                      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 March 31, 1994 reported amounts to
     conform them with the March 31, 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 indica-
     tive of annual results.

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 March  31,  1995,  the
     4.5%/6.25% Step-Up Convertible Subordinated Debentures were outstanding. At
     March  31,  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:

Fully diluted EPS computation                       35,783,800        32,817,700

     For purposes of computing  fully  diluted  earnings per share on net income
     and the  cumulative  effect of the change in  accounting  principle for the
     three  months  ended March 31,  1995 and 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.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

First Quarter 1995 Compared to First Quarter 1994:

     Consolidated  worldwide  revenues from commission and fee income  increased
22% to $459,882,000 in the first quarter of 1995 from  $376,538,000 in the first
quarter of 1994. Consolidated domestic revenues increased 14% to $224,340,000 in
1995 from $196,942,000 in 1994.  Consolidated  international  revenues increased
31% to $235,542,000 in 1995 from  $179,596,000 in 1994. Absent the effect of the
net  acquisitions  of subsidiary  companies  and  movements in foreign  currency
exchange  rates,  consolidated  worldwide  revenues  increased  11% in the first
quarter of 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994.

     Operating  expenses  increased 22% in the first quarter of 1995 as compared
to the first  quarter  of 1994.  Excluding  the  effect  of the net  acquisition
activity and  movements in foreign  currency  exchange  rates  mentioned  above,
operating expenses increased 12% 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 89.6% in the first quarter of 1995 and 89.9% in 1994.

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


     Net interest expense is comparable with the first quarter of 1994.

     Pretax  profit  margin was 9.0% in the first quarter of 1995 as compared to
8.4% in the same period in 1994.  Operating margin,  which excludes interest and
dividend income and interest expense,  was 10.4% in the first quarter of 1995 as
compared to 10.1%, in the same period in 1994.

     The  effective  income tax rate was 40.0% in the first  quarter of 1995 and
41.7% in the first quarter of 1994. The decrease reflects a lower  international
effective tax rate primarily caused by fewer international operating losses with
no associated  tax benefit and tax planning  strategies  implemented  in certain
non-U.S. countries.

     Equity in affiliate  income is  comparable  with the first quarter of 1994.
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.

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


     Net income  increased  28% to  $24,142,000  in the first quarter of 1995 as
compared to  $18,920,000,  before the cumulative  effect of the adoption of SFAS
112,  in the first  quarter of 1994.  Absent the effect of net  acquisitions  of
subsidiary  companies  and movements in foreign  currency  exchange  rates,  net
income  increased  7% in the  first  quarter  of 1995 as  compared  to the first
quarter of 1994.

     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, 1995 decreased to $168,391,000  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 normal recurring  seasonal  industry
patterns.  The  relationship  between  payables to the media and  suppliers  and

                 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, 1995, the Company had  $427,688,000  in
committed  lines  of  credit,  comprised  of  a  $250,000,000  revolving  credit
agreement expiring on June 30, 1997, and $177,688,000 in unsecured credit lines,
principally  outside of the United  States.  Of the  $427,688,000  in  committed
lines,  $236,564,000  remained available at March 31, 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  and
maintenance of working capital.

     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.  The Company  anticipates  that future cash flows from
operations  plus  funds  available  under  existing  credit  facilities  will be
adequate to support its long term cash requirements as presently contemplated.
