1)       The  consolidated  condensed  interim  financial  statements  included
     herein have been prepared by the Company,  without  audit,  pursuant to the
     rules and  regulations of the Securities and Exchange  Commission.  Certain
     information  and  footnote   disclosures  normally  included  in  financial
     statements  prepared  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
     principles  have been  condensed  or  omitted  pursuant  to such  rules and
     regulations,  although  the  Company  believes  that  the  disclosures  are
     adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

2)        These  statements   reflect  all  adjustments   consisting  of  normal
     recurring accruals which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a
     fair  presentation of the information  contained  therein.  It is suggested
     that  these  consolidated   condensed  financial   statements  be  read  in
     conjunction  with the consolidated  financial  statements and notes thereto

4)        Primary  earnings per share is based upon the weighted  average number
     of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during each year.
     Fully  diluted  earnings  per  share is based  on the  above,  and in 1993,
     adjusted  for  the  assumed   conversion  of  the  Company's  6.5%  and  7%
     Convertible  Subordinated Debentures and the assumed increase in net income
     for the after tax interest cost of these debentures. In 1994, the Company's
     6.5% and the 4.5%/6.25% Step-Up  Convertible  Subordinated  Debentures were
     antidilutive  and,  therefore,  were excluded from the calculation of fully
     diluted  earnings per share.  The number of shares used in the computations
     of primary and fully diluted earnings per share were as follows:

5)        On May 26, 1993,  the Company  exchanged  1,349,260  shares of Company
     common stock for all of the outstanding voting shares of TBWA International
     B.V.  The  combination  was  accounted  for  as  a  pooling  of  interests.
     Accordingly,  the March 31, 1993 balance  sheet,  results of operations and
     cash flows have been restated to reflect the  combination  as of January 1,
     1993.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                   ------------------------------------------

Results of Operations

First Quarter 1994 Compared to First Quarter 1993:

     Consolidated  worldwide  revenues from commission and fee income  increased
11% to $376,538,000 in the first quarter of 1994 from  $339,139,000 in the first
quarter of 1993.  Consolidated domestic revenues increased 9% to $196,942,000 in
1994 from $179,936,000 in 1993.  Consolidated  international  commission and fee
income increased 13% to $179,596,000 in 1994 from  $159,203,000 in 1993.  Absent
the effect of the net  acquisitions  of  subsidiary  companies  and movements in
foreign  currency  exchange  rates,  consolidated  worldwide  commission and fee
income  increased 7% in the first quarter of 1994 as compared to the same period
in 1993.

     Operating  expenses  increased 10% in the first quarter of 1994 as compared
to the first  quarter  of 1993.  Excluding  the  effect  of the net  acquisition
activity and  movements in foreign  currency  exchange  rates  mentioned  above,
operating expenses increased 7% over 1993 levels.  This increase reflects normal
salary  increases,  and growth in client  service  expenditures  to support  the
increased  revenue base.  Operating  expenses as a percentage of commissions and
fees was 89.9% in the first quarter of 1994 and 90.7% in 1993.

                 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                     AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
                   ------------------------------------------
 

     Net interest expense  decreased by $374,000 in the first quarter of 1994 as
compared to the same period in 1993.  The  decrease  primarily  relates to lower
average interest rates during the quarter as compared to 1993.

     Pretax  profit  margin was 8.4% in the first quarter of 1994 as compared to
7.3% in the same period in 1993.  Operating margin,  which excludes interest and
dividend income and interest expense,  was 10.1% in the first quarter of 1994 as
compared to 9.3%, in the same period in 1993.


     The  effective  income tax rate was 41.7% in the first  quarter of 1994 and
42.0% in the first quarter of 1993.

     The  increase in equity in  affiliates  is  indicative  of greater  profits
earned by companies  in which the Company owns less than a 50% equity  interest.
Minority interests of $1,598,000 is comparable with the first quarter of 1993.

                 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                     AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
                   ------------------------------------------

     Net  income  before  the  cumulative  effect of the  adoption  of SFAS 112,
increased  31% to  $18,920,000  in the  first  quarter  of 1994 as  compared  to
$14,456,000 in the same period in 1993. Absent the effect of net acquisitions of
subsidiary  companies  and movements in foreign  currency  exchange  rates,  net
income  increased  20% in the first  quarter  of 1994 as  compared  to the first
quarter of 1993.

     Effective  January 1, 1994, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement
of  Financial   Accounting   Standards  No.  112   "Employers'   Accounting  for
Postemployment  Benefits."  The  cumulative  after-tax  effect  of this  onetime
non-cash charge was $28,009,000.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

     Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 1994 decreased to $118,324,000  from
$174,833,000  at  December  31,  1993.  This  decline  is due to the  paydown of
year-end accrued liabilities and payments to media and other suppliers exceeding
collections  from clients.  Both events are normal recurring  seasonal  industry
patterns.  The  relationship  between  payables to the media and  suppliers  and
receivables  from clients,  at March 31, 1994,  compares  favorably to customary
industry practices.

                 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                     AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
                   ------------------------------------------

     The Company maintains relationships with a number of banks worldwide, which
have extended unsecured  committed lines of credit in amounts sufficient to meet
the Company's  cash needs.  At March 31, 1994, the Company had  $346,106,000  in
committed lines of credit,  comprised of $200,000,000  under a revolving  credit
agreement expiring June 30, 1995, and $146,106,000 in unsecured  committed lines
of credit,  principally  outside of the United States.  Of the  $346,106,000  in
committed lines,  $147,548,000  remained available at March 31, 1994. Management
believes the aggregate lines of credit  available to the Company are adequate to
support its short term cash requirements for dividends, capital expenditures and
maintenance  of working  capital.  The Company has no present plans to introduce
incremental  additional  issues of long term debt. The Company  anticipates that
future  cash flows from  operations  plus funds  available  under line of credit
facilities  will be  adequate  to  support  its long term cash  requirements  as
presently contemplated.
