2. ACQUISITION OF MCG/HEALTHCARE

On April 5, 1999, CBI purchased the assets and business and assumed certain
liabilities of Phynque, Inc., d/b/a Management Compensation Group/HealthCare, a
Minnesota corporation, for a purchase price of $35.9 million consisting of:

         (i)      a cash payment of $13.8 million;

         (ii)     a promissory note for $8.7 million;

         (iii)    326,363 shares of common stock, having an aggregate value of
                  $5.3 million based on the closing price of the common stock on
                  April 5, 1999;

         (iv)     the direct payment of $3.6 million for certain outstanding
                  loans;

         (v)      the assumption of $4.2 million of liabilities and $310,000 of
                  closing costs.

The purchase price was determined by an arm's length negotiation among the
parties. The assets acquired include cash, receivables and operating assets in
addition to all intangible assets, intellectual property, files pertaining to
customers, computer software and systems and related licenses. The liabilities
assumed include commissions payable, accrued employee benefits and operating
expenses. The $17.4 million cash portion of the purchase price was funded by a
borrowing under CBI's existing credit facility. The promissory note is payable
in thirty-two equal quarterly installments of principal and interest at 10% per
annum of $430,000 commencing on April 5, 2000. The promissory note is secured by
a personal guarantee of W. T. Wamberg, Chairman of Clark/Bardes.

MCG/HealthCare is a 180 employee executive benefit consulting organization
servicing the healthcare industry. MCG/HealthCare is headquartered in
Minneapolis, Minnesota. Prior to the acquisition described above, there was no
material relationship between CBI and MCG/HealthCare.

The unaudited pro forma information below presents the results of CBI and
MCG/HealthCare as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1998:

Management Compensation Group/HealthCare

On April 5, 1999, we purchased the assets and business and assumed certain
liabilities of Phynque, Inc., d/b/a Management Compensation Group/HealthCare for
a purchase price of $35.9 million consisting of the following:

     (1) a cash payment of $13.8 million;

     (2) a promissory note for $8.7 million;

     (3) 326,363 shares of common stock, having an aggregate value of $5.3
         million based on the closing price of the common stock on April 5,
         1999;

     (4) the direct payment of $3.6 million for certain outstanding loans; and

     (5) the assumption of $4.2 million of liabilities and payment of
         approximately $310,000 of closing costs.

The assets acquired included cash, receivables and operating assets in addition
to all intangible assets, and intellectual property. The liabilities assumed
included commissions payable, accrued employee benefits and operating expenses.
The $17.4 million cash portion of the purchase price was funded by a borrowing
under our existing credit facility. The promissory note is payable in thirty-two
equal quarterly installments of principal and interest at 10% per annum of
$430,000 starting April 5, 2000. The promissory note is secured by a personal
guarantee from W. T. Wamberg, Chairman of Clark/Bardes, Inc. MCG/Healthcare is a
180 employee executive benefit consulting organization servicing the healthcare
industry and is headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The acquisition of MCG/Healthcare marked our entrance into the healthcare and
not-for-profit executive benefit and compensation plan business.

For the periods prior to the acquisition, MCG had revenue and net income as

Renewal Revenue

As in the case of first year revenue, the Clark/Bardes Division's bank-owned
life insurance revenue accounted for a significant percentage of our renewal
revenue:

     o    64.0% for the second quarter

     o    75.0% for the six month period - June 30, 1999 of our renewal revenue.

Six Months            $ 8.2     54.3%
</TABLE>

The following table represents the gross revenue associated with our inforce
business-owned life insurance policies as of June 30, 1999. The projected gross
revenue stated below is not adjusted for mortality, lapse or other factors that
may impair the collection of revenue. For example, approximately $25.0 million
or 6.0% of the projected gross revenue is with General American. General
American is currently experiencing financial difficulties, and it is uncertain
that we can collect revenues associated with the policies placed with General
American, regardless of whether they remain inforce. We believe that the General
American revenues will be paid, however, we cannot assure you that commissions
associated with General American or any other insurance carriers that underwrite
these policies will be received.

These projected gross revenues are based on the beliefs and assumptions of
management and are not necesssarily indicative of the revenues that may actually
be achieved in the future.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

We continue to generate strong cash flow from earnings. We use the net cash from
our operations and external financing to fund capital expenditures and small
acquisitions. While our current ratio was approximately one-to-one at June 30,
1999 compared to 1.6 to one at December 31, 1998, we believe that our strong
cash flow will be sufficient to fund capital requirements and all obligations as
they become due. We expect that large future acquisitions will be financed
primarily through externally available funds. However, we can offer no assurance
that such funds will be available and, if so, on terms acceptable to us.

   Financing activities         31.8       (1.7)      33.5
</TABLE>


Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Our cash from operations improved during the first six months of 1999 compared
with the same period of 1998. The increased cash from operations consisted
primarily of two factors:

     o   Cash flow from earnings (net income plus non-cash charges) was $5.0
         million in 1999 compared with $5.6 million in 1998. However, it should
         be noted that no income taxes were paid in 1998; and

     o   Working capital contributed $3.0 million, primarily the result of
         timing of paying liabilities.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

Acquisitions accounted for $38.5 million of the $41.6 million used in investing
activities. The balance was comprised of $2.2 million for purchase of equipment
and $1.0 million for various non-current assets such as deferred debt expenses
($400,000) and artwork acquired in connection with the MCG Acquisition
($617,000).

Cash spending for acquisitions included:

     o        MCG/HealthCare                              $    17.4

     o        Assets from The Wamberg Organization        $     7.5

We expect acquisitions to continue for the remainder of the year and, which will
be financed primarily with cash available credit lines and possibly additional
equity. However, we can offer no assurances such will be the case.
