Report of Independent Auditors
Benefit Committee
Gray Communications Systems, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Gray Communications Systems, Inc. Capital Accumulation Plan as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules
of Assets Held for Investment Purposes as of December 31, 1998 and Reportable
Transactions for the year ended December 31, 1998, are presented for purposes of
complying with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and are
not a required part of the basic financial statements. The supplemental
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

Gray Communications Systems, Inc.
Capital Accumulation Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1998
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
The following brief description of the Gray Communications Systems, Inc. Capital
Accumulation Plan (the "Plan") is provided for general information purposes
only. Participants should refer to the Plan Document for more complete
information.
The Plan was established effective October 1, 1994 for the benefit of eligible
employees of Gray Communications Systems, Inc., and of its subsidiaries and
affiliates that subsequently adopt the Plan.
GENERAL
The Plan is a voluntary defined contribution plan for salaried and non-salaried
employees of Gray Communications Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the
"Sponsor") who have completed one eligibility year of service as defined in the
Plan document. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").
While the Sponsor has not expressed any intent to do so, the Benefit Committee
retains the right to terminate the Plan at any time, subject to the provisions
of ERISA. In the event a decision is made by the Benefit Committee to terminate
the Plan, all participants shall receive full distribution of the balance in
their account.
TRUST AGREEMENT
Assets of the Plan are held for safekeeping and investment by INVESCO Trust
Company (the "Trustee") as part of a trust agreement between the Sponsor and the
Trustee.
CONTRIBUTIONS
Each active Plan participant may make contributions up to a maximum of 16% of
their compensation on a before-tax basis and up to a maximum of 16% on an
after-tax basis, as long as the sum of the before-tax and after-tax percentages
does not exceed 16% of compensation on a before-tax basis. Participant
contributions made on a before-tax basis under Section 401(k) of the Internal
Revenue Code (the "Code") can not exceed the elective contribution limit of
$10,000 and $9,500 during the years ended 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Contributions by highly compensated employees are subject to additional
restrictions.
The Sponsor shall contribute to the Plan a percentage, as determined by a
declaration of its Board of Directors before the beginning of any Plan year, of
the eligible contributions of plan participants not to exceed 6% of eligible
compensation as defined in the Plan document. The matching percentage was 50%
for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Sponsor's
matching contributions can be made either in shares of Gray Communications
Systems, Inc. Class B common stock or in cash. Any forfeitures of Sponsor
contributions are used to reduce future Sponsor contributions. Forfeitures of
nonvested amounts were approximately $63,700 and $33,200 for the years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)
VESTING
Participants are fully vested with regard to their contributions. Participants
vest in the Sponsor's contributions after completing five years of service, as
defined in the Plan document.
WITHDRAWALS
A participant may withdraw all or part of their after-tax contributions for any
reason, subject to the suspension of such participant's rights to make after tax
contributions for six months.
Hardship withdrawals may be available as defined by the Plan document. A
participant making a hardship withdrawal is ineligible to contribute to the Plan
for the next twelve months from the date of receipt of the withdrawal and is
prohibited from making any elective or employee contributions to all other plans
of the Sponsor, including, but not limited to, any stock option, stock purchase
or similar plan maintained by the Sponsor.
DISTRIBUTIONS
A participant, following termination of employment, can elect to have Plan
benefits paid in a single lump-sum distribution, in installments or in a
combination of the two methods.
Approximately $-0- and $74,500 of the net assets available for benefits at
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, were allocated to the accounts of
persons who had withdrawn from participation in the Plan, but had not been paid.
Such amounts are recorded as benefits payable for purposes of the Plan's Form
5500.
LOANS
The Plan provides for participant loans at rates of interest established by the
Sponsor's Benefit Committee. Such loans are limited as defined by the Plan
document.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared based on the accrual
method of accounting with investments carried at fair values as described below.
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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Gray Communications Systems, Inc.
Capital Accumulation Plan
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
INVESTMENTS
The collective trust mutual funds are valued at their redemption prices (fair
values) as established by the Trustee. Generally, the fair values are based on
national stock exchange closing prices or other published sources. Investments
traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales
price on the last business day of the Plan year. Securities traded in the
over-the-counter market are valued at the last reported sales price on the last
business day of the Plan year.
Purchases and sales of securities are reflected on the trade dates. Dividend
income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income from other investments is
recorded as earned.
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
All administrative and investment expenses, except for fund management fees, are
paid by the Sponsor. Administrative and investment expenses paid by the Sponsor
were approximately $13,650 and $13,600 for the years ended December 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively.
3. INCOME TAX STATUS
The Internal Revenue Service ruled on October 25, 1995, that the Plan qualifies
under Section 401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") and,
therefore, the related trust is not subject to tax under present income tax law.
The Plan is required to operate in conformity with Section 401(a) of the Code to
maintain its qualification. Management of the Plan is not aware of any course of
action or series of events that have occurred that might adversely affect the
Plan's qualified status.
4. NET ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR BENEFITS
Participant contributions may be invested in collective investment trust mutual
funds offered by the Trustee or in a fund invested primarily in the Sponsor's
Class A and Class B common stock. Descriptions of the various funds are as
follows: (a) Principal Protection Fund, which is 80% invested in short term
money market instruments, intermediate government and corporate bond funds, and
20% in common stocks; (b) Intermediate Return Fund, which is 40% invested in
short term money market instruments, 20% in intermediate government and
corporate bond funds, and 40% in common stock funds; (c) Growth and Income Fund,
which is 20% invested in short term money market instruments, 20% in
intermediate government and corporate bond funds and 60% in common stock funds;
(d) Maximum Appreciation Fund, which is 20% invested in short term money market
instruments and intermediate government and corporate bond funds and 80%
invested in common stock funds; and/or (e) Gray Communications Systems, Inc.
Common Stock Fund, which is invested primarily in Gray Communications Systems,
Inc. Class A and Class B common stock. Participants elect the percentage
invested in each fund in multiples of 10%. Contributions to the Gray
Communications Systems, Inc. Common Stock Fund are temporarily invested in a
Retirement Trust Liquid Asset Fund until used to purchase Gray Communications
Systems, Inc. common stock. Participants cannot elect to participate in the
Retirement Trust Liquid Asset Fund.

5. YEAR 2000 ISSUE (UNAUDITED)
The Plan Sponsor has determined that it will be necessary to take certain steps
in order to ensure that the Plan's information systems are prepared to handle
year 2000 dates. The Plan Sponsor is taking a multiphase approach to the year
2000 issue which includes assessment, remediation, testing, and contingency
planning. The Plan Sponsor anticipates substantially completing all phases by
September 30, 1999. Costs associated with modifying software and equipment are
not estimated to be significant and will be paid by the Plan Sponsor.
Additionally, the Plan Sponsor established formal communications with its third
party service providers to determine that they have developed plans to address
their own year 2000 problems as they relate to the Plan's operations. All third
party service providers have indicated that they will be year 2000 compliant
during 1999. If modification of data processing systems of either the Plan, the
Plan Sponsor, or its service providers are not completed timely, the year 2000
problem could have a material impact on the operations of the Plan.
