Items 1-6. Not applicable.

Item 7.    Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits

This amendment provides the pro forma financial  information pursuant to Article
11 of  Regulation  S-X for the period ended  December  31,  1997,  which was not
included  in the  Company's  Form 8-K  filed on  February  6,  1998,  since  the
information for the period was not determinable at such time.

                           Outsourcing Solutions Inc.
              Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements

On January 23, 1998,  Outsourcing  Solutions  Inc.  ("OSI"),  through its wholly
owned subsidiary,  Sherman Acquisition  Corporation,  completed its tender offer
for all outstanding shares of Common Stock of The Union Corporation ("Union") at
a price of $31.50 per share in cash.  The aggregate  purchase price of the Union
acquisition was approximately  $207.7 million,  including  transaction fees. The
merger was completed on March 31, 1998.

The acquisition  was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.  The
Unaudited Pro Forma  Consolidated  Financial  Statements reflect the preliminary
allocation of the purchase price for Union to its tangible and intangible assets
and  liabilities.  The final  allocation of such purchase  price,  and resulting
amortization  expense, may differ somewhat from the preliminary  estimates.  The
following Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated  Financial  Statements are based upon
the  historical  financial  statements of OSI and Union,  and have been prepared
using assumptions, as set forth in the accompanying Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma
Consolidated   Financial  Statements.   The  Unaudited  Pro  Forma  Consolidated
Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 1997 gives effect to the
acquisition  of Union  and the  related  financing  as if they had  occurred  on
January  1, 1997.  The  Unaudited  Pro Forma  Consolidated  Balance  Sheet as of
December  31,  1997 gives  effect to the  acquisition  of Union and the  related
financing as if they had occurred at that date.  The pro forma  adjustments  are
based  upon  available  information  and  certain  assumptions  that  management
believes are reasonable.

The  Unaudited  Pro Forma  Consolidated  Financial  Statements do not purport to
represent what OSI's financial position or results of operations would have been
if  consummation  of the acquisition of Union had occurred on the date indicated
or which may be  achieved  in the future.  Except for the  elimination  of costs
associated  with duplicate  administrative  functions and facilities  based upon
actions  actually  taken as of the close of the  transaction,  anticipated  cost
savings have not been reflected in this presentation.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed  Consolidated  Financial  Statements should be
read in conjunction with the historical  consolidated  financial  statements and
accompanying notes for OSI and Union (filed separately).

(A)  Elimination of duplicative  general and administrative  expenses which will
     not be incurred prospectively.

(B)  Goodwill amortization expense related to the Union acquisition,  net of the
     elimination of goodwill  amortization  expense recorded by Union during the
     year  ended  December  31,  1997.   Goodwill  expense  is  amortized  on  a
     straight-line  basis over 30 years. The amortization  expense is based on a
     preliminary allocation and future adjustments may be required.

(C)  Interest  of  8.69% on the  necessary  borrowings  to  complete  the  Union
     acquisition, net of the elimination of Union interest income related to the
     utilization  of cash on hand to pay for a portion of the  acquisition.  The
     interest  rate is based on the  specific  terms  of  OSI's  secured  credit
     facility (London  Interbank  Offered Rate plus an additional  margin of 300
     basis  points).   In  addition,   this  adjustment   includes  $425,000  in
     amortization of debt origination fees.

(D)  Income  tax  benefit  as a result  of the  adjustments  described  in these
     footnotes,  except for certain  goodwill  amortization  adjustments,  at an
     effective statutory tax rate of 39.0%

(A)  Represents the step-up of Union's tangible  assets,  primarily real estate,
     to estimated fair value at date of acquisition.

(B)  Represents the current deferred income tax asset established related to the
     net  operating  loss  incurred  by Union in its  final tax  period,  net of
     reserves recorded to reflect future deductible temporary tax differences at
     their estimated realizable value.

(C)  The  Company  amended  its  existing  credit  facility  to  provide  for an
     additional $225 million in bank debt to finance the acquisition.  Financing
     fees associated with the credit facility totaled $2.9 million and are being
     amortized on a straight line basis over the term of the credit agreement. A
     portion of the proceeds from the additional  borrowings  were used to repay
     outstanding debt under Union's pre-existing revolving credit agreement.

(D)  Represents  the  valuation  reserves  established  to reflect the Company's
     current estimates of the net realizable value associated with certain Union
     investments.

(E)  Based on a preliminary  review of tangible  assets acquired and liabilities
     assumed,  as well as the operating  characteristics  of Union,  no specific
     intangible   assets  were  identified.   Accordingly,   residual   goodwill
     associated with the acquisition was $212.5 million.  This asset,  amortized
     on a  straight-line  basis  over  30  years,  is  based  on  a  preliminary
     allocation and future adjustments may be required.

(F)  Represents accrued  liabilities  recorded with respect to change in control
     payments,   involuntary   severance  expenses  and  stay  bonuses  directly
     associated  with  the  elimination  or  integration  of  Union's  corporate
     function.

(G)  Based on a  detailed  review  of the  environmental  proceedings  currently
     involving  Union,  including  consultation  with  outside  specialists,  an
     additional  provision was  established to reserve for current  estimates of
     exposures for which the Company has potential continuing responsibility.

(H)  Represents the elimination of the Union equity balances at acquisition.
