated for all periods presented to reflect C.E.
Services as discontinued operations. The following are summarized results of
operations and financial position for C.E. Services. Results for the period

Earnings per share are based on the average number of shares outstanding
during the period after giving effect to the assumed exercise of outstanding
stock options, except where the effects are antidilutive.
6. INCOME TAXES --
Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between financial
and tax reporting. To the extent the Company's financial reporting basis in its
investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries exceeds its tax basis, and is not
expected to be realized in a tax-free manner, the Company records a deferred tax
liability. At June 30, 1995, the deferred tax liability includes a cumulative
tax effect of approximately $22.2 million and $5.2 million for the differences
in the financial reporting and tax basis of the Company's investments in Michael
Foods and CorVel, respectively.
7. RECLASSIFICATIONS --
Certain 1994 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the financial
statement presentation used in 1995. Such reclassifications had no impact on
previously reported retained earnings or net income.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 vs. THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994
Consolidated revenues increased $2.2 million or 19% to $13.7 million from
$11.5 million in 1994.
Revenues at Americable increased approximately $1.4 million or 15% to
$10.5 million. This includes increased revenues of approximately $1.6 million
and $400,000 resulting from higher demand of networking products and services
and cable assemblies, respectively. Offsetting these increases was
approximately $600,000 of decreased sales of bulk cable and other connectivity
products due to lower mix of volume to contractors and resellers.
Revenues at Transition increased approximately $590,000 or 21%, to $3.4
million which includes increased sales of approximately $280,000 or 15%, to
domestic customers and approximately $310,000 or 32% to international customers.
Overall, these increases are primarily a result of new product introductions and
higher product demand from both new and existing customers. Sales from new
product introductions and enhancements accounted for approximately $863,000 or
24% of net sales for the period.
Consolidated gross profit, as a percent of revenues, increased to 27.8% in
1995 as compared to 27.2% in 1994. Increased margins at Americable are
primarily attributable to a higher mix of cable assembly sales and, to a lesser
extent, improved manufacturing efficiencies within its cable assembly operation.
Decreased margins at Transition were a result of lower pricing on certain
product lines due to increased competition.
The Company's selling, general and administrative expenses increased
$334,000 or 9.9%, to $3.7 million from $3.4 million in 1994. Operating
expenses at Americable increased approximately 6.6% for the period which is
primarily a result of higher sales commissions. Transition had increased
operating expenses of approximately $106,000 or 10.5%, which is primarily a
result of increased sales and marketing expenses associated with its distributor
conference and the addition of administrative and technical support personnel
needed to support its overall growth.
Interest expense is relatively unchanged between years.
The income tax benefits of $325,000 in 1995 and $450,000 in 1994 relate to
the elimination of deferred tax liabilities that will reverse as net operating
losses available for carryforward are utilized in future periods. To the extent
loss carryforwards are realized in the future, deferred taxes will be
reinstated.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries increased $167,000 to
$1,325,000 from $1,158,000 in the previous year. This includes increases of
$121,000 and $46,000 in the equity in earnings of Michael Foods and CorVel
Corporation, respectively, which is a result of higher earnings at each of these
companies. Further information with respect to the results of operations of
Michael Foods and CorVel is contained in the Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation section of their
respective quarterly reports on Form 10-Q as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
The loss from discontinued operations for the period includes the
operating and disposition losses of C.E. Services which was sold May 5, 1995
(see Note 2 to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). The
loss from operations, net of income tax benefits, of $245,000 in 1995 represents
one month of operations prior to the sale versus a loss of $407,000 in 1994 for
a three month period. For the quarter ended June 30, 1995, the Company recorded
a loss on disposition of approximately $2.1 million, net of an income tax
benefit of $1.3 million, related to this sale. The loss on disposition includes
accruals for estimated obligations of $950,000, writeoff of goodwill of
approximately $1.7 million and an additional accrued loss of approximately
$790,000.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 vs. SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994
Consolidated revenues increased $4.8 million or 22% to $26.3 million from
$21.5 million in 1994.
Revenues at Americable increased approximately $2.9 million or 17% to
$19.8 million. This includes increased revenues of approximately $2.8 million
and $290,000 resulting from higher demand from networking products and services
and cable assemblies, respectively. Of this amount, approximately $1.4 million
of sales were attributable to higher volume of networking products with a large
end user customer of which such increase may not continue for the remainder of
1995. Offsetting these increases was approximately $160,000 of decreased sales
of bulk cable and other connectivity products due to lower mix of volume to
contractors and resellers.
Revenues at Transition increased approximately $1.8 million, or 33%, to
$7.1 million which includes increased sales of approximately $1 million or 28%,
to domestic customers and approximately $800,000 or 42% to international
customers. Overall, these increases are primarily a result of new product
introductions and higher product demand from both new and existing customers.
Sales from new product introductions and enhancements accounted for
approximately $1.7 million or 24% of net sales for the period. Transition's
ability to maintain its present level of sales and its continued sales growth is
highly dependent upon its ability to offer new products that meet customer's
demands in a rapidly changing market, particularly in light of the relatively
short life cycle of its products.
Consolidated gross profit, as a percent of revenues, increased to 28.9% in
1995 as compared to 28.8% in 1994. Increased margins at Americable are
primarily attributable to a higher mix of cable assembly sales. Decreased
margins at Transition was a result of lower pricing on certain product lines due
to increased competition.
The Company's selling, general and administrative expenses increased
$487,000 or 7.2%, to $7.2 million from $6.7 million in 1994. Operating expenses
at Americable increased approximately $122,000 or 3% for the period which is
primarily a result of higher sales salaries and commissions offset by an overall
general and administrative expense reductions effected in the third quarter of
1994 and second quarter of 1995. Americable expects, however, that its sales
and marketing expenses, as a percentage of revenues, may increase during the
year through the addition of sales personnel in new geographic locations. These
anticipated increases in operating expenses may result in lower operating
profits at Americable, if the company is unable to maintain current gross profit
margins and continued sales growth.

North Star Universal, Inc. and Subsidiaries
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
Transition had increased operating expenses of approximately $261,000 or
13.8%, which is primarily due to increased sales and marketing expenses
associated with its distributor conference, advertising and participation in
trade shows. In addition, this increase reflects the addition of administrative
and technical support personnel and related facility expenses needed to support
its overall growth. Transition believes that its research and development
expenses will increase in order to achieve market acceptance of new products.
There can be no assurances, however, that its research and development efforts
will result in commercially successful new products in the future. In addition
Transition believes that sales and marketing expenses may continue to increase
in terms of absolute dollars in an effort to differentiate its products and
enhance its competitive position. These anticipated increases in operating
expenses may result in lower operating profit at Transition, if the company is
unable to maintain its current gross profit margins and continued sales growth.
The income tax benefits of $535,000 in 1995 and $940,000 in 1994 relate to
the elimination of deferred tax liabilities that will reverse as net operating
losses available for carryforward are utilized in future periods. To the extent
loss carryforwards are realized in the future, deferred taxes will be
reinstated.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries increased $347,000 to
$2,532,000 from $2,185,000 in the previous year. This includes increases of
$230,000 and $117,000 in the equity in earnings of Michael Foods and CorVel
Corporation, respectively, which is a result of higher earnings at each of these
companies. Further information with respect to the results of operations of
Michael Foods and CorVel is contained in the Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation section of their
respective annual and quarterly reports as filed on Forms 10-K and 10-Q with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
The loss from discontinued operations for the period includes the operating
and disposition losses of C.E. Services which was sold May 5, 1995 (see Note 2
to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). The loss from
operations, net of income tax benefits, was $934,000 in 1995 versus $441,000 in
1994 which is attributable to the significant reduction in the domestic and
international demand for used mainframe systems and features at C.E. Services.
For the quarter ended June 30, 1995 the Company recorded a loss on disposition
of approximately $2.1 million, net of an income tax benefit of $1.3 million,
related to this sale.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Historically, the Company has experienced cash flow deficits from
operations. Cash used in operations was $2.2 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1995 as compared to $3.3 million in 1994. The Company expects
operating cash flow deficits to continue. The Company does not have the use of
cash flow generated by Michael Foods other than proceeds from quarterly
dividends. In each of the six month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, the
Company received dividends of $736,000. There can be no assurance that Michael
Foods will continue to declare such dividends.
Likewise, since CorVel's initial public offering in July 1991, the Company
has not had the use of cash generated by CorVel and its subsidiaries. Since its
initial public offering, CorVel has not declared any dividends, and has
indicated that it does not anticipate doing so for the foreseeable future.
The Company maintains a program whereby it sells subordinated debentures of
various maturities to primarily individual investors. The debentures are
offered on a continuous basis at interest rates that change from time to time
depending on market conditions. Historically, a substantial portion of maturing
debentures have been reinvested in new debentures. At June 30, 1995, the
Company had approximately $41.9 million principal amount of subordinated
debentures outstanding.
For the six months ended June 30, 1995, approximately $3.2 million or 54%
of debenture maturities were reinvested in new debentures. Included within
long-term debt repayments for the six months ended June 30, 1995, is
approximately $2.7 million of redemptions of subordinated debentures. Proceeds
from long-term debt include approximately $2.2 million of new debentures sold
along with $942,000 of compounded interest on debentures. The net activity
under the debenture program for the period resulted in net cash proceeds to the
Company of approximately $435,000.
Americable and Transition maintain a revolving line of credit and term loan
facility which provides borrowings up to $5.5 million due in May 1996.
Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are based on eligible accounts
receivable and inventory with interest at prime plus 1.5%, (10% at June 30,
1995). At June 30, 1995, there were outstanding borrowings of $761,000 under
the revolving line of credit and $1.2 million under the term loan.
At June 30, 1995, North Star had no borrowings outstanding under its $6.5
million revolving credit facility and approximately $4.6 million of cash and
cash equivalents, excluding cash of its operating subsidiaries. As previously
discussed, on May 5, 1995, the Company sold C.E. Services for $2.5 million cash.
The Company believes that its available cash and cash equivalents along with its
