INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Trustee and Participants of the
   USPCI, Inc. Savings Plan
Houston, Texas

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the USPCI, Inc. Savings Plan, successor to the Profit Sharing Plan for 
Employees of USPCI Group, (the "Plan") as of December 31, 1992 and 1991, 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 report dated August 4, 1993, we disclaimed opinions on the 1992 and 1991 
financial statements and supplemental schedules because we did not perform any 
auditing procedures with respect to investment information certified by the 
trustee of the Plan.  Such auditing procedures have been subsequently performed.
Accordingly, our present opinions on the 1992 and 1991 financial statements and 
supplemental schedules, as expressed herein, are different from our prior 
reports on the 1992 and 1991 financial statements and supplemental schedules.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material 
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 1992
and 1991, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years 
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. 

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic 
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules listed in the
Table of Contents are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are 
not a required part of the basic financial statements, but are supplementary 
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for 
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974.  These schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Such
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit
of the basic 1992 financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated 
in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic 1992 financial
statements taken as a whole.

USPCI, INC. SAVINGS PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1992 AND 1991     


1. PLAN DESCRIPTION

      General - The USPCI, Inc. Savings Plan (the "Plan"), sponsored by
      USPCI, Inc., and participating subsidiaries (the "Company"), was
      established January 1, 1991.  The Plan amended and restated the Profit
      Sharing Plan for Employees of USPCI Group (the "Predecessor Plan"),
      which was established January 1, 1987.  The Plan is a defined
      contribution plan.  All employees of the Company, other than temporary
      employees, are eligible plan participants.  The Plan is subject to the
      provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

      Contributions - Eligible participants may contribute up to 13 percent of
      their salary through payroll deductions before taxes.  The Company may
      match up to 3 percent of an employee's salary that is contributed.  The
      Company's contributions to the Plan for 1992 and 1991 were $384,145
      and $643,983, respectively.

      Participant Accounts - A separate account is maintained for each
      participant by Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company (the "Trustee").  The
      account balances for participants are adjusted on each valuation date as
      follows:

      .  Participant accounts are reduced by any payments made from the
         accounts since the preceding valuation date.

      .  Participant accounts are increased or reduced by the participant's
         allocable share of the net amount of income, gains and losses, and
         expenses of such applicable investment fund since the preceding       
         valuation date.

      .  Participant accounts are credited for any contributions made since
         the preceding valuation date.
   
      Vesting - Participants are fully vested in their plan account balances
      attributable to their own contributions.  Vesting in the account balance
      attributable to Company contributions follows a sliding scale according
      to which participants are vested in their accumulated plan benefits
      33 1/3% after three years of service; 66 2/3% after four years of service;
      and 100% after five years of service.  Upon termination, nonvested
      portions of participant account balances are forfeited.  The amounts
      forfeited by terminated participants reduce employer contributions. 
      Forfeitures applied in 1992 and 1991 were approximately $190,700 and
      $95,600, respectively.

      Payment of Benefits - Upon retirement at the age of 65, death or
      disability (if earlier), or termination of employment (in the case of 
      vested benefits), the balance in the separate account will be paid to the
      participant or his beneficiaries in a single-sum distribution.  Benefits
      payable to withdrawn participants at December 31, 1992 are $13,566
      and are included in net assets available for benefits.

<PAGE> F-6
      Termination - While the Company has not expressed any intent to terminate
      the Plan, it is free to do so at any time.  In the event of termination, 
      each participant automatically becomes vested to the extent of the balance
      in his separate account.

      Administration - The Plan is administered by a committee (the "Plan
      Administrator") appointed by the Company.

      Loans - Participants may borrow the lesser of (i) $50,000 or (ii) 50% of
      the vested account balance.  Loans bear interest at a rate determined by 
      the Plan Administrator and may be repaid over a period of up to five 
      years.  No loans are made for less than $1,000.  The loans are secured by
      the pledge of one-half of the participant's entire account balance.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      Determination of Tax Qualification - No provision for federal income taxes
      has been made in the financial statements of the Plan.  The Internal
      Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by letter dated
      March 1, 1989 that the Predecessor Plan is qualified and the trust fund
      established under this plan is tax-exempt, under the appropriate sections 
      of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").  The Plan
      has been amended and restated since receiving the determination letter. 
      However, the Company and the Plan Administrator believe that the Plan is
      currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable
      requirements of the Code.  Therefore, they believe that the Plan was
      qualified and the related trust was tax-exempt as of the financial 
      statement dates.  As a result, the Company's contributions to the trust 
      are not currently taxable when made, and income from any source is not 
      taxable when realized by the trust.

      Investment Valuation - Values for securities are based on the quoted net
      asset value (redemption value) of the respective investment company at 
      plan period end.  Collective investment funds are valued at their contract
      values, which approximate fair value.

3. INVESTMENTS 

      The following table presents the fair values of investments.  Investments
      that represent five percent or more of the Plan's net assets are 
      separately identified.
