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.

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.

A subsidiary of J.J. Kenny Co. acts as an undisclosed agent in the purchase and sale of municipal securities for broker-dealers and dealer banks and the company had $579.2 million of matched purchase and sale commitments at June 30, 1994.

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. -10- Financial Information (cont'd) 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. Six Months - - ---------- 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. -11- 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. -12- Financial Information (cont'd) 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. -13- Part II Other Information Item 4.

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. </FN> -16-
