Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act or any company registered as an
investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" EACH OF THE FOUR NOMINEES FOR
DIRECTOR SET FORTH ABOVE.
COMMITTEES AND MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The standing committees of the Board of Directors are the Audit
Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Special Compensation Committee, the
Independent Directors Committee, the Special Transactions Committee and the
Nominating Committee. The Audit Committee is composed of Messrs. Rossi
(Chairman), O'Neill and Kendall. The Audit Committee was formed in 1994 and
given general responsibility for meeting periodically with representatives of
ACS's independent public accountants and electronic data processing ("EDP")
auditors to review the general scope of audit coverage, including consideration
of ACS's accounting and EDP practices and procedures and the adequacy of ACS's
system of internal controls, and to report to the Board of Directors with
respect thereto. The Audit Committee also is responsible for recommending to the
Board of Directors the appointment of ACS's independent public accountants and
EDP auditors and is also responsible for monitoring ACS's "Year 2000"
compliance.
The Compensation Committee was formed in May 1994. The members of the
Compensation Committee are Messrs. Deason (Chairman), Rossi and O'Neill. The
Compensation Committee is responsible for recommending to the Board of Directors
policies and plans concerning the salaries, bonuses and other compensation of
the executive officers of ACS, including reviewing the salaries of the executive
officers and recommending bonuses and other forms of additional compensation for
the executive officers and the administration of and grant of awards under ACS's
stock option plans. In connection with ACS's establishment of certain procedures
to comply with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended, so that compensation to executive officers whose
compensation exceeds $1 million may be deductible by ACS for federal income tax
purposes, ACS formed the Special Compensation Committee in August 1996. The
members of the Special Compensation Committee are Messrs. Rossi and O'Neill
(Chairman). The Special Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewing the
compensation of the executive officers whose compensation exceeds $1 million,
including reviewing and recommending salaries, bonuses and other forms of
additional compensation, including grants of awards under the stock option
plans.
The members of the Independent Directors Committee are Messrs. O'Neill
and Rossi (Chairman). The Independent Directors Committee was formed in May 1994
to review annually the prices and terms of the services, forms and supplies
provided between ACS and Precept, an affiliate of ACS, pursuant to ACS's
reciprocal services agreement and other related party transactions. See "Certain
Transactions."
The Special Transactions Committee, which was formed in August 1997 and
on which Mr. Deason serves, has the responsibility of considering, evaluating,
and approving the negotiations of potential transactions resulting in the
acquisition of assets, businesses, or stock of third parties for cash, ACS Class
A common stock, or other consideration with a dollar value of up to the greater
of $50,000,000 or 10% of ACS's consolidated assets.
The Nominating Committee, which was formed in March 1999 and on which
Mr. Deason serves, has the responsibility of considering, evaluating and
recommending to the Board the slate of director nominees. Recommendations as to
nominees will be considered by the Nominating Committee. Such recommendations
can be submitted to the Nominating Committee by directing them to ACS's
executive offices at 2828 North Haskell Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75204, to the
attention of Darwin Deason.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, there were four regular
meetings of ACS's Board of Directors. No incumbent directors attended fewer than
75% of the aggregate of (i) the Board meetings held during the fiscal
8
<PAGE> 10
year and (ii) the meetings held by all committees of the Board on which he
served. There were twelve meetings held by ACS's Audit Committee during the
fiscal year, two meetings held by each of ACS's Compensation and Special
Compensation Committee and one meeting held by each of the Independent Directors
Committee and the Nominating Committee during the fiscal year.
PROPOSAL 2
APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO ACS'S CHARTER
TO AUTHORIZE THE CURRENT CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD
TO FILL ANY FUTURE VACANCIES ON ACS'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS
ACS's Restated Articles of Incorporation, or Charter, currently gives
the directors the authority to fill vacancies on the Board of Directors, whether
resulting from the removal of, or resignation by, a director or directors. In
March 1999, the ACS Board approved an amendment to the Charter to authorize the
current Chairman of the Board to fill future vacancies on the ACS Board of
Directors, whether resulting from removal of, or resignation by, a director or
directors, for the remaining portion of the term of the former Director. This
amendment must also be approved by the shareholders. This action was taken after
ACS entered into an Employment Agreement with the current Chairman of the Board,
Darwin Deason, which included a provision giving Mr. Deason this authority,
subject to an appropriate Charter amendment. This Employment Agreement is
described below at "Executive Compensation and Other Information-Mr. Deason's
Supplemental Executive Retirement Agreement and Employment Agreement." Vesting
this authority in the current Chairman is intended to ensure the orderly
succession of members of the ACS Board of Directors.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE
CHARTER.
PROPOSAL 3
APPROVAL OF PERFORMANCE-BASED INCENTIVE
COMPENSATION FOR THE COMPANY'S EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
The Internal Revenue Code limit ACS's tax deduction for expense in
connection with compensation of its chief executive officer and its four other
most highly-compensated executive officers for any fiscal year to the extent
that the remuneration of such person exceeds $1 million during such fiscal year,
excluding remuneration that qualifies as "performance-based compensation."
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code provides that in order for
remuneration to be treated as qualified performance-based compensation, the
material terms of the performance goals must be disclosed to and approved by the
stockholders of the employer.
At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders will be asked to approve the
terms relating to incentive compensation to be paid to ACS's executive officers.
Executive officer compensation for fiscal year 2000 will consist of a base
salary, stock option plan, and bonus compensation and will be based on criteria
similar to criteria previously used for ACS's executive officers. See "Executive
Compensation and Other Information--Compensation Committee Report on Executive
Compensation." Executive officers will be entitled to receive varying ranges of
up to 250% (up to 250% for the Chairman of the Board, up to 200% for the
President and Chief Executive Officer and up to 125% for all other executive
officers) of their base salaries upon achievement of bonus performance goals
which include ACS's achievement of four targeted financial measures:
consolidated revenues, consolidated earnings before interest, taxes and
depreciation, consolidated pre-tax earnings and consolidated earnings per share.
In addition to the above described bonus plan, for fiscal year 2000, there is an
accelerator bonus plan which allows each of the executive officers to earn up to
an additional 25% of their maximum bonus upon exceeding certain financial
projections. The bonus performance goals have been pre-established by the
Compensation Committee and approved by the Board of Directors for all executive
officers other than any executive officer whose compensation may exceed $1
million. For any executive officer whose compensation may exceed $1 million,
bonus performance goals are previously established by the Special Compensation
Committee, which is comprised solely of non-employee directors, and approved by
the Board of Directors. ACS believes that

the incentive-related provisions provide performance incentives that are and
will be beneficial to ACS and its stockholders.
DIRECTOR AND EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND OTHER INFORMATION
DIRECTOR'S COMPENSATION
Each member of the Board of Directors of ACS who is not employed by ACS
receives compensation in the amount of $3,000 for attendance at each Board
meeting. Directors are reimbursed for their travel expenses incurred in
connection with the meetings. On November 30, 1994, ACS and each of Messrs.
O'Neill and Rossi entered into consulting agreements in which Messrs. O'Neill
and Rossi agreed to provide, among other things, certain corporate development
services to ACS. Such agreements are terminable by either party with 30 days
notice. Pursuant to such agreements, in exchange for such services, Messrs.
O'Neill and Rossi receive nominal consideration and ACS reimburses both Messrs.
O'Neill and Rossi for their out-of-pocket expenses. ACS has granted Messrs.
Rossi and O'Neill options to purchase 50,000 and 20,000 shares of Class A common
stock, respectively. Such options vest ratably over five years.

MR. DEASON'S SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT AGREEMENT AND EMPLOYMENT
AGREEMENT
In December 1998, ACS entered into a Supplemental Executive Retirement
Agreement with Mr. Deason. Pursuant to the Supplemental Agreement, Mr. Deason
will receive a benefit upon the occurrence of certain events equal to the excess
of the value of particular options granted to Mr. Deason (including 75,000
shares covered by options granted in October 1998 with an exercise price of
$23.08 per share) over an actuarially calculated amount based on a percentage of
his average monthly compensation determined by his monthly compensation during
the highest thirty-six consecutive calendar months from among the 120
consecutive calendar months ending on the earlier of his termination with ACS or
his normal retirement date. The percentage applied to the average monthly
compensation will vary from 2% on June 30, 1999 to 56% on May 18, 2005. The
events triggering the benefit are normal retirement, late retirement, total and
permanent disability, death, resignation, change in control of ACS or
termination for reasons other than cause. The benefit will be paid in a lump sum
or, at the election of Mr. Deason, in monthly installments over a period not to
exceed ten years. If the payment is caused by a change in control and at such
time Mr. Deason would be subject to an excise tax under the Internal Revenue
Code with respect to the benefit, the amount of the benefit will be grossed-up
to offset this tax.
In March 1999, ACS also entered into an Employment Agreement with Mr.
Deason. The Employment Agreement, which replaced an earlier severance agreement,
has a term until May 18, 2004, unless extended in accordance with its terms or
terminated earlier, either by Mr. Deason or by a unanimous vote of the Board of
Directors (not including Mr. Deason). The Employment Agreement provides for a
base salary of $525,000 per year, subject to annual adjustments by a percentage
equal to the average percentage adjustments to the annual salaries of the top
five executive officers of ACS. The Employment Agreement also provides for an
annual bonus based on the achievement of financial goals set for Mr. Deason by
the Special Compensation Committee. This bonus can be up to 250% of Mr. Deason's
base salary for that year. In addition, the Employment Agreement provides for
severance benefits for Mr. Deason upon a change of control of ACS and for
supplemental retirement benefits for Mr. Deason.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE AND SPECIAL COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORTS ON EXECUTIVE
COMPENSATION
The Compensation Committee has been responsible for administering ACS's
Stock Option Plan and approving compensation for ACS's senior executives,
including recommending to the Board of Directors policies and plans concerning
the salaries, bonuses and other compensation for all executive officers, except
that such approval and recommendation with respect to salaries, bonus and other
compensation for Mr. Deason and, beginning with fiscal year 1999, Mr. Rich are
the responsibility of the Special Compensation Committee. Mr. Deason's
Supplemental Executive Retirement Agreement and Employment Agreement, which are
described above, have been reviewed and approved by the Special Compensation
Committee. The objective of ACS's executive compensation program is to attract
and retain qualified, motivated executives and to closely align their financial
interests with both the short and long-term interests of ACS's stockholders. The
executive compensation program is intended to provide ACS's executive officers
with overall levels of compensation that are competitive within the information
industry, as well as within a broader spectrum of companies of size and
complexity.
The three principal components of ACS's executive compensation program
are base salary, annual incentive bonus opportunities and stock options.
BASE SALARIES
Each executive officer's base salary is reviewed annually and is
subject to adjustment on the basis of individual, corporate and business unit
performance, as well as competitive and inflationary considerations.
INCENTIVE BONUS
Incentive bonus payments for executive officers are made at the end of
each fiscal year based upon the achievement of some or all of the following:
consolidated financial criteria (which can include consolidated revenues,
consolidated earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation, consolidated
pre-tax earnings and consolidated earnings per share), business unit financial
criteria, and the attainment of individual goals. Such criteria and goals are
established by the Chairman of the Board of ACS subject to approval by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at the beginning of each fiscal
year (or, in the cases of the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer, subject
to the approval of the Special Compensation Committee). During fiscal year 1999,
ACS achieved 100% of such measures of consolidated financial criteria. For
fiscal year 1999, executive officers were eligible to receive maximum bonuses of
between 125% and 250% of salary provided the set goals and criteria were met.
In addition to the above described bonus plan, for fiscal year 2000,
there is an accelerator bonus plan which allows each of the executive officers
to earn up to an additional 25% of their maximum bonus upon exceeding certain
financial projections.
STOCK OPTION PLAN
ACS's 1997 Stock Incentive Plan ("Stock Option Plan") is administered
by the Compensation Committee and, with respect to Darwin Deason and Jeffrey A.
Rich, the Special Compensation Committee of ACS's Board of Directors. The
Compensation Committee and the Special Compensation Committee have determined
the individuals eligible to receive grants of options under the Stock Option
Plan, the type of option granted, the number of shares of Class A common stock
subject to a grant and the terms of the grant, including exercise price,
exercise date and any restrictions on exercise. The Compensation Committee also
has been responsible for determining the advisability and terms of any buyout of
options previously granted, reductions in the exercise prices of previously
granted options and the terms of any deferred grant of options granted under the
Stock Option Plan.
13
<PAGE> 15
The Stock Option Plan also provides for the issuance of stock purchase
rights. When the Compensation Committee determines to grant a stock purchase
right, it advises the recipient of the grant of the terms and conditions of the
grant, including any restrictions on the grant, the number of shares subject to
the grant, the exercise price of the grant and the time within which the grant
must be accepted by the recipient. The maximum amount of time that a recipient
may have to accept the grant is 30 days. The purchase price of stock acquired
pursuant to a stock purchase right shall not be less than 50% of the fair market
value of ACS's Class A common stock at the time of grant. There have been no
stock purchase rights granted through June 30, 1999.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
In connection with the reorganization of ACS on June 30, 1994, ACS and
Precept entered into a reciprocal services agreement pursuant to which Precept
would sell business forms and supplies, and provide courier and certain other
administrative services to ACS, and ACS would provide office space and certain
administrative services to Precept. Mr. Deason is a director and holds voting
control of Precept. Douglas Deason, one of Mr. Deason's sons, is the President
and a director of Precept and owns in excess of 10% of Precept's outstanding
common stock. The prices for all services, forms and supplies provided by
Precept to ACS under such agreement must be no less favorable than could be
obtained from an independent third party and are subject to review from time to
time by the Independent Directors Committee of ACS. The prices for all services
provided by ACS to Precept will be at no less than ACS's direct cost. The costs
incurred by ACS for services provided by Precept covered by such reciprocal
services agreement, which are believed to approximate fair market value, were
approximately $6 million for fiscal year 1999. Precept's payments to ACS under
the reciprocal services agreement were approximately $.1 million for fiscal year
1999.
Mr. Deason, ACS and Precept, along with two other investors, are the
stockholders in DDH Aviation, Inc., a start-up corporate airplane brokerage firm
organized in late 1997. DDH has a $30 million line of credit with Wells Fargo
Bank, N.A., for which Mr. Deason and ACS, in exchange for warrants to acquire
additional voting stock, act as guarantors for up to approximately $11.5 million
each. Taking into account the exercise of such warrants, Mr. Deason owns over
one-third of the equity interests in DDH and ACS owns approximately 18%. Mr.
Deason is one of the five directors of DDH, as well as its Chairman of the
Board. ACS has access to aircraft from DDH.
Relationship with Independent Public Accountants
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent certified accountants, has been
selected as ACS's independent accountant for the fiscal year 2000.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP was also ACS's independent accountant for fiscal year
1999. A representative of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is expected to be present
at the Annual Meeting. That representative will have an opportunity to make a
statement, if desired, and will be available to respond to appropriate
questions.
