          Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)

Note A - Financial Statements

      The accompanying unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial
      Statements include the accounts of Harte-Hanks Communications, Inc. and
      subsidiaries (the "Company").

      The statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
      accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
      instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 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 management, all adjustments (consisting of
      normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation
      have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30,
      1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
      for the year ending December 31. For further information, refer to the
      consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's
      annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.

      Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparative
      purposes.

Note B - Divestiture

      In March 1995, the Company completed the previously announced sale of its
      suburban Boston community newspapers, which consisted of three daily and
      11 weekly publications. As a result of this transaction, the Company
      recognized a gain on divestiture of $2.3 million, or 11 cents per share,
      net of $10.0 million of income taxes.

Note C - Income Taxes

      The Company's quarterly income tax calculation is based on an effective
      income tax rate that is derived by estimating pretax income and income tax
      expense for the entire year ended December 31, 1995. Included in the
      year-to-date income tax provision of $21.1 million is $10.0 million
      related to the gain on divestiture. Excluding the effect of the gain,
      applying the estimated annual effective income tax rate of 46.7% to the
      pretax operating income results for the six months ended June 30, 1995
      results in an income tax expense of $11.1 million. The effective income
      tax rate calculated is higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% due
      to the addition of state taxes and to certain expenses recorded for
      financial reporting purposes (primarily goodwill amortization), which are
      not deductible for federal income tax purposes.

                                        8

Note D - Long Term Debt

      On May 26, 1995, the Company issued 1,428,571 shares of common stock upon
      conversion of the $20 million principal amount of the Company's 6 1/4%
      convertible notes. Accordingly, the Company transferred $20 million less
      $0.1 million of unamortized issue costs, to stockholders' equity.

Results of Operations

Operating results were as follows:

Excluding the results of the Boston community newspapers sold on March 31, 1995,
consolidated revenues grew 12.4% to $133.8 million and operating income grew
21.8% to $20.8 million in the second quarter of 1995 as compared to the second
quarter of 1994. The most dramatic growth occurred in the direct marketing
business where revenues increased 25.8% and operating income increased 75.4%.
The Company's overall growth in both the quarter and first six months resulted
from increased business with both new and existing customers, new products and
services as well as advertising and circulation rate increases. Operating
expenses in both periods also rose due to the growth in business as well as
higher newsprint prices and postal rates.

Net income of $14.8 million for the first half of 1995 includes a gain on
divestiture of $2.3 million, net of income taxes, discussed under "Gain on
Divestiture" (page 13). Excluding this net gain on divestiture, net income was
$12.6 million, or 62 cents per share, on a fully diluted basis.

Direct Marketing

Direct marketing operating results were as follows:




                              THREE MONTHS ENDED                          SIX MONTHS ENDED

Revenues                   $49,528          $39,377       25.8%        $95,300          $74,028        28.7%

Operating income           $ 7,804          $ 4,450       75.4%        $12,482          $ 6,732        85.4%
                           =======          =======                    =======          =======             


Direct marketing revenues increased $10.2 million, or 25.8%, in the second
quarter of 1995 when compared to 1994. All service offerings achieved growth,
with the most significant increases occurring in database, integrated direct
marketing and response management services. Direct marketing service offerings
enable Harte-Hanks' customers to identify and communicate with their marketing
targets, evaluate responses and measure the effectiveness of their marketing
communications. Overall, revenue growth resulted from increased business with
existing customers through cross-selling and leveraging the Company's


   10


                                       10

advertising and marketing expertise within service offerings. In addition,
revenue growth was generated by new customers, particularly in the retail,
financial services and high technology industries, as well as by international
customers. Although the majority of direct marketing's revenue growth came from
existing operations, a portion of the increase was attributable to the
acquisitions of Select Marketing, Inc., an Austin, Texas response management
company, and Steinert & Associates, a New York City advertising and marketing
communications firm, which occurred in October 1994 and January 1995,
respectively.

Second quarter operating expenses increased $6.8 million, or 19.5%, when
compared to 1994. Payroll costs were up $3.8 million as a result of increased
hiring to support revenue growth. Also contributing to the increase in operating
expenses were additional general and administrative and production costs of $1.7
million and $1.1 million, respectively, due to increased volumes. The
acquisitions noted above were another contributing factor.

Direct marketing revenues increased $21.3 million, or 28.7%, in the first six
months of 1995 as compared to the comparable 1994 period. Increased revenues
reflect growth in all core service offerings, particularly in database,
integrated direct marketing and response management. The revenue increase during
this time period was also affected by the acquisitions.

Year-to-date 1995 operating expenses rose $15.5 million, or 23.1%, when compared
to 1994. Payroll costs increased $6.9 million due to additional hiring to
support revenue growth. In addition, production costs increased $5.6 million due
to increased volumes. The remainder of the increased operating expenses was
driven by acquisitions and, to a lesser extent, general and administrative costs
incurred as a result of overall growth.

Shoppers

Shopper operating results were as follows:

                           =======          =======                    =======          =======             


Shopper revenues grew $2.9 million, or 6.5%, in the second quarter of 1995 as
compared to 1994. Revenue increases occurred primarily in existing circulation
zones, driven primarily by rate increases, and were also due, in part, to
adjacent geographic circulation expansion. Total weekly shopper household
circulation was 7.0 million at June 30, 1995.

Second quarter operating expenses increased $2.2 million, or 5.6%, when compared
to 1994. Postage costs increased $1.4 million, primarily due to a 14% postage
rate increase as well as to increased circulation. In addition, production costs
increased $0.5 million, primarily due to higher color printing costs and
volumes. Newsprint costs increased $0.4 million, or 12.0%, due to higher
newsprint prices, offset by reduced consumption due in part to new


   11


                                       11

pagination technology in the Company's Southern California and Miami shoppers.
Pagination technology permits a more efficient publication design and reduces
the number of pages in the book. The increase in production costs was partially
offset by lower payroll costs of $0.5 million, or 3.3%, due in part, to reduced
headcount, made possible by the Company's new technology as well as changes in
commission plans.

Excluding revenues from the Company's smallest shopper that was sold in February
1994, year-to-date revenues increased $5.4 million, or 6.3%, as compared to
1994. Revenue growth for the first six months of 1995 was primarily attributable
to increased advertising rates in existing circulation zones as well as new
circulation from household expansion and increased circulation of the newsstand
product.

Excluding operating expenses from the divested shopper, year-to-date operating
costs increased $4.2 million, or 5.4%, in the first six months of 1995 as
compared to 1994. Postage costs increased $3.2 million, due primarily to a
postage rate increase as well as to increased circulation. In addition, color
printing costs and newsprint increases contributed to increased operating costs.
Higher production costs were primarily a result of increased color printing
costs and volumes. Newsprint costs increased due to higher newsprint prices,
offset in part by reduced volumes due to the new pagination technology. The
increased operating costs were partially offset by lower payroll costs of $1.1
million due to reduced headcount and changes in commission plans.

Newspapers

Newspaper revenues decreased $5.5 million, or 15.8%, in the second quarter of
1995 when compared to 1994. This decrease is due to the March 1995 divestiture
of the Company's Boston community newspapers. Excluding the results from the
Boston community newspapers, second quarter newspaper revenues increased 8.7%,
$2.3 million, to $29.3 million. Advertising revenues were up $1.0 million, or
5.4%. In particular, classified advertising revenues grew 9.5% as a result of
increases both in rates and volumes. The classified growth was attributable to
increased revenues from automotive and help wanted. Retail advertising revenues
increased 1.8% on slightly lower volumes. Insert revenues rose 7.0% on increased
volumes. In addition, niche and specialty product revenues grew primarily due to
a direct mail initiative into South Texas, begun in 1994, and to audiotext, a
new revenue stream for the newspapers. Circulation revenues increased 10.3%,
reflecting home delivery price increases implemented in the fall of 1994.

Newspaper operating expenses decreased $5.5 million, or 19.6%, in the second
quarter of 1995 when compared to 1994. Excluding the divested Boston community

newspapers, operating expenses increased $1.7 million, or 8.3% in the second
quarter of 1995. Newsprint costs increased $0.9 million, or 30.6%, as a result
of higher average newsprint prices offset slightly by reduced volumes. The
reduction in volumes was attributable to newsprint savings from the new press
installed in July 1994 at the Corpus Christi Caller-Times as well as to various
operating decisions to control newsprint consumption. Costs associated with the
direct mail program also rose due to increased volumes as well as the January
1995 postal rate increase.

Newspaper revenues decreased $2.9 million, or 4.3%, in the first half of 1995
when compared to 1994. Excluding the divested Boston newspapers' results,
year-to-date revenues increased 8.1%, or $4.3 million, as compared to 1994.
Advertising revenues were up $1.9 million, or 5.3%. In particular, classified
advertising revenues grew 11.1% as a result of increases both in rates and
volumes. The classified revenue growth was primarily attributable to increases
in help wanted and automotive categories. Insert revenues increased 3.1% as a
result of increased volumes, while retail advertising revenues rose slightly. In
addition, niche and specialty product revenues were up primarily as a result of
a South Texas direct mail initiative and audiotext revenues. Circulation
revenues increased 9.3%, reflecting home delivery price increases in the fall of
1994.

First half newspaper operating expenses decreased $3.7 million, or 6.6%, when
compared to 1994. Excluding the divested Boston newspapers, operating expenses
increased $2.9 million, or 7.1% over 1994. Newsprint costs increased $1.3
million, or 21.9%, as a result of higher average newsprint prices offset
slightly by reduced volumes. Postage costs associated with the direct mail
program also increased.

Revenues for the television segment decreased $0.6 million, or 8.6%, in the
second quarter of 1995 when compared to 1994. The majority of this decline, $0.4
million, was due to lower national advertising revenues as a result of weak CBS
network ratings during the February and May 1995 rating periods. At the
Company's initiative, a new network affiliation agreement was negotiated and
will commence later this year. Television segment revenues were also affected by
the absence of a direct mail publication in 1995.

Second quarter operating expenses for the television segment decreased $0.1
million, or 2.3%, when compared to the same period in 1994. The decrease was
attributable to the absence of costs associated with the direct mail publication
and to effective management of payroll and sales commission costs. Partially
offsetting these cost reductions was an increase in general and


   13


                                       13

administrative costs, which primarily resulted from costs associated with the
change from a diary rating service to a metered rating service.

Revenues for the television segment decreased $0.9 million, or 6.7%, in the
first half of 1995 when compared to 1994. Contributing to these results were
lower national advertising revenues reflecting weak CBS network performance. In
addition, the first quarter of 1994 benefited from political revenue and CBS
coverage of the National Football League playoffs and winter Olympics.

First half operating expenses for the television segment decreased $0.4 million,
or 3.8%, when compared to the same time period in 1994. The decrease was due to
lower payroll costs and direct mail publication production costs offset
partially by higher metered rating service costs as discussed above.

Gain on Divestiture

In March 1995, the Company completed the previously announced sale of its
suburban Boston community newspapers, which consisted of three daily and 11
weekly publications. As a result of this transaction, the Company recognized a
gain on divestiture of $2.3 million, or 11 cents per share, net of $10.0 million
of income taxes.

Interest Expense

Interest expense remained relatively constant for the second quarter of 1995
when compared to 1994. Interest expense for the first six months of 1995
increased $1.0 million from the same period in 1994 due primarily to higher
interest rates experienced during 1995 partially offset by reduced borrowing
levels. Although short-term interest rates rose throughout 1994, the impact on
the Company was mitigated somewhat by more favorable pricing under terms of the
Company's credit facility. The more favorable pricing is a result of increased
operating cash flow, as defined in the Company's credit facility agreement, and
reduced debt levels. In addition, the Company is realizing lower interest costs
and commitment fees after amending its revolving credit commitment in February
1995.

In May 1995, the $20 million principal amount of the Company's 6 1/4%
convertible notes due September 15, 2002 were converted into 1,428,571 shares of
common stock. The conversion will result in annual interest expense savings of
$1.3 million going forward.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense increased $1.0 million in the second quarter of 1995 when
compared to the same period in 1994. The expense increase was primarily due to
increased income levels.

Year-to-date income tax expense of $21.1 million includes $10.0 million of
income taxes relating to the gain on divestiture. The remaining income tax
expense of $11.1 million related to operations increased $2.4 million when
compared to 1994.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash provided from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 1995
was $7.5 million as compared to $18.6 million for the six months ended June 30,
1994. Net cash inflows for investing activities were $24.8 million as compared
to outflows of $8.7 million in 1994. Investing activities for the first six
months of 1995 included $40.0 million in sales proceeds from the sale of
property, plant and equipment and divested assets. Also included in investing
activities were expenditures of $5.8 million for acquisitions and $8.4 million
for capital investments. Cash provided from operating activities and the sale of
the Boston community newspapers were used to reduce borrowings under the
Company's credit facility and to make capital investments and acquisitions.

Capital resources are available from and provided through the Company's
unsecured credit facility. All borrowings under the revolving credit facility
are to be repaid by December 31, 2001. Management believes that its credit
facility, together with cash provided from operating activities, will be
sufficient to fund operations, anticipated capital and film expenditures and
debt service requirements for the foreseeable future. As of June 30, 1995, the
Company had $90 million of unused borrowing capacity under its credit facility,
of which $10 million was reserved to serve as backup for the Company's
outstanding commercial paper and other short-term borrowing facilities.
