INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
Board of Directors
Garner Publishing Company
Des Moines, Iowa
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Garner Publishing Company
(d/b/a Garner Printing) as of December 31, 1995, and the related statements of
income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended. 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 audit.
We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Garner Publishing Company as
of December 31, 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
COMPANY'S ACTIVITIES
The Company conducts a general printing and publishing business, primarily
performed on a job or custom basis, for customers primarily located in Iowa and
South Dakota.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts 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.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined
principally by the first-in, first-out method. In printing and publishing
operations, the Company employs a full absorption procedure using standard cost
techniques.
CAPITALIZATION, DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided on
straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the
assets. The costs of major remodeling and improvements are capitalized as
leasehold improvements. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of
the life of the applicable lease or the life of the asset.
INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The interim financial statements as of March 31, 1996, and for the three
months ended March 31, 1996, are unaudited, and certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments
necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and
cash flows with respect to the interim financial statements have been included.
The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative
of the results for the entire year.

NOTE 3 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
All financial instruments are held for purposes other than trading. The
following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each
financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
CASH
The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity
of those instruments.
NOTES PAYABLE, BANK
The carrying amount approximates fair value due to variable interest rates
on these notes.
LONG-TERM DEBT
The fair value of the Company's long-term debt, excluding capital lease
obligations, is estimated based on the current rates offered to the Company for
debt of the same remaining maturities with similar collateral requirements.
The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments as of
December 31, 1995 are as follows:
CARRYING
AMOUNT FAIR VALUE

Cash................................. $ 148,550 $ 148,550

Equipment notes................. 1,547,152 1,552,017
Real estate note................ 274,659 274,659
NOTE 4 INCOME TAX STATUS
The Company, with the consent of its stockholders, has elected to be taxed
under sections of the federal and state income tax laws, which provide that, in
lieu of corporation income taxes, the stockholders separately account for their
pro rata shares of the Company's items of income, deductions, losses and
credits. Therefore, these statements do not include any provision for
corporation income taxes.
NOTES 5 PROFIT SHARING RETIREMENT PLAN
The Company has adopted a defined contribution profit sharing retirement
plan for nonbargaining unit employees. The plan provides for employer
contributions of an amount necessary to match any nonbargaining unit employee
contribution up to 4% of wages. An additional amount may be deposited as
determined by the Board of Directors. Profit sharing and retirement plan expense
was $50,559 for the year ended December 31, 1995.
NOTE 6 MULTIEMPLOYER PENSION PLAN
The Company contributes to a defined benefit multiemployer pension plan for
its union employees. The plan is contributed to on a monthly basis at a
percentage of hourly pay. Amounts charged to pension expense and contributed to
the plan totaled $93,532 for the year ended December 31, 1995.
NOTE 7 LEASE COMMITMENTS
In 1994, the Company purchased 51% of the building and land at its current
operating location. The note payable for this purchase is described in Note 2.
The remaining 49% of the building and land is being leased by the Company under
a noncancelable operating lease. The original term lease expires in October
1996, with an option to purchase the remaining interest at that time for
$389,999. If the option to purchase is not exercised, the lease will continue
through a series of automatic one year renewals, with a new purchase option
after each successive year, until October 2006 at which time the option price is
$200,000. In the event none of the options to purchase are exercised, the lease
will automatically extend for an additional five years for a monthly lease
amount of $5,386. Minimum future rental payments through

thereafter, $280,511.
Net rent charged to expense amounted to $59,342 for the year ended December
31, 1995.
NOTE 8 MAJOR CUSTOMERS/CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Net sales for 1995 include sales of $2,335,026 to one major customer which
accounted for 18% of the total net sales of the Company for the year ended
December 31, 1995. Trade receivables for this customer were $476,940 as of
December 31, 1995.
Additionally, the Company maintains its cash accounts at one commercial
bank. The amount on deposit at December 31, 1995 exceeded the limits of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation by approximately $193,000.
NOTE 9 STOCK REDEMPTION AGREEMENT
In the event of the death or departure of a stockholder, the Company has
agreed to purchase the outstanding stock held by the stockholder. The redemption
value is to be computed using a formula whereby the excess or deficiency in
average earnings (as compared to industry standards) is capitalized at an agreed
upon rate for purposes of computing the amount to be assigned to goodwill, which
is then added to or subtracted from the fair value of net tangible assets. At
death, life insurance policies are to be used to redeem the stock. In the event
of departure for reasons other than death, the redemption value is to be paid in
equal monthly installments with interest over a ten year period to begin 60 days
after departure.
On January 1, 1996 a stockholder retired. As of this date, neither the
redemption value nor the other terms of the pay-off have been agreed upon.
NOTE 10 INTENTION TO DECLARE DIVIDENDS
The Board of Directors intends to declare dividends during the year
subsequent to the balance sheet date to assist the stockholders in paying their
personal income taxes on the income of the Corporation.
NOTE 11 COMMITMENTS
On December 29, 1995, the Company committed to purchasing certain
production equipment at a total cost of $182,000. The purchase will be financed
over five years and will be payable in monthly installments of $3,769 including
interest at 8.9%
NOTE 12 SUBSEQUENT EVENT (UNAUDITED)
On May 23, 1996, the Company and Consolidated Graphics, a commercial
printing company, entered into a letter of intent that would result in the
Company becoming a subsidiary of Consolidated Graphics. The proposed acquisition
is subject to numerous conditions that must be finalized.
