INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Board of Directors
Telecom*USA Publishing Group, Inc.
Cedar Rapids, Iowa
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Telecom*USA
Publishing Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of August 31, 1995 and 1996, and the
related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended August 31, 1996. 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 audits.
We conducted our audits 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 audits provide 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 Telecom*USA
Publishing Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of August 31, 1995 and 1996, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended August 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

TELECOM*USA PUBLISHING GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of business: Telecom*USA Publishing Group, Inc. and subsidiaries
(the "Company") are publishers of telephone directories in a fifteen-state area
primarily in the midwestern United States. Revenues are principally derived from
advertising in such publications.
Accounting estimates: The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies follows:
Principles of consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Telecom*USA Publishing Group, Inc. and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, Telecom*USA Publishing Company and Telecom*USA Neighborhood
Directories, Inc. (liquidated in January 1996) and its 51% owned subsidiary,
OakTel Directory, L.C. (OakTel). All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
OakTel was formed to publish a directory for the Lincoln, Nebraska area and
its first publication was in November 1995. The Company provides directory
services to OakTel at specified prices.
Revenue and expense recognition: Revenue and expenses are recognized on
the accrual basis. Revenues are recorded upon publication of directories.
Deferred expenses consist of production and selling costs on unpublished
directory advertising orders. They are expensed when the related directory is
published and the related revenue of the directory is recognized.
Customer deposits consist of cash received from customers at the time a
sales contract is signed. They are recorded as revenue when the related
directory is published.
Advertising revenue and market sales expense includes contracts for trading
advertising space with various other media companies. These revenues are
recognized in the month of publication and the related prepaid expenses are
recorded at estimated net realizable value. These revenues totaled approximately
$548,000, $600,000, and $950,000 for the years ended August 31, 1994, 1995, and
1996, respectively.
Accounts receivable: In accordance with industry practice, accounts
receivable includes certain unbilled revenue from installment contracts. It is
anticipated that a substantial portion of all such amounts at August 31, 1996
will be collected within one year.
Equipment and furniture and depreciation: Equipment and furniture is
carried at cost. Depreciation expense is computed by the straight-line method
over primarily five or seven years.
Investment in Colorado Directory Company, L.L.C. ("CDC"): The Company is
accounting for its 12.5% investment in CDC by the cost method.
Income tax matters: 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

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.
Intangible assets: Intangible assets are being amortized by the
straight-line method over the following periods:

<CAPTION>
YEARS
-----
<S> <C>
Customer lists (See Note 13)......................... 15
Noncompete agreements................................ 3-10
Organization and loan costs.......................... 1-6
</TABLE>
Intangible assets are periodically reviewed for impairment based upon an
assessment of future operations to ensure that they are appropriately valued.
The Company entered into noncompete agreements and acquired customer lists
for forty and eight directories during the years ended August 31, 1995 and 1996,
respectively.
Stock options: Compensation expense for stock issued through stock options
plans is accounted for using the intrinsic value based method of accounting
prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."
Under this method, compensation is measured as the difference between the
estimated market value of the stock at the date of award less the amount
required to be paid for the stock. The difference, if any, is charged to expense
over the periods of service.
Common stock held by 401(k) profit-sharing plan: The Company's maximum
cash obligation related to these shares is classified outside stockholders'
equity because the shares are not readily traded and could be put to the Company
for cash.
Earnings per common and common equivalent share: Earnings per common and
common equivalent share, assuming no dilution, are determined by dividing net
income by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares
outstanding during each of the periods presented. Dilutive common stock
equivalents related to the stock options and warrants discussed in Note 10 were
determined using the treasury stock method. The convertible debentures are not
common stock equivalents. The estimated fair market value of the Company's
common stock used to calculate the common stock equivalents under the treasury
stock method for the periods presented has been estimated by management or
determined by an independent appraisal. Earnings per common and common
equivalent share, assuming full dilution, assumes conversion of the dilutive
convertible debentures since the date of issuance.
Recently issued accounting standards: In March 1995, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets To Be Disposed Of,"
which will require the Company to review for the impairment of long-lived assets
and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by the Company whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be recoverable. Adoption of SFAS No. 121 is required in fiscal 1997.
In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," which establishes a fair value based method for financial
accounting and reporting for stock-based employee compensation plans. However,
the new standard allows compensation to continue to be measured by using the
intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," but requires

expanded disclosures. SFAS No. 123 is effective in fiscal year 1997. The Company
has elected to continue to apply the intrinsic value based method of accounting
for stock options.
While the Company does not know precisely the impact that will result from
adopting SFAS No. 121 and SFAS No. 123, the Company does not expect the adoption
of SFAS No. 121 or SFAS No. 123 to have a material effect on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.
Fair value of financial instruments: The carrying amount of long-term debt
approximates fair value because these obligations bear interest at current
rates.
NOTE 2. OPTION TO PURCHASE DIRECTORIES
The Company loaned $500,000 to another directory publisher in consideration
of an option to purchase nine of its directories. The note is noninterest
bearing, nonrecourse, and collateralized by the publishing rights to one of the
directories. The option price of the directories is determined based on revenue
of the directories at the time of exercise and other factors. The Company may
exercise the option anytime between June 1, 1997 and June 1, 1999. If the
Company does not exercise its option, the loan is forgiven. If the option is
exercised, the amount of the loan is applied to the option price.
NOTE 3. INVESTMENT IN COLORADO DIRECTORY COMPANY L.L.C.
The Company's investment in Colorado Directory Company, L.L.C. (CDC), a
Colorado limited liability company that publishes directories in Denver and
Boulder, Colorado, consists of the following:

In June 1996, the Company recognized a $500,000 loss on the disposition of
the CDC investment as a result of selling all of its interest in CDC to an
affiliate of another member of CDC for $500,000.
NOTE 4. PLEDGED ASSETS, CURRENT NOTES PAYABLE AND LONG-TERM DEBT
The Company has a $9,764,000 revolving line of credit with a bank, which
expires January 31, 1997. As of August 31, 1995 and 1996, the Company had
$1,532,000 and $2,773,800, respectively, outstanding on the line of credit. The
borrowings bear interest at prime (current effective rate is 8.25% at August 31,
1996), and are collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets. If
borrowings are in excess of $6,000,000 the interest rate is prime plus 3/4%. To
the extent that the line of credit is used to finance acquisitions that cost
more than $1,000,000, the amount borrowed for the acquisition is converted to a
term loan. The amount of the term loan reduces the line of credit on a dollar
for dollar basis. The term loan will be repaid in quarterly installments of
principal and monthly installments of interest over a five-year period and will
bear interest at prime, unless over $6,000,000 is borrowed, then the rate shall
be prime plus 3/4%. The other terms and conditions of the term loan are the
same as the line of credit. As of August 31, 1996, there is a $2,012,400 term
loan outstanding under this agreement.

The Company has convertible unsecured debentures payable to
various individuals and corporations. The convertible
debentures are payable in quarterly payments of interest only

of the holder. The debentures may be converted to common
stock of the Company, at the option of the holder, upon the
earlier of (i) the expiration of two years from the date of
issuance (applies only to debentures issued April 1992), (ii)
upon a public offering of common stock of the Company, or

NOTE 7. LOAN INDUCEMENT FEE
The Company had previously agreed to pay a fee of 1/2% of cash revenues to
three individuals on a monthly basis as compensation for previous financing
provided such individuals. Two of these individuals are stockholders of the
Company and one of these individuals is on the Company's Board of Directors. The
fee was to be paid through October 31, 2000. For 1994, 1995, and 1996, the loan
inducement fee expense was approximately $153,000, $190,000, and none,
respectively, which is included in interest expense.
In August 1995, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a resolution to
prepay the fee according to a formula contained in the original agreement.
Therefore, the remaining liability of $1,330,000 was recorded at August 31,
1995. The payment of the remaining liability was made during the year ended
August 31, 1996.
NOTE 8. STOCKHOLDER AGREEMENTS
The common stockholders of the Company have entered into a stockholder
agreement that provides for the following:
- The stockholders may not sell, transfer, or pledge their stock without
first offering it to the Company, and secondly to the other stockholders,
at fair market value.

NOTE 8. STOCKHOLDER AGREEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
- Any gift of the stock must be approved by the Company and will be subject
to the terms of the stockholder agreement. The gift may be made to a
spouse, child of the stockholder or to a charitable organization or
private foundation.
- Upon the death of a stockholder, any transferee of the stock will be
subject to the terms of the stockholder agreement.
- Each stockholder has co-sale rights.
- Each stockholder has piggyback rights upon a registration of the stock.
- Written action of 51% of the stock may amend or cancel the agreement.
NOTE 9. RETIREMENT AND BONUS PLAN
The Company has a 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan for those employees who have
completed one year of service and who are at least 18 years of age. The plan
provides for contributions in such amounts as the Board of Directors may
annually determine. The amount charged to expense during 1994, 1995, and 1996
was approximately $56,000, $80,000, and $117,500, respectively. The
contributions for 1994 and 1995 have been made with the Company's common stock.
The Company plans to make the 1996 contribution with cash.
In the event a terminated plan participant desires to sell his or her
shares of the Company's stock, or if certain employees elect to diversify their
account balances, the Company may be required to purchase the shares from the
participant at their fair market value. To the extent that shares of common
stock held by the 401(k) profit-sharing plan are not readily traded, a sponsor
must reflect the maximum cash obligation related to those securities outside of
stockholders' equity. As of August 31, 1996, 38,273 shares held by the 401(k)
profit-sharing plan, at a fair value of $5.75 per share, have been reclassified
from stockholder's equity to liabilities.
The Company has bonus plans for substantially all of its nonsales personnel
based on obtaining certain profitability goals. These bonuses totaled
approximately $362,000, $471,000, and $720,000 for 1994, 1995, and 1996,
respectively.
NOTE 10. STOCK OPTION PLAN AND STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS

In connection with previous financing provided by three individuals (see
Note 7), the Company issued three stock purchase warrants enabling the holders
to purchase 488,650 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.01 per
share. The stock purchase warrants are exercisable through November 20, 2000.
All vested options and stock purchase warrants were exercised prior to the
acquisition of the Company by McLeod, Inc. on September 20, 1996. (See Note 14).
NOTE 11. RESTRUCTURING LOSS
In January 1994, the Company restructured Telecom*USA Neighborhood
Directories, Inc. Previously it published eleven neighborhood directories in the
Chicago, Illinois area. The Company has decided to keep certain market areas and
produce two directories similar to the Company's other products. The expense
included in 1994 includes previously deferred expenses on books which will no
longer be published and a write-down of the purchased customer list and
agreement not-to-compete.
NOTE 12. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING ESTIMATE
During the year ended August 31, 1996, the Company evaluated the turnover
of its customer lists and determined that a 15-year life was more appropriate
than the 3-10 year life it was presently using. The effect of this change was to
increase net income for 1996 by approximately $781,000, equal to $0.23 per
average common share outstanding.

NOTE 13. COMMITMENT TO PURCHASE EQUIPMENT
During the year ended August 31, 1996, the Company has capitalized
approximately $200,000 related to a telephone sales force automation project.
The Company estimates it will cost approximately $1,100,000 to complete the
project.
NOTE 14. REORGANIZATION OF COMPANY AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On September 20, 1996 the Company was acquired by McLeod, Inc. pursuant to
an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization. Under the Agreement, the Company was
merged into McLeod Reverse Merging Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of McLeod, Inc
with the Company as the surviving corporation. Immediately after the merger each
share of the Company was converted into the right to receive $12.75 in cash.
This acquisition resulted in a total purchase price of approximately $75.7
million. This purchase price consisted of approximately $74.1 million in cash
and $1.6 million resulting from McLeod, Inc. entering into a deferred
compensation program with all holders of non-vested options to purchase shares
of the Company's common stock. Prior to the acquisition all debentures discussed
in Note 4 were converted into common stock and all vested stock options and
stock purchase warrants discussed in Note 10 were exercised.

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA
The following unaudited pro forma financial information has been prepared to
give effect to the acquisitions of MWR Telecom, Inc. ("MWR"), Ruffalo, Cody &
Associates, Inc. ("Ruffalo, Cody") and Telecom*USA Publishing Group, Inc.
("Telecom*USA Publishing") by McLeod, Inc. (the "Company") in April 1995, July
1996 and September 1996, respectively. The unaudited pro forma financial
statements reflect such acquisitions using the purchase method of accounting,
assuming, for the pro forma statements of operations data, that such
acquisitions were consummated at the beginning of the periods presented. The
unaudited pro forma financial information is derived from and should be read in
conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company, Ruffalo,
Cody and Telecom*USA Publishing and the Financial Statements of MWR and the
related Notes thereto. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available
information and certain assumptions that management believes to be reasonable.
Final purchase adjustments may differ from the pro forma adjustments herein.
The unaudited pro forma financial information is provided for informational
purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or
operating results that would have occurred had the acquisitions been consummated
on the date presented or at the beginning of the periods presented, nor is it
necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial position.
The unaudited historical information as of and for the six month period
ended June 30, 1996 may not be indicative of the results of operations for a
full year. Specifically, due primarily to seasonal factors generally resulting
in higher revenues during the first six months of a given year, the unaudited
historical information presented for Telecom*USA Publishing for such periods is
not indicative of the results of operations for a full year.

acquisition of Ruffalo, Cody by the Company to assets acquired, including
goodwill and customer lists, and to record the issuance of the Company's
Class A Common Stock and options to purchase Class A Common Stock valued at
$24.75 per share, the average closing sales prices of the Class A Common
Stock on the Nasdaq National Market during the five business days before and
after July 15, 1996, the date the Company acquired Ruffalo, Cody. Assumes
none of the conditions for the payment of certain additional consideration
are met and that the total net purchase price for the Ruffalo, Cody
acquisition is $17,053,860, which is computed as follows, assuming all
options to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock granted in connection
with the acquisition will be exercised upon vesting:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Cash................................................................................ $ 4,807,898
361,420 shares of Class A Common Stock valued at $24.75 per share................... 8,945,145
Options to purchase 158,009 shares of Class A Common Stock valued at $24.75 per
share............................................................................. 3,910,723
Less cash to be received upon exercise of vested options............................ (609,906)
-----------
Total net purchase price............................................................ $ 17,053,860
===========
</TABLE>
If all of the conditions for the payment of the additional consideration
were met, the total net purchase price would include additional cash of
$50,782 and 113,387 additional shares of Class A Common Stock valued at the
market price at the time of issuance. This additional consideration would be
allocated to intangible assets, common stock and additional paid-in capital.

into shares of Telecom*USA Publishing common stock and the exercise of
options and warrants to purchase Telecom*USA Publishing common stock.
(4) To record the preliminary allocation of the purchase price for the
acquisition of Telecom*USA Publishing by the Company to assets acquired,
including intangibles. The Company paid $74,060,427 in cash to the
shareholders of Telecom*USA Publishing and established an incentive plan for
the holders of non-vested options to purchase shares of Telecom*USA
Publishing common stock.
(5) To record a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets acquired due to the
uncertainty of realizing the benefit of the Company's loss carryforwards.
(6) To eliminate Ruffalo, Cody and Telecom*USA Publishing equity components,

(1) Includes operations of MWR from April 29, 1995 to December 31, 1995.
(2) Includes operations of MWR from January 1, 1995 to April 28, 1995.
(3) Includes revenue from an agreement with a major long distance carrier to
provide telemarketing services. Over 40% of Ruffalo, Cody's revenues in 1995
and a significant portion of its revenues in 1996 were derived from this
agreement. The major long distance carrier has informed the Company that it
intends to terminate this agreement effective December 31, 1996.
(4) To recognize the costs associated with the directories in progress at the
time of the Company's acquisition of Telecom*USA Publishing.
(5) To adjust depreciation and amortization to include amortization of
intangibles acquired in the Company's acquisitions of Ruffalo, Cody and
Telecom*USA Publishing. Intangibles acquired in these acquisitions will be
amortized over periods ranging from 5 years to 25 years. These adjustments
assume that none of the conditions for the payment of certain additional
consideration in the Ruffalo, Cody acquisition are met. If all such
conditions were met, amortization of the intangibles would be increased over
their estimated remaining lives.
(6) To adjust depreciation and amortization to include amortization of
intangibles and to reflect the estimated depreciation of the purchase price
allocated to MWR's property and equipment from January 1, 1995 to April 28,
1995, the date of the Company's acquisition of MWR. Intangibles acquired in
the Company's acquisition of MWR are being amortized over 15 years.
(7) To eliminate the interest expense recorded on Telecom*USA Publishing
convertible debentures that were converted to shares of Telecom*USA
Publishing common stock immediately prior to the acquisition of Telecom*USA
Publishing by the Company.
(8) Net income (loss) does not include a pro forma adjustment for income taxes
due to the availability of net operating loss carryforwards and a valuation
allowance.
(9) EBITDA consists of operating loss before depreciation and amortization. The
Company has included EBITDA data because it is a measure commonly used in
the industry. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under
generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered an
alternative to net income as a measure of performance or to cash flows as a
measure of liquidity.
