NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 - The Corporation and Operations

The Daily Journal Corporation (the “Company”) publishes newspapers and web sites covering California, Arizona and Nevada, as well as the California Lawyer and 8-K magazines, and produces several specialized information services. Sustain Technologies, Inc. (“Sustain”), a wholly owned subsidiary as of March 31, 2008, has been consolidated since January 1999.  (In March 2008, the Company acquired from two shareholders the remaining 7% equity interest in Sustain not already owned by the Company for $60,000.)   Sustain supplies case management software systems and related products to courts and other justice agencies, including district attorney offices and administrative law organizations.  These courts and agencies use the Sustain family of products to help manage cases and information electronically and to interface with other critical justice partners.  Sustain’s products are designed to help users manage electronic case files from inception to disposition, including all aspects of calendaring and accounting, report and notice generation, the implementation of standards and business rules and other corollary functions. Essentially all of the Company’s operations are based in California, Arizona, Colorado and Nevada.

Note 2 - Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of its financial position as of March 31, 2008, the results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 and its cash flows for the six months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.  The results of operations for the six months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007.

Note 3 - Basic and Diluted Income Per Share

The Company does not have any common stock equivalents, and therefore the basic and diluted income per share are the same.

Note 5 - Revenue Recognition

Proceeds from the sale of subscriptions for newspapers, court rule books and other publications and other services are recorded as deferred revenue and are included in earned revenue only when the services are provided, generally over the subscription or lease term.  Advertising revenues are recognized when advertisements are published and are net of commissions.

8 of 15

The Company recognizes revenues from both the lease and sale of software products.  Revenues from leases of software products are recognized over the life of the lease while revenues from software product sales are recognized normally upon delivery, installation or acceptance pursuant to a signed agreement.  Revenues from annual maintenance contracts generally call for the Company to provide software updates and upgrades to customers and are recognized ratably over the maintenance period.  Consulting and other services are recognized as performed or upon acceptance by the customers.

Note 6 - Income Taxes

On a pretax profit $4,798,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2008, the Company recorded a tax provision of $1,870,000 using approximately the statutory rate.  On a pretax profit of $2,716,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2007, the Company recorded a tax provision of $1,680,000 which included a reserve for research and development tax credits claimed by the Company in prior years.  The Internal Revenue Service has been examining the tax returns for years 2002 to 2006 and has proposed an assessment that, if upheld, would result in disallowance of about $700,000 of previously claimed credits.  The Company is continuing to contest the issue, and the ultimate resolution of this dispute cannot be ascertained at this time.

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109), which was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 with earlier adoption encouraged. This Interpretation was issued to clarify the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statements recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  The Company adopted this Interpretation on October 1, 2007 and recognized no material adjustment to the liability for unrecognized tax benefits.  At October 1, 2007 and at the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the Company had approximately $700,000 of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would have an effective rate impact if recognized.

Interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits is recorded as interest expense, and as of March 31, 2008, the Company has accrued $160,000, including an additional $31,000 during this six-month period.  The Company has not accrued the penalties related to any potential assessment.  The Company files federal income tax returns in the United States and with various state jurisdictions and is no longer subject to examinations for years before 2002.

Note 7 – Commitments

The Company owns its facilities in Los Angeles and leases space for its other offices under operating leases, which expire at various dates through 2010.  The Company is responsible for a portion of maintenance, insurance and property tax expenses relating to certain leased property.  Rental expenses for comparable six-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $308,000 and $306,000, respectively.    In January 2008, the Company paid off the two real estate loans aggregating $3,961,000.

Note 8 - Contingencies

Sustain received a letter in April 2003 from counsel to the Ontario, Canada Ministry of the Solicitor General, Ministry of Public Safety and Security and Ministry of the Attorney General (collectively, the “Ministries”).  The Ministries had entered into a contract with Sustain, dated as of April 22, 1999 (the “Contract”), pursuant to which the Ministries sought to license the software product that was to be developed by the outside service provider referred to above.  The Contract was formally terminated in June 2002.  The letter from counsel purported to invoke the dispute resolution process set forth in the Contract and claimed damages in the amount of $20 million.  Counsel for Sustain and counsel for the Ministries engaged in preliminary discussions with respect to this matter, and the dispute resolution process set forth in the Contract was not utilized.  Counsel for Sustain last communicated with counsel for the Ministries by a letter sent in April 2003.  Management is unable to determine whether this matter will have a material adverse effect on Sustain and the Company.

9 of 15

From time to time, the Company is involved in other litigation incidental to its business.  The Company believes that any provisions or reserves made for potential losses arising out of currently pending litigation are adequate, and that any such losses should not have a materially adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Note 9 -  Investment of U.S. Treasury Notes and Bills

Investments in U.S. Treasury Notes and Bills for the six-month period are categorized as “available-for-sale” in lieu of “held-to-maturity” and stated at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported in accumulated other comprehensive income.  Consequently, as of March 31, 2008, an unrealized gain of $189,000, net of taxes, has been recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Note 10 – Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income, which includes net income plus unrealized gains (losses) on U.S. Treasury Notes and Bills classified as “available-for-sale” securities, was $3,117,000 for the six-month period ended March 31, 2008.  Comprehensive income for the six-month period ended March 31, 2007 was $1,036,000 and was equal to net income because there were no unrealized gains (losses) on such investments.

  Item 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues were $18,924,000 and $16,903,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  This increase of $2,021,000 (12%) was primarily attributed to an increase in public notice advertising revenues.  (Revenues were $9,938,000 and $8,891,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.)

Public notice advertising revenues increased by $2,586,000 primarily because of an increase in trustee foreclosure sales in California and Arizona.  The Company's smaller newspapers, those other than the Los Angeles and San Francisco Daily Journals ("The Daily Journals"), accounted for about 95% of the total public notice advertising revenues.  Public notice advertising revenues and related advertising and other service fees constituted about 42% of the Company's total revenues.  Display advertising revenues decreased by $95,000 (3%).   Classified advertising revenues decreased by $498,000 (19%) primarily due to a downturn in the employment advertising marketplace.

Total circulation revenues decreased by $141,000.  The Daily Journals accounted for about 78% of the Company's total circulation revenues.  The court rule and judicial profile services generated about 14% of the total circulation revenues, with the other newspapers and services accounting for the balance.  Information system and service revenues increased by $322,000 (17%) primarily because of increases in Sustain’s consulting revenues. The Company’s revenues derived from Sustain’s operations constituted about 12% and 11% of the Company’s total revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  Other revenues decreased primarily because of fewer small print jobs for governmental agencies.

Costs and expenses increased by $177,000 (1%) to $14,520,000 from $14,343,000.  Total personnel costs increased by $65,000 (1%) to $8,774,000.  Postage and delivery expenses increased by $75,000 (10%) mainly because of postal rate increases and pallet/sack/tray fees recently imposed by the Post Office.   (Costs and expenses were $7,493,000 and $7,251,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.)

The Company’s expenditures for the development of new Sustain software products are highly significant and will materially impact overall results at least through fiscal 2009.  These costs are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility of the product has been established, at which time such costs are capitalized, subject to expected recovery.  Sustain’s internal development costs, which are primarily incremental costs for both employees and outside contractors, aggregated $878,000 and $655,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  If Sustain’s internal development programs are not successful, they will significantly and adversely impact the Company’s ability to maximize its existing investment in the Sustain software, to service its existing customers and to compete for new opportunities in the case management software business.

The Company’s traditional business segment pretax profit increased by $1,895,000 (63%) from $2,995,000 to $4,890,000 primarily resulting from the increase in trustee foreclosure sale notices, partially offset by the decrease in commercial advertising revenues.  Sustain’s business segment pretax loss decreased $187,000 (67%) from $279,000 to $92,000, primarily because of the increased consulting revenues.  Future consulting revenues are subject to uncertainty because they depend on (i) the timing of the acceptance of the completed consulting tasks, (ii) the unpredictable needs of Sustain’s existing customers, and (iii) its ability to secure new customers.  As of March 31, 2008, Sustain is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Consolidated net income was $2,928,000 and $1,036,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  On a pretax profit $4,798,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2008, the Company recorded a tax provision of $1,870,000 using approximately the statutory rate.  On a pretax profit of $2,716,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2007, the Company recorded a tax provision of $1,680,000 which included a reserve for research and development tax credits claimed by the Company in prior years.  The Internal Revenue Service has been examining the tax returns for years 2002 to 2006 and has proposed an assessment that, if upheld, would result in disallowance of about $700,000 of previously claimed credits.  The Company is continuing to contest the issue, and the ultimate resolution of this dispute cannot be ascertained at this time.    Net income per share increased to $2.02 from $.71.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the six months ended March 31, 2008, the Company's cash and cash equivalents and U.S. Treasury Note and Bill positions decreased by $1,159,000.  Cash and cash equivalents were used primarily for paying off two real estate loans of $4,012,000 in January 2008 and for the purchase of capital assets of $251,000, primarily for computer software and office equipment.  The cash provided by operating activities of $2,758,000 included a net decrease in prepayments for subscriptions and other revenues of $436,000.  Proceeds from the sale of subscriptions from newspapers, court rule books and other publications and for software licenses and maintenance and other services are recorded as deferred revenue and are included in earned revenue only when the services are rendered.  Cash flows from operating activities increased by $791,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the prior comparable period primarily due to the increases in net income of $1,892,000, partially offset by the decrease in deferred subscription and other revenues of $739,000.  As of March 31, 2008, the Company had working capital of $16,401,000 before deducting the liability for deferred subscription revenues and other revenues of $5,782,000, which are scheduled to be earned within one year.  In addition, the Company had long-term U.S. Treasury Notes of about $4,805,000 at March 31, 2008.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. Management believes that revenue recognition, accounting for capitalized software costs and income taxes are critical accounting policies.

The Company’s critical accounting policies are detailed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2007.  As of March 31, 2008, there were no material changes to these disclosures, except for the accounting pronouncement related to Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes that was adopted by the Company on October 1, 2007.

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109), which was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 with earlier adoption encouraged.  This Interpretation was issued to clarify the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statements recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.   The Company recognized no material adjustment to the liability for unrecognized tax benefits upon adoption of this interpretation.  At October 1, 2007 and at the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the Company had approximately $700,000 of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would have an effective rate impact if recognized.

The above discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in this report.

Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Certain statements contained in this document, including but not limited to those in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, are “forward-looking” statements that involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual future events or results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.  Words such as “expects,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “should,” “believes,” “will,” “plans,” “estimates,” “may,” variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.  We disclaim any intention or obligation to revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise.  There are many factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements.  These factors include, among others: risks associated with Sustain’s internal software development efforts; Sustain’s reliance on the time and materials professional services engagement with the California Administrative Office of the Courts for a substantial portion of its consulting revenues; the ultimate resolution, if any, of the dispute with the Ontario, Canada Ministries; an adverse outcome of the Internal Revenue Service’s audit of our past research and development tax credits; material changes in the costs of postage and paper; a further decline in subscriber and commercial advertising revenues; collectibility of accounts receivable; the Company’s reliance on its president and chief executive officer; and changes in accounting guidance.  In addition, such statements could be affected by general industry and market conditions, general economic conditions (particularly in California) and other factors. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct.  Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are disclosed in this Form 10-Q, including in conjunction with the forward-looking statements themselves. Additional information concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements is contained from time to time in documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including in Item 1A – “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007.

  Item 4T.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including Gerald L. Salzman, its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2008.  Based on that evaluation, Mr. Salzman concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities Exchange Commission and (2) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including Mr. Salzman, in such a way as to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  There have been no material changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting or in other factors reasonably likely to affect its internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2008.

(a) The Company’s common stock repurchase program was implemented in 1987 in combination with the Company’s Deferred Management Incentive Plan, and therefore the Company’s per share earnings have not been diluted by grants of “units” under the Deferred Management Incentive Plan.  Each unit entitles the recipient to a designated share of the pre-tax earnings of the Company on a consolidated basis, or a designated share of the pre-tax earnings attributable to only Sustain or the Company's traditional business, depending on the recipient’s responsibilities.  There were no shares purchased during the second quarter of fiscal 2008. The Company’s stock repurchase program remains in effect, and the Company plans to repurchase shares from time to time as it deems appropriate (including, if necessary, to prevent any additional dilution that may be caused by the Deferred Management Incentive Plan).
