              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)        On August 31, 1995, the Company completed the acquisitions of Ross Roy
     Communications and Chiat/Day Holdings. The Company issued 859,634 shares of
     its common stock for all the outstanding shares of Ross Roy Communications.
     The Company issued  418,689  shares of its common stock in connection  with
     the combination of Chiat/Day Holdings. 

          Both  transactions  were accounted for under the  pooling-of-interests
     method of accounting.  Accordingly, the Company's financial statements have
     been restated to include the operating  results of Ross Roy  Communications
     and Chiat/Day Holdings for all periods presented.

     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  annual report on

          For  purposes of  computing  fully  diluted  earnings per share on net
     income for the three  months ended  September  30, 1995 and 1994 and on net
     income and the cumulative effect of the change in accounting  principle for
     the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1994,  the  Company's  Convertible
     Subordinated  Debentures  were not reflected in the  computations  as their
     inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

6)        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.

7)        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.

8)        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.

9)        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
Third Quarter 1995 Compared to Third Quarter 1994

     Consolidated  worldwide  revenues from commission and fee income  increased
17.8% from $456.4  million in the third quarter of 1994 to $537.7 million in the
third  quarter of 1995.  Consolidated  domestic  revenues  increased  13.7% from
$239.5  million in 1994 to $272.3  million in 1995.  Consolidated  international
revenues  increased 22.4% from $216.9 million in 1994 to $265.4 million in 1995.
Absent the effect of the net acquisitions of subsidiary  companies and movements
in  international  currency  exchange  rates,  consolidated  worldwide  revenues
increased  13.7% in the third  quarter of 1995 as compared to the same period in
1994.

     Operating expenses increased 17.2% in the third quarter of 1995 as compared
to the third  quarter  of 1994.  Excluding  the  effect  of the net  acquisition
activity and movements in international currency exchange rates mentioned above,
operating  expenses  increased  12.7% 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 91.5% in the third  quarter of 1995 as  compared to 91.9% in the third
quarter of 1994.

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

     Net interest expense increased by $1.3 million in the third quarter of 1995
as compared to the same period in 1994.  This increase  reflects  higher average
interest rates on borrowings.

     Pretax  profit  margin was 7.2% in the third quarter of 1995 as compared to
6.8% in the same period in 1994.  Operating margin,  which excludes interest and
dividend income and interest  expense,  was 8.5% in the third quarter of 1995 as
compared to 8.1% in the same period in 1994.

     The  effective  income  tax rate was 40.0% in the third  quarter of 1995 as
compared to 41.2% in the third 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 and additional  minority
interests resulting from acquisitions.

                      AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

     Net income increased 26.6% to $23.7 million in the third quarter of 1995 as
compared to $18.7  million in the same period in 1994.  Absent the effect of net
acquisitions and movements in international  currency exchange rates, net income
increased 32.5% in the third quarter of 1995 as compared to the third quarter of
1994.

Nine Months 1995 Compared to Nine Months 1994

     Consolidated  worldwide  commission  and fee  income  increased  20.6% from
$1,332.4  million in the first nine  months of 1994 to  $1,607.0  million in the
first  nine  months of 1995.  Consolidated  domestic  commission  and fee income
increased  14.4% from $709.6  million in the first nine months of 1994 to $812.1
million in the same period in 1995.  Consolidated  international  commission and
fee income  increased 27.6% from $622.8 million in the first nine months of 1994
to $794.9 million 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 third quarter of 1994,  consolidated  worldwide
commission  and fee  income  increased  13.0% in the first  nine  months of 1995
versus the first nine months of 1994.

     Operating  expenses  increased by 19.9% in the first nine 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

                      AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

expenses  increased 12.6% over 1994 levels.  This increase  occurred for reasons
discussed in the third quarter narrative above.

     Net  interest  expense in the first nine months of 1995  increased  by $2.8
million as compared  to the same  period in 1994.  This  increase  occurred  for
reasons discussed in the third quarter narrative above.

     Pretax  profit  margin  for the  first  nine  months  of 1995 was  10.0% as
compared  to 9.3% in the same period in 1994.  Operating  profit  margin,  which
excludes  interest and dividend  income and interest  expense,  was 11.4% in the
first nine months of 1995 as compared to 10.9% in the same period in 1994.

     The effective income tax rate was 40.5% in the first nine months of 1995 as
compared  to 41.2% in the first  nine  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

                      AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

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 $92.4  million in the first nine  months of
1995 as compared to $73.1 million  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 increased 19.3% in the first
nine months of 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

     Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 1995 decreased to $233.3 million
from $241.8 million at December 31, 1994. The  relationship  between payables to
the media and suppliers and receivables from clients,  at September 30, 1995, is
consistent with other companies in the industry.

     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 September 30, 1995, the Company had $441.9 million
in committed  lines of credit,  comprised of a $250.0 million  revolving  credit
agreement  expiring  June 30, 1997,  and $191.9  million in unsecured  committed
lines of credit, principally outside of the United States. Of the $441.9 million

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

in committed lines, $168.2 million remained available at September 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.
