 1.  The financial information in this report has not been audited, but in the
     opinion of management is based on estimates which include all adjustments
     (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to
     present fairly such information.  The operating results for the three and
     six month periods ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, are not necessarily
     indicative of results to be expected for the full year due to the seasonal
     nature of some of the company's businesses.  The financial statements
     included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
     and notes included in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
     ended December 31, 1993.

     Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for comparability
     purposes.

 3.  On October 4, 1993, the company purchased the additional 50% interest in
     the Macmillan/McGraw-Hill School Publishing Company for $337.5 million in
     cash.  The company now owns 100% of Macmillan/McGraw-Hill and it is
     consolidated in McGraw-Hill's operations from the date of acquisition of
     the additional 50% interest.  Prior to the acquisition of the additional
     50% interest, the company accounted for its 50% interest under the equity
     method.

     The following pro forma information presents the consolidated results of
     operations of the company for the three and six month periods ended June
     30, 1993 as if the acquisition of the additional 50% of Macmillan/McGraw-
     Hill had occurred at the beginning of 1993, after giving effect to certain
     adjustments, including amortization of goodwill and other intangibles,
     increased interest expense from debt issued to fund the acquisition and
     related income tax effects.  Pro forma results for the three months are:
     operating revenue $670.2 million; net income $48.3 million and earnings per
     common share $.98 and for the six months are: operating revenue $1,189.4
     million; net income $51 million and earnings per common share $1.04.  These
     pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of those that would have
     occurred had the acquisition taken place at the beginning of 1993.

 4.  The allowance for doubtful accounts, the components of inventory and the
     accumulated amortization of prepublication costs were as follows:

               Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operating
              --------------------------------------------------
                    Results and Financial Condition
                    -------------------------------

Operating Results - Comparing Periods Ended June 30, 1994 and 1993
- - ------------------------------------------------------------------

The company acquired its partner's 50% interest in the Macmillan/
McGraw-Hill School Publishing Company in October 1993.  The company now owns
100% of the former joint venture company, renamed the McGraw-Hill School
Publishing Company in 1994.  School Publishing's operations are consolidated in
the company's segment results in 1994 in the Educational and Professional
Publishing segment.  1993's results reflect the company's 50% equity share of
the former joint venture's results.

Three Months
- - ------------

Consolidated Review
- - -------------------

Operating revenue for the quarter grew $157.4 million, or 32.1%, to $648.3
million.  $132.6 million of the revenue increase reflects the consolidation of
School Publishing.  The remainder of the revenue increase reflects increases in
Financial Services, the continued rebound in advertising-based businesses and a
good performance by Shepard's, the company's legal publisher.  Net income
increased 11.3% to $48.0 million from $43.2 million reflecting full ownership of
School Publishing, and improved results at Financial Information Services,
Broadcasting and Business Week.  Earnings per share were 97 cents versus 88
cents last year.

Total expenses in 1994 increased $133.2 million or 31.3% reflecting the
inclusion of School Publishing.  Excluding School Publishing, the company's
expenses increased 4.7% due primarily to volume increases in certain market
focus groups and some cost increases.

Net interest expense increased $4.9 million due primarily to increased
borrowings associated with the acquisition of the additional 50% of the school
publishing joint venture and an increase in the average borrowing rate.

The provision for taxes as a percent of income before taxes was 41.2% in the
1994 quarter and 39.8% in 1993.  The increase primarily reflects the increase in
the corporate federal income tax rate from 34% to 35% that was enacted in last
year's third quarter retroactive to January 1, 1993.

Segment Review
- - --------------

Revenue for the Educational and Professional Publishing segment increased $140.2
million from last year, due largely to the inclusion of School Publishing
revenues of $132.6 million.  Revenue increases were also reported by Shepard's
and medical publishing.  Internationally, book publishing revenues increased in
Asia and Ibero-America but declined in Canada and Europe.   Operating profit for
the segment increased sharply reflecting the inclusion of School Publishing.
School Publishing's revenues declined from last year due to a less favorable
adoption cycle in 1994, but cost containment measures reduced the impact on
profits.  Excluding School Publishing, the combined operating results of the
company's other publishing units improved from last year due mainly to the
performance at Shepard's.  The company is proceeding with plans to consolidate
certain functions and systems of School Publishing and its other book publishing
operations.  This consolidation is expected to generate annual savings of more
than $10 million, which will begin to be realized later in the year.

Financial Services' revenue grew $11.9 million, or 7.0%, and operating profit
increased $2.5 million, or 4.9%, buoyed by an excellent performance from the
Financial Information Services Group.  The improved performance was led by
equity investor services, J.J. Kenny evaluations and information services and
MMS International, as well as the continued turnaround at DRI.  The S&P Ratings
Group gained in revenue despite a major decline in bond issuance volume.
Planned investments in new products and services reduced the Ratings Group's
profits for the quarter.

Information and Media Services revenue increased $5.2 million, or 2.6%, while
operating profit improved $4.6 million, or 16.2%.  A strong performance in
Broadcasting and improved advertising pages at Business Week and several other
publications contributed to the revenue and operating profit increases.  Tower
Group International improved as a result of acquisitions and volume increases
while the Construction Information Group' profits declined due to continued soft
market conditions.

- - ----------

Consolidated Review
- - -------------------

For the first half of the year, operating revenue of $1.2 billion was $250.2
million, or 26.1%, ahead of 1993.  $189.4 million of the revenue increase
reflects the consolidation of School Publishing.  Excluding the impact of School
Publishing, revenues increased $60.8 million, or 6.3%.   Net income increased
7.8% to $63.0 million from $58.4 million reflecting additional gains in
Financial Services, improved results in Broadcasting and Business Week,
partially offset by softness in Construction.  Improved results in School
Publishing offset the incremental impact of recognizing 100% of School
Publishing's first half seasonal loss.  Earnings per share were $1.27 versus
$1.19 last year.

                   Financial Information (cont'd)


Total expenses in 1994 increased $244.6 million, or 29.1%, reflecting the
inclusion of School Publishing.  Excluding School Publishing, expenses increased
6.0% due primarily to volume increases in certain market focus groups and some
cost increases.

Net interest expense increased $8.0 million due primarily to increased
borrowings associated with the acquisition of the additional 50% of the school
publishing joint venture and an increase in the average borrowing rate.

The provision for taxes as a percent of income before taxes was 41.2% in 1994
versus 40.6% in 1993.  The 1993 rate does not reflect the increase in the
corporate federal income tax rate from 34% to 35% that was enacted in last
year's third quarter retroactive to January 1, 1993.

Segment Review
- - --------------

Educational and Professional Publishing revenue increased $206.6 million, or
90.4%, due largely to the inclusion of School Publishing revenues of $189.4
million.  Revenues for the company's other publishing operations increased $17.2
million, or 7.5%, led by Shepard's and medical publishing.   The segment's
operating loss increased $3.7 million to $4.0 million due to the seasonal loss
of School Publishing.   Despite School Publishing's decline in revenue resulting
from the less favorable adoption cycle in 1994, operating results improved
reflecting reduced costs from actions taken last year.  School Publishing's
improved year to year performance offset the impact of absorbing the full
seasonal loss for the first half of the year.   Excluding School Publishing, the
combined operating results of the company's other publishing units improved
slightly from last year.

Financial Services' revenue increased $33.5 million, or 9.8%, and operating
profit increased $9.5 million, or 9.3%.  Increased activity in the high yield
bond market in the first quarter and greater penetration in international
markets and new ratings initiatives benefitted the S&P Debt Rating Group.
Financial Information Services showed gains at equity investor services, J.J.
Kenny evaluations and information services and MMS International.

Information and Media Services revenue increased $10.1 million, or 2.6%, and
operating profit improved $3.0 million, or 6.7%.  Strong performances in
Broadcasting, Business Week and Tower Group International offset declines in the
Construction Information Group.

Financial Condition - June 30, 1994 versus December 31, 1993
- - ------------------------------------------------------------

The company continues to maintain a strong financial position with cash flow
from operations of $84 million.  Cash flow from operations declined from
$141 million last year, reflecting the seasonal impact of the School Publishing
business.  Total debt was $932.9 million, an increase of $4.2 million from year-
end.

Commercial paper borrowings at June 30, 1994 totaled $666.5 million, a decline
of $1.2 million from December 31, 1993.  Commercial paper debt is supported by a
$500 million revolving credit agreement with a group of banks terminating in
November 1997, and $500 million has been classified as long-term.  The company
has two other revolving credit agreements that terminate in 1994 totaling $350
million.  There are no amounts outstanding under these agreements.

Under a shelf registration which became effective with the Securities and
Exchange Commission in mid-1990, the company can issue an additional $250
million of debt securities.  The new debt could be used to replace a portion of
the commercial paper borrowings with longer term securities, when and if
interest rates are attractive and markets are favorable.

Accounts receivable before reserves of $773.7 million decreased $17.6 million
from the end of 1993, due primarily to the seasonal nature of some of the
company's businesses.  Receivables were $180.2 million higher than at June 30,
1993, as a result of the inclusion of School Publishing in 1994 and increased
receivables reflecting higher revenues than a year ago.

Inventories increased $51.2 million to $266.4 million from the end of 1993 due
to the seasonal requirements for School Publishing and the seasonal buildup for
the annual Sweet's Files.  Inventories were $148.3 million higher than at June
30, 1993 as a result of the inclusion of School Publishing in 1994.

Net prepublication costs at June 30 increased $12.5 million to $297.9 million
primarily due to additional spending on new titles and school programs net of
year to date amortization expense.  1994 prepublication cost investment totaled
$55.8 million, an increase of $33.8 million reflecting School Publishing
spending.  Net prepublication costs were $201.9 million higher than at June 30,
1993 as a result of the inclusion of School Publishing in 1994.

Purchases of property and equipment during the first six months totaled $21.8
million, primarily for computer equipment for the market focus groups.

(a)    Unusal charges in 1993 totaled $229.8 million before taxes in connection
       with the purchase of 50% interest in the Macmillan/McGraw-Hill School
       Publishing Company owned by Macmillan for $337.5 million in cash.  The
       unusual charges consisted of $199.8 million primarily to adjust the
       company's original investment to values established in this transaction.
       This charge has been allocated primarily to goodwill and other
       intangibles.  In addition, the company recorded a provision of $30
       million relating to the consolidation of certain functions and systems of
       Macmillan/McGraw-Hill and the company's book publishing operations.

(b)    For purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges,
       "earnings from continuing operations before income taxes" excludes
       undistributed equity in income of less than 50%-owned companies.  "Fixed
       charges" consist of (1) interest on debt and capital leases, (2) the
       portion of the company's rental expense deemed representative of the
       interest factor in rental expense, and (3) the company's proportionate
       share of such fixed charges of the Macmillan/McGraw-Hill joint venture
       through September 30, 1993.
