Under date of January 28, 1994, we reported on the consolidated balance sheets of Harte-Hanks Communications, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992 and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders' equity for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1993, as contained in the 1993 annual report to stockholders. These consolidated financial statements and our report thereon are incorporated by reference in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year 1993.
