AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (INFORMATION AS OF AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1996 IS UNAUDITED.) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of business: The Company provides telemarketing services and systems to businesses and nonprofit entities throughout the United States. Accounting estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount 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. A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies follows: Principles of consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Ruffalo, Cody & Associates, Inc. and its subsidiary, Campus-Call, Inc., which is wholly-owned. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The results of operations of the subsidiary have been reported since the inception date of June 2, 1994. Cash and cash equivalents: For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Equipment and leasehold improvements and depreciation: Equipment and leasehold improvements are carried at cost. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Years ----- Technical equipment 3-5 Office equipment 5 Leasehold improvements 5-10 In-house phones 5 Software costs: Costs incurred to develop software products are charged to expense as research and development costs until technological feasibility for the product is established. Thereafter, software production costs are capitalized and, once the product is available for sale, are amortized by the greater of (a) the ratio that current gross revenues for the product bear to the total current and anticipated future gross revenues for that product and (b) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product including the period being reported on.

AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (INFORMATION AS OF AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1996 IS UNAUDITED.) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Revenue recognition: Fees from telemarketing contracts are recognized as revenue in the period the services are performed. Revenue on software license fees and sales which require installation will be recognized upon installation. Revenue on hardware sales will be recognized upon delivery and installation. Training and consulting fees are recognized as the services are performed. Upon installation of the system, the Company will record as deferred revenue the charge for software maintenance. Revenue will then be recognized on the straight-line basis over the term of the contract. Income taxes: Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. Stock options issued to employees and directors: Compensation expense for stock issued through stock option plans is accounted for using the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued for Employees." Under this method, compensation is measured as the difference between the estimated market value of the stock at the date of award less the amount required to be paid for the stock. The difference, if any, is charged to expense over the periods of service. The estimated market value used for the stock options granted is determined on a periodic basis by the Company's Board of Directors. Common stock held by 401(k) profit-sharing plan: The Company's maximum cash obligation related to these shares is classified outside stockholders' equity because the shares are not readily traded and could be put to the Company for cash. Earnings (loss) per common and common equivalent share: Earnings (loss) per common and common equivalent share are determined by dividing net income, less the increase in the estimated redemption price of redeemable common stock and warrants, by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during each of the periods presented. Dilutive common stock equivalents related to the stock options discussed in Note 4 were determined using the treasury stock method. The estimated fair market value of the Company's common stock used to calculate the common stock equivalents under the treasury stock method for the periods presented has been estimated by management or determined by an independent appraisal. Earnings (loss) per common and common equivalent share assuming full dilution are the same as earnings (loss) per common and common equivalent share. F-10 17 RUFFALO, CODY & ASSOCIATES, INC.

NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Recently issued accounting standards: In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," which will require the Company to review for the impairment of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by the Company whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Adoption of SFAS No. 121 is required in fiscal 1996. In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which establishes a fair value based method for financial accounting and reporting for stock-based employee compensation plans. However, the new standard allows compensation to continue to be measured by using the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," but requires expanded disclosures. SFAS No. 123 is effective in fiscal year 1996. The Company has elected to continue to apply the intrinsic value based method of accounting for stock options. While the Company does not know precisely the impact that will result from adopting SFAS No. 121 and SFAS No. 123, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 121 or SFAS No. 123 to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Fair value of financial instruments: The carrying amount of current notes payable approximates fair value because these obligations bear interest at current rates. Interim financial information (unaudited): The financial statements and notes related thereto as of June 30, 1996, and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, are unaudited, but in the opinion of management include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations. The operating results for the interim periods are not indicative of the operating results to be expected for a full year or for other interim periods. Not all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles necessary for a complete presentation have been included. F-11 18 RUFFALO, CODY & ASSOCIATES, INC.

PLEDGED ASSETS, CURRENT NOTES PAYABLE AND LONG-TERM DEBT At June 30, 1996, the Company had a line of credit agreement with a bank under which they may borrow up to 80% of eligible trade receivables up to a maximum of $2,500,000. The Company has $200,000 outstanding under this agreement at June 30, 1996. Borrowings under this agreement are collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets and bear interest at the bank's prime rate (the current effective rate is 8.25%). The agreement contains a covenant requiring the Company to maintain a certain amount of tangible net worth. The covenant was waived as of June 30, 1996. Additional available borrowings under the agreement totaled approximately $2,300,000 at June 30, 1996. The agreement expires May 2, 1997. NOTE 3.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS The Company has a 401(k) profit sharing plan for eligible employees. Contributions to the plan are at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors. The amount of contribution included in operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995 is $30,802, $52,473 and $59,494, respectively. The contributions for 1994 and 1995 have been made with company stock. In the event a terminated plan participant desires to sell his or her shares of the Company stock, or if certain employees elect to diversify their account balances, the Company may be required to purchase the shares from the participant at their fair market value. To the extent that shares of common stock held by the 401(k) profit-sharing plan are not readily traded, a sponsor must reflect the maximum cash obligation related to those securities outside of stockholders' equity. As of June 30, 1996, 19,979 shares held by the 401(k) profit-sharing plan, at a fair value of $7.00 per share, have been reclassified from stockholders' equity to liabilities.

Pursuant to the Agreement, (i) McLeod Merging Co., a newly incorporated Iowa corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of McLeod, Inc., was merged with and into Ruffalo, Cody, with McLeod Merging Co. (which has been renamed "Ruffalo, Cody & Associates, Inc.") being the surviving corporation, (ii) the outstanding shares of Ruffalo, Cody common stock were converted into the right to receive cash and/or shares of McLeod, Inc.'s Class A Common Stock (the "Class A Common Stock"), and (iii) the outstanding options to purchase shares of Ruffalo, Cody common stock were converted into options to purchase shares of the Class A Common Stock (the "Substitute Options"). Under the Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of Ruffalo, Cody common stock was converted into the right to receive a maximum of approximately 0.7 of a share of the Class A Common Stock. McLeod, Inc. agreed to purchase Ruffalo, Cody for a maximum aggregate purchase price of approximately $21 million (based on the average market price of the Class A Common Stock during the five business days before and after the Acquisition). The purchase price consisted of approximately $4.9 million in cash, 474,807 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable in exchange for Ruffalo, Cody common stock, and 158,009 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Substitute Options. On July 15, 1996, McLeod, Inc. paid an aggregate of approximately $4.8 million in cash and issued 361,420 shares of Class A Common Stock to the shareholders of Ruffalo, Cody, and granted to the Ruffalo, Cody option holders Substitute Options to purchase 158,009 shares of Class A Common Stock. An additional $50,782 in cash and 113,387 shares of McLeod, Inc.'s Class A Common Stock were placed into escrow and will be delivered (if at all) to the shareholders of Ruffalo, Cody over a period of 18 months, contingent upon certain conditions relating to Ruffalo, Cody's ongoing revenues.
