                      OMNICOM GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


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.    Certain
     reclassifications  have been made to the June 30, 1994 reported  amounts to
     conform them with the June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 presentation.  It
     is suggested that these consolidated condensed financial statements be read
     in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
     included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K.

3)   Results  of  operations  for  the  interim   periods  are  not  necessarily
     indicative of annual results.

                                  (Continued)

4)   Primary  earnings  per share is based upon the weighted  average  number of
     common shares and common share equivalents  outstanding during each period.
     Fully  diluted  earnings per share is based on the above,  and if dilutive,
     adjusted  for  the  assumed   conversion  of  the   Company's   Convertible
     Subordinated  Debentures  and the  assumed  increase  in net income for the
     after  tax  interest  cost of  these  debentures.  At June  30,  1995,  the
     4.5%/6.25% Step-Up Convertible Subordinated Debentures were outstanding. At
     June  30,  1994,  the  6.5%  Convertible  Subordinated  Debentures  and the
     4.5%/6.25% Step-Up  Convertible  Subordinated  Debentures were outstanding.
     The number of shares used in the  computations of primary and fully diluted
     earnings per share were as follows:

                               Three Months                   Six Months
                              Ended June 30,                Ended June 30,

                            1995           1994           1995          1994
                         ----------     ----------     ----------     ----------
Primary                  36,067,400     33,027,000     35,998,100     33,012,800
Fully diluted            38,723,000     39,225,700     38,679,700     39,209,400

     For purposes of computing  fully  diluted  earnings per share on net income
     and the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle for the six
     months  ended  June  30,  1994,  the  Company's  Convertible   Subordinated
     Debentures were not reflected in the  computations as their inclusion would
     have been anti-dilutive.

5)   On January 4, 1995,  an  indirect  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of the Company
     issued Deutsche Mark 200 million  Floating Rate Bonds  (approximately  $130
     million at the January 4, 1995  exchange  rate).  The bonds are  unsecured,
     unsubordinated  obligations  of the  issuer  and  are  unconditionally  and
     irrevocably  guaranteed  by the Company.  The bonds bear  interest at a per
     annum rate equal to  Deutsche  Mark three month LIBOR plus 0.65% and may be
     redeemed  at the option of the  issuer on  January 5, 1997 or any  interest
     payment  date  thereafter  at their  principal  amount plus any accrued but
     unpaid interest.  Unless redeemed earlier, the bonds will mature on January
     5, 2000 and will be repaid at par.

6)   On June 1, 1994,  the Company  issued a Notice of  Redemption  for its $100
     million 6.5% Convertible  Subordinated Debentures with a scheduled maturity
     in 2004.  Prior to the July 27, 1994  redemption  date,  debenture  holders
     elected to convert all of their outstanding debentures into common stock of
     the Company at a conversion price of $28.00 per common share.

7)   Effective  January 1, 1994, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement
     of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 112  "Employers'  Accounting  for
     Postemployment  Benefits"  ("SFAS 112"). The cumulative after tax effect of
     the adoption of this Statement decreased net income by $28,009,000.

8)   Effective  January 1, 1996 the  Company is  required  to adopt SFAS No. 121
     "Accounting  for the  Impairment  of Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived
     Assets to Be Disposed Of" ("SFAS No. 121"). The Company  estimates that the
     adoption of SFAS No. 121 will not have a material  effect on the results of
     operations or the financial position of the Company.

             Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

Second Quarter 1995 Compared to Second Quarter 1994

     Consolidated  worldwide  revenues from commission and fee income  increased
23.7% from  $425,198,000  in the second quarter of 1994 to  $526,039,000  in the
second quarter of 1995.  Consolidated  domestic  revenues  increased  16.5% from
$209,096,000  in  1994  to  $243,591,000  in  1995.  Consolidated  international
revenues  increased  30.7% from  $216,102,000  in 1994 to  $282,448,000 in 1995.
Absent the effect of the net acquisitions of subsidiary  companies and movements
in international currency exchange rates,  consolidated worldwide revenues would
have  increased  14.2% in the  second  quarter of 1995 as  compared  to the same
period in 1994.

     Operating  expenses  increased  23.6%  in the  second  quarter  of  1995 as
compared  to the  second  quarter  of  1994.  Excluding  the  effect  of the net
acquisition  activity and movements in  international  currency  exchange  rates
mentioned  above,  operating  expenses  increased  14.7% over 1994 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 were 84.6% in the second quarter of 1995 as
compared to 84.7% in the second quarter of 1994.

     Net interest expense decreased by $262,000 in the second quarter of 1995 as
compared  to the same  period in 1994.  This  decrease  reflects  lower  average
interest rates on  borrowings,  primarily due to the conversion of the Company's
6.5% Convertible Subordinated Debentures in July 1994.

     Pretax profit margin was 14.1% in the second quarter of 1995 as compared to
13.7% in the same period in 1994.  Operating margin, which excludes interest and
dividend income and interest expense, was 15.4% in the second quarter of 1995 as
compared to 15.3% in the same period in 1994.

     The  effective  income tax rate was 40.2% in the second  quarter of 1995 as
compared to 40.9% in the second quarter of 1994. The decrease primarily reflects
a lower international effective tax rate caused by fewer international operating
losses with no associated tax benefit and tax planning strategies implemented in
certain non-U.S.countries.

     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.
The increase in minority  interest  expense is primarily due to greater earnings
by companies  where minority  interests  exist;  additional  minority  interests

resulting  from  acquisitions;  and the  acquisition  of a majority  interest in
several companies which were previously less than 50% owned.

     Net income  increased 25.8% to $42,147,000 in the second quarter of 1995 as
compared to  $33,498,000  in the same  period in 1994.  Absent the effect of net
acquisitions and movements in international  currency exchange rates, net income
increased  18.0% in the second quarter of 1995 as compared to the second quarter
of 1994.

Six Months 1995 Compared to Six Months 1994

     Consolidated  worldwide  commission  and fee  income  increased  23.0% from
$801,736,000  in the first six months of 1994 to  $985,921,000  in the first six
months of 1995.  Consolidated domestic commission and fee income increased 15.2%
from  $406,038,000  in the first six months of 1994 to  $467,930,000 in the same
period in 1995. Consolidated  international  commission and fee income increased
30.9% from  $395,698,000  in the first six months of 1994 to $517,991,000 in the
same period in 1995.  Absent the effect of movements in  international  currency
exchange rates and net  acquisitions of subsidiary  companies made subsequent to
the second  quarter of 1994,  consolidated  worldwide  commission and fee income
would have increased  12.7% in the first six months of 1995 versus the first six
months of 1994.

     Operating  expenses  increased  by 22.7% in the first six months of 1995 as
compared  to the same  period in 1994.  Excluding  the  effect of  movements  in
international  currency exchange rates and net acquisition  activity,  operating
expenses would have increased 13.5% over 1994 levels. This increase occurred for
reasons discussed in the second quarter narrative above.

     Net interest  expense in the first six months of 1995 was comparable to the
same period in 1994.

     Pretax profit margin for the first six months of 1995 was 11.7% as compared
to 11.2% in the same period in 1994.  Operating  profit  margin,  which excludes
interest and dividend  income and interest  expense,  was 13.0% in the first six
months of 1995 as compared to 12.8% in the same period in 1994.

     The effective  income tax rate was 40.2% in the first six months of 1995 as
compared  to 41.2% in the  first  six  months of 1994.  The  decrease  primarily
reflects a lower international  effective tax rate caused by fewer international
operating  losses with no  associated  tax benefit and tax  planning  strategies
implemented in certain non-U.S.countries.

     Both equity in  affiliates  and  minority  interests  increased  during the
period.  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.
The increase in minority  interest  expense is primarily due to greater earnings
by companies  where minority  interests  exist;  additional  minority  interests
resulting  from  acquisitions;  and the  acquisition  of a majority  interest in
several companies which were previously less than 50% owned.

     Net income  increased  26.5% to $66,289,000 in the first six months of 1995
as compared to $52,418,000, before a change in accounting principle, in the same
period  in  1994.  Absent  the  effect  of net  acquisitions  and  movements  in
international  currency exchange rates, net income would have increased 12.9% in
the first six months of 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

     Cash and cash  equivalents at June 30, 1995 decreased to $207,877,000  from
$228,251,000  at  December  31,  1994.  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 recurring seasonal industry patterns.

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

     The   relationship   between  payables  to  the  media  and  suppliers  and
receivables  from  clients,  at June 30, 1995,  compares  favorably to customary
industry practices.

     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 June 30, 1995,  the Company had  $459,581,000  in
committed  lines  of  credit,  comprised  of  a  $250,000,000  revolving  credit
agreement expiring June 30, 1997, and $209,581,000 in unsecured  committed lines
of credit,  principally  outside of the United States.  Of the  $459,581,000  in
committed lines, $235,496,000 remained available at June 30, 1995.

     Management  believes the aggregate lines of credit available to the Company
are adequate to support its short term cash requirements for dividends,  capital
expenditures,  repayment of debt and maintenance of working capital. The Company
anticipates  that future cash flows from  operations  plus funds available under
existing  line of credit  facilities  will be  adequate to support the long term
cash requirements as presently contemplated.

     On January 4, 1995,  an  indirect  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of the Company
issued Deutsche Mark 200 million Floating Rate Bonds (approximately $130 million
at the  January 4, 1995  exchange  rate),  due  January 5, 2000.  The bonds bear

interest  at a per annum rate equal to  Deutsche  Mark  three  month  LIBOR plus
0.65%.  The Company has no present  plans to  introduce  incremental  additional
issues of long term debt.
