     Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - (Unaudited)


1.   Basis of Presentation
     ---------------------
     
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have 
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for 
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and 
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the 
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles 
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company, all 
adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary 
to present fairly the consolidated financial statements have been included. 
Quarterly results of operations are not necessarily indicative of annual 
results. These statements should be read in conjuction with the consolidated 
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual 
report for the year end December 31, 1994.


2.   Business Segments
     -----------------

Selected first quarter 1995 income data by business segment is as follows:



                                Auction       Financial
                                Services      Services         Total
                              -----------    ----------     -----------
                                                   
     Operating revenues       $28,063,574    $1,545,771     $29,609,345
                              -----------    ----------     -----------

     Operating income         $ 3,544,071    $  984,140     $ 4,528,211
                              -----------    ----------     -----------
     

Total assets presented by business segment and inclusive of the Company's 
headquarters as of March 31, 1995 were as follows:

     Auction services         $177,759,511
     Financial services         24,558,742
     Corporate headquarters      9,638,979
                              ------------
                              $211,957,232
                              ------------

3.   Per-Share Data
     --------------

Earnings per share data are based on the weighted average number of shares 
outstanding during the applicable periods, including the effect of dilutive 
stock options.

                                      4

4.   Credit Arrangements
     -------------------

On April 26, 1995, the company's subsidiary Automotive Finance Corporation 
("AFC") established a $40,000,000 revolving line of credit (AFC Revolver) at 
200 basis points over LIBOR or 50 basis points over the bank's prime rate. 
Borrowing under the AFC Revolver are limited to the lessor of $40,000,000 or a 
percentage of eligible receivables, as defined in the credit agreement. The AFC 
Revolver is for a term of 364 days and will be used to finance floor plan 
receivables. Additional, ADESA provides no parental guarantee of capital. This 
line of credit was used to replace $12,000,000 revolving line of credit held 
prior thereto.

5.   Pending Merger
     --------------

On February 23, 1995 the Company announced that its Board of Directors had 
approved a definitive agreement with Minnesota Power & Light company (MPL), a 
diversified electric utility company headquarted in Duluth, Minnesota. This 
agreement provides that, upon consummation of the merger and upon purchase by 
MPL of additional newly issued shares of the Company's common stock, MPL will 
own 80% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company and certain 
officers of the Company will own the remaining 20%. The merger is subject to 
approval by the Company's shareholders and the satisfaction of various other 
customary conditions. If approved, it is expected that the merger will be 
completed in the second quarter of 1995.

6.   Other Events
     ------------
Currently, individual auctions owned by the Company separately contract with 
the General Motors ("GM") for the auction of rental repurchase units under 
master contracts, which state various sales procedures, pursuant to which they 
conduct business with the Company. These contracts do not require GM to sell 
any minimum number of vehicles through the Company's auctions and may be 
terminated upon 30 days' notice. . ADESA currently has three United States 
auctions which sell rental repurchase units under such contracts with GM. In 
1995 GM requested that auctions bid for the right to sell rental repurchase 
units which will have a term of three years commencing January 1, 1996. GM has 
informally announced its intentions to reduce the number auctions in the US it 
uses for such sales from 42 to 32. The Company was invited in February 1995 to 
take part in this process and on May 10, 1995 submitted a bid for all of the 
ADESA's United States auctions including a greenfield auction in Manville, New 
Jersey. There can be no assurance as to whether the Company will receive an 
increased or decreased number of contracts pursuant to this process but any 
change could be expected to impact revenues. During 1994 GM, including their 
respective captive finance subsidiaries which are not part of this process and 
auction off-lease and repossessed vehicles, accounted for more that 10% of the 
Company's revenues. GM has stated that it intends to award the contracts in the 
Summer or Fall of 1995.
