To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
of Access Worldwide Communications, Inc.


In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and the related statements of
operations, of changes in stockholder's equity and of cash flows present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of A.M. Medica Communications,
Ltd. (the "Company") at September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 and 1996 and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 and the two years ended December 31, 1997 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which 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, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
     
                                     GENERAL

A.M. Medica Communications, Ltd. (the "Company") provides a range of services to
companies in the pharmaceutical industry, including medical education programs,
medical meetings management, medical publishing, medical audio-visual production
and interactive medical education programs. These services are typically
performed under fixed-price contacts.

REVENUE RECOGNITION 
Revenues are recognized on the completed contract method based on when the 
services have been rendered.

Contract costs include all direct reimbursable and labor costs. General and
administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.

DEFERRED REVENUE
Deferred revenue represents customer deposits for services that have been
contracted for but have not been fully performed.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is computed using accelerated methods over the estimated useful
lives of the assets ranging from five to seven years. When assets are retired or
otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed
from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in income for the
period. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, while
expenditures for major renewals that extend useful lives are capitalized.

INCOME TAXES
The Company, with the consent of its stockholder, elected under the Internal
Revenue Code to be an S Corporation, since its inception in 1986. In lieu of
corporate income taxes, the stockholder is taxed on her proportionate share of
the Company's taxable income. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal
income taxes has been included in the financial statements.

A provision for state and local income taxes is included in the financial
statements since S Corporation elections are not recognized for state and local
income tax purposes.

1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D.)

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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued
expenses and deferred revenue approximate fair value given the terms and
short-term nature of these instruments.

2. CONTRACT RECEIVABLES

Contract receivables consist of the following:

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On October 24, 1998 Access Worldwide Communications, Inc. ("Access") acquired
all the outstanding capital stock of the Company. The consideration paid for the
stock of the Company was $22 million in cash, $0.5 million of Access common
stock, $.01 par value, valued at the average closing price for the 10 trading
days ending three business days prior to the closing date and a three year 6.5%
subordinated promissory note in the principal amount of $5.5 million. The
purchase price also includes certain future contingent payments of cash and
shares of Access' common stock dependent on the achievement of certain financial
goals by the Company. The ultimate amount of cash to be paid and the ultimate
number of shares of common stock to be issued cannot be determined until the
earn-out periods terminate and achievement of criteria is established.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  (1)Reflects the historical consolidated statements of operations of Access
     Worldwide Communications, Inc. ("Access") for the nine months ended
     September 30, 1998 and the year ended December 31, 1997.

  (2)Reflects the historical statements of operations of A.M. Medica
     Communications, Ltd. ("AMM") for the nine months ended September 30, 1998
     and the year ended December 31, 1997 prior to the date of its acquisition
     by Access.

  (3)Reflects the adjustment to convert revenue recognition from the
     completed-contract method used by AMM to the percentage-of-completion
     method in accordance with Access' accounting policy, as if such acquisition
     occurred on January 1, 1997.

  (4)Reflects the adjustment to selling, general and administrative expenses to
     reduce AMM's historical amount of compensation for services provided by the
     former owner for the difference between such historical amount and the
     amount specified in the employment contract with the former owner for a
     comparable position in Access.

  (5)Reflects the additional amortization over four to 35 years of the excess of
     cost over fair value of net assets acquired and other intangible assets of
     AMM, as if such acquisition occurred on January 1, 1997.

  (6)Reflects the additional interest expense-related parties of approximately
     $268,500 and $358,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and the
     year ended December 31, 1997, respectively, on the 6.5% subordinated
     promissory note, maturing on October 24, 2001, used in conjunction with the
     acquisition as if such acquisition occurred on January 1, 1997. The
     adjustment also reflects additional interest expense of approximately
     $1,047,000 and $1,396,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and
     the year ended December 31, 1997, respectively, on Access' line of credit
     at 6.34% (the current actual rate on the borrowing) to fund the cash
     portion of the purchase price, as if such acquisition occurred on January
     1, 1997. Annual interest expense on the line of credit would change by
     approximately $27,500 for each 1/8% change in the interest rate.

  (7)Reflects the estimated income tax provision of $508,000 and $395,000 as if
     AMM were a C Corporation and the tax effect of pro forma adjustments at an
     effective tax rate of 46% and 47% for the nine months ended September 30,
     1998 and the year ended December 31, 1997, respectively. The adjustment
     also reflects the estimated income tax benefit of $32,000 and $118,000 to
     record the consolidated income tax expense at Access' consolidated
     estimated effective tax rate of 44% and 45% for the nine months ended
     September 30, 1998 and the year ended December 31, 1997, respectively.

  (8)Reflects the historical balance sheet data for Access as of September 30,
     1998.

      The book value of AMM's assets approximates fair market value as of the
      date of acquisition. Access is obligated to pay additional consideration
      to the former owner of AMM based upon the business' achievement of certain
      EBITA goals after the acquisition. The ultimate amount of cash to be paid
      and the ultimate number of shares of common stock to be issued cannot be
      determined until the earn-out periods terminate and achievement of
      criteria is established. Any amount paid pursuant to this agreement will
      be recorded as additional purchase price for the business acquired and
      will be amortized over 35 years.

 (11)Reflects the impact of the additional shares issued pursuant to the
     transaction and the resultant impact on weighted average shares
     outstanding.
