                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           September 30, 1992  
                                (Unaudited)

NOTE 1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation
     The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the
basis of generally accepted accounting principles and include the
accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are
wholly-owned.  All material intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated.  Certain amounts previously presented in the
consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been
reclassified to conform to current classifications.

     The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1991, and
the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1992 and 1991 have been
restated by the Company, without audit, to conform to the
adjustments to the Company's retained earnings as of December 31,
1992 and 1991, as discussed in Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.  These adjustments include all adjustments
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to state fairly
the results for the periods presented.


NOTE 2.  RESTATEMENT OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     In August 1993, the Company engaged independent accountants to
conduct a special audit of the Company's balance sheet as of
December 31, 1992 and its consolidated financial statements as of
and for the six months ended June 30, 1993.  As a result of this
audit, the Company determined that retained earnings previously
reported as of December 31, 1992 required adjustment.  These
adjustments were due to errors in the application of accounting
principles and subsequent discovery of facts existing at February
26, 1993, the date of the predecessor auditor's report (see Note 2
of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1992).

     In February 1994, the Company engaged independent accountants
to audit the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and
for the twelve months ended December 31, 1993 and 1992.

     As a result of the audit of the Company's consolidated
financial statements as of and for the twelve months ended December
31, 1992, the Company determined the specific prior period or
periods affected by the adjustments. The components (net of related
tax effects) of the adjustment to previously reported net income
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1992, are as
follows:

     Deferral of revenues due to changes in timing of revenue
recognition includes situations where (i) there were errors in
accounting for contracts under the percentage of completion method;
(ii) there were delays in receiving signed contracts; (iii)
customers prepaid or were billed for services performed in
subsequent periods or where refunds or provisions for credit were
contractually required and (iv) the Company had future delivery
obligations under certain contracts.


NOTE 3.  NET INCOME PER SHARE

     Net income per share is based upon the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding. Outstanding stock options are common
stock equivalents, but are excluded from the computation of net
income per share since their dilutive effect is not material. The
computation of fully diluted net income per share, which is based
upon the weighted average number of common shares plus common stock
equivalents outstanding and the assumed conversion of all
outstanding convertible debt until actually converted in May 1991,
Is as follows:

                                                (Restated)

                                           (In Thousands, Except
                                              Per Share Data)

     income taxes).........................        1,334 
      Adjusted net income..................      $35,209

    common shares outstanding..............       21,103

      (stock options)......................          323
  Convertible debt.........................        1,446
      Fully diluted shares.................       22,872

Fully diluted net income                               
  per share................................      $  1.54

     Had conversion of the convertible debt occurred on January 1,
1991, net income per share would have approximated fully diluted
net income per share for the nine months ended September 30, 1991.

NOTE 4.  MARKETABLE SECURITIES

     Marketable equity securities held for long-term investment are
included in other noncurrent assets at market value of $500,000 at
September 30, 1992 ($1,100,000 at December 31, 1991).  A valuation
reserve has been established for the amount by which the cost of
these securities, $2,010,000 at both September 30, 1992 and
December 31, 1991, exceeds market value and is included in
stockholders' equity.

NOTE 5.  OTHER MATTERS

     The Internal Revenue Service recently completed its normal
examination of the Company's consolidated federal income tax
returns for the years 1985 through 1988 and has proposed certain
adjustments for those years. The Company believes that its judgment
in the areas for which adjustments have been proposed has been
appropriate and is contesting the proposed adjustments.
Additionally, the Company believes that adequate amounts of federal
income tax have been provided in its consolidated financial
statements for these years.

                   POLICY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS CORPORATION

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

     The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1991, and
the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1992 and 1991 have been
restated by the Company, without audit, to conform to the
adjustments to the Company's retained earnings as of December 31,
1992 and 1991, as discussed in Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.  These adjustments include all adjustments
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to state fairly
the results for the periods presented.

Financial Condition
     Cash  and  equivalents  and  current  marketable  securities
increased $32.8 million  between  December 31, 1991 and September
30, 1992.  Significant nonrecurring expenditures  during the nine
months ended September 30, 1992 include  the  following: business
acquisitions, including debt and contingent payments relating to
business acquisitions, ($2.3 million); acquisition of data 
processing and  communications equipment, computer software and
office furniture,  fixtures  and  equipment used in the Company's
operations  ($28.7 million);  and  payments  for  construction  of
additional   office   facilities   at  the  Company's   corporate
headquarters in Columbia, South Carolina, ($8.0 million).

     Significant nonrecurring expenditures anticipated for the
remainder of 1992 are as follows: debt payments relating to past
business acquisitions ($3.6 million); acquisition of data
processing and communications equipment, computer software and 
office furniture, fixtures and equipment ($3.0 million); and
completion of construction of additional office facilities at the
Company's corporate headquarters ($1.0 million). The Company
believes that current cash and investment reserves and cash to be
provided by operations will be sufficient to satisfy its existing
and presently anticipated operating and capital resource needs. 

     Receivables increased as a result of new system licenses, an
increase in services performed for customers and financing of
charges to customers under certain long-term services arrangements.
       
     Other noncurrent assets increased primarily as a result of the
acquisition of computer software for internal use.

Results of Operations
     Set forth below are certain operating items expressed as 
a percentage of revenues and the percent increase for those items
between the periods presented:

Net income..............       34.2                  30.8

Revenues
     Total licensing revenues were $16.3 and $52.0 million for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1992, respectively,
representing 13.1% and 14.3% of total revenues.  Total licensing
revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1992
decreased $1.4 and $1.1 million, respectively, compared to the
corresponding periods in 1991, due primarily to decreases in
initial license revenues of $2.3 and $3.2 million, respectively. 
Revenues from continuing monthly license charges for maintenance,
system enhancements and services availability ("MESA") and for
continuing right-to-use licenses increased $1.3 and $2.1 million,
respectively, for the three and nine months comparison.

     Total services revenues were $107.8 and $310.8 million for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1992, respectively,
representing 86.9% and 85.7% of total revenues, compared to $84.8
and $245.6 million for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1991, respectively, representing 82.8% and 82.2% of total
revenues.  Changes in the total services revenue were affected by
activities in professional outsourcing and information services, as
described below.

     Total revenues from professional and outsourcing services were
$68.1 and $193.4 million for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1992 as compared with $60.3 and $161.8 million,
respectively, for the corresponding periods in 1991.  These
increases are primarily attributable to policy management and
processing services to the New Jersey Market Transition Facility
(MTF) project, facilities management and outsourcing contracts in
Europe and Australia and several new outsourcing contracts in the
United States.

PAGE <12>

     Revenues from information services were $39.5 and $116.9
million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1992 as
compared with $27.4 and $82.1 million for the corresponding periods
in 1991.  These increases are primarily attributable to an increase
in new business associated with automobile property and casualty
information services and life information services.

Costs and Expenses
     Employee compensation and benefits expense increased $3.9
million and $9.3 million for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1992 compared to the corresponding periods in 1991,
primarily as a result of increased costs associated with European
and Australian facilities management and outsourcing contracts.

     Computer and communications expenses increased $3.1 million
and $7.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1992 compared to the corresponding periods in 1991.  These
increases were primarily related to increased costs associated with
policy management and processing services, principally the MTF
project and to European and Australian facilities management and
outsourcing contracts.

     Information services and data acquisition costs increased $4.2
and $11.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1992 compared to the corresponding periods in 1991.  These
increases are due primarily to an increase in the volume of state
fees for motor vehicle reports, related to new business, which is
part of the Company's property and casualty information services
business.

     Other operating costs and expenses for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1992 increased $5.7 and $22.3 million
compared to the corresponding periods in 1991.  These increases
result primarily from increased costs associated with providing
total policy management outsourcing services, principally the New
Jersey MTF, and costs associated with European and Australian
facilities management and outsourcing contracts.

     The increase in investment income, net of interest expense,
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1992 over the
corresponding 1991 periods was primarily attributable to interest
expense of $2.2 million in 1991, relating to $100 million of
convertible debt of the Company which was converted in May 1991,
and a higher level of investable funds throughout 1992. 

     The effective income tax rate (income taxes expressed as a
percentage of pre-tax income) was 32.8% and 34.5% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1992 and 1991, respectively.  The
decrease in the effective rate between the periods was due
primarily to an increase in nontaxable investment income.

10.  MATERIAL CONTRACTS

     A.   Stock Option/Non-Compete Form Agreement for named
          executive officers together with schedule identifying
          particulars for each named executive officer (Filed
          herewith).



PAGE <1>

                                  FORM OF
                EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION/NON-COMPETE AGREEMENT



THIS EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION/NON-COMPETE AGREEMENT ("the Agreement")
is made effective as of July 21, 1992 by and between &NAME&
("EMPLOYEE") and Policy Management Systems Corporation ("PMSC"). 


                         W I T N E S S E T H:


WHEREAS, EMPLOYEE has been employed by PMSC in a position of
significant responsibility and PMSC desires to recognize EMPLOYEE'S
contribution to PMSC by making EMPLOYEE a "Key Employee" as defined
in the Policy Management Systems Corporation 1989 Stock Option Plan
("Plan") and therefor eligible to be granted Options as defined
therein; and

WHEREAS, EMPLOYEE has developed and will continue to develop
intimate knowledge of PMSC's business practices, which, if
exploited by EMPLOYEE in contravention of this Agreement, could
seriously, adversely and irreparably affect the business of PMSC;
and

WHEREAS, EMPLOYEE and PMSC each desire to induce the other to enter
into this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, PMSC would not make EMPLOYEE a Key Employee in the event
that EMPLOYEE refused to agree to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and thus EMPLOYEE would not be eligible to receive
Options under the Plan; 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
promises and covenants of the parties hereto, EMPLOYEE and PMSC
agree as follows:

 1.   Grant.  Effective July 21, 1992, PMSC grants EMPLOYEE
    "non-qualified"
    Options to purchase up to &SHARES& shares of PMSC common stock
    pursuant to the Plan.  Non-qualified options are subject to tax
    upon exercise as set forth in paragraph 5 below.  This grant is
    subject to ratification of an amendment to the Plan by the
    shareholders at their next meeting, currently scheduled for the
    spring of 1993, increasing the number of shares reserved for
    issuance under the Plan.
    
 2.Price and Expiration.  The option price of the shares subject to
these Options is the closing price of the stock on the New York
Stock Exchange on the date of grant, i.e., sixty-nine and
three-eighths dollars ($69.38).  These Options must be exercised
within ten (10) years of the effective date of this Agreement or
they expire.


PAGE <2>

 3.Availability for Exercise.  33 1/3% of the shares subject to the
Options granted will become available for exercise at the end of
each of the three (3) years following the effective date of this
Agreement.  For example ... 33 1/3% of the total number of Options
granted will be available for exercise beginning July 21, 1993; 66
2/3% will be available for exercise beginning July 21, 1994; and
100% will be available for exercise beginning July 21, 1995.  Once
Options become available for exercise, they will remain available
for exercise for so long as EMPLOYEE is employed by the Company
unless they expire.

4.Order of Exercise.  The Options may be exercised without regard to
the order in which these and any other Options were granted and
without regard to any unexpired and unexercised qualified, Incentive
Stock Options ("ISO's") or other non-qualified options.

 5.Tax Liability.  The tax liability which EMPLOYEE may incur
relating to these Options is described below based upon present law
and regulations which are subject to change.  Taxes incurred are:

  + when options are granted - none  

+ when options are exercised - the difference between the fair
market value of the stock at the date of exercise of an Option and
the option price is a capital gain but generally will be treated as
ordinary income during the year the Option is exercised.  Such tax
liability is created at the time EMPLOYEE exercises an Option and
PMSC is required to collect withholding taxes from EMPLOYEE. 
Federal income taxes (computed at a rate of 20% of the above
described difference) and FICA and state income taxes (computed at
the applicable rate of the above described difference) are withheld. 
For example...if the option price is $69.38 and the fair market
value at the date of the exercise is $74.38, the difference is
$5.00, and assuming an applicable FICA rate of 7.65% and state
income tax rate of 7%, along with the 20% federal income tax, the
Company would collect a tax of $1.73 per share from EMPLOYEE.

        + when shares are sold - the difference between the fair
market value at the date of exercise (the $74.38 in the above
example) and the price at which EMPLOYEE sells the stock is treated
the same as above described during the year in which EMPLOYEE sells
the stock purchased by exercise of his or her options.

 6.Exercise and Payment.  Exercises of Options shall only be handled
pursuant to the Instructions set forth on the last page of this
Agreement.  To exercise these Options, EMPLOYEE shall make payment
in full to PMSC for the option price of the shares to be
purchased...plus the combined (federal, FICA and state) tax
liability EMPLOYEE incurs.  Such taxes paid to PMSC will be
forwarded to the Internal Revenue Service and appropriate state tax
commission and credited to EMPLOYEE in the same manner as the
withholding tax on EMPLOYEE's salary.  EMPLOYEE's actual tax will
depend upon the overall tax rate calculated when EMPLOYEE prepares
his or her tax returns.  EMPLOYEE should consult a tax professional
regarding questions about EMPLOYEE's actual tax liability. 

 7.Noncompetition.  In consideration of the Options hereby granted,
EMPLOYEE covenants and agrees that EMPLOYEE shall devote his or her
best efforts to furthering the best interests of PMSC and that for
the one (1) year period from the effective date hereof, and if
EMPLOYEE separates 

PAGE <3>

from employment with PMSC for any reason within said one (1) year
period, then for a one (1) year period from the date of such
separation from employment, EMPLOYEE shall not "Compete" with PMSC. 
The region within which EMPLOYEE agrees not to Compete with PMSC is
the United States, Canada and those countries in which PMSC has
customers or clients as of the date of EMPLOYEE's separation from
employment.  For the purpose of this Agreement, the term "Compete"
shall have its commonly understood meaning which shall include, but
not be limited by, the following items with respect to PMSC's
insurance application software licensing, data processing,
consulting and information services businesses and any other 
businesses carried on by PMSC at the time of EMPLOYEE's separation
from employment:

  (i)  soliciting or accepting as a client or customer any
individual, partnership, corporation, trust or association that was
a client, customer or actively sought after prospective client or
customer of PMSC during the twelve (12) calendar month period
immediately preceding the date of EMPLOYEE's separation from 
employment;

 (ii)  acting as an employee, independent contractor, agent,
representative, consultant, officer, director, or otherwise
affiliated party of any entity or enterprise which is competing with
PMSC in offering similar application software or services to parties
described in (i) above; or

(iii)  participating in any such competing entity or enterprise as
an owner, partner, limited partner, joint venturer, creditor or
stockholder (except as an equity holder holding less than a one
percent (1%) interest).

 8.Non-Hiring.  During EMPLOYEE'S employment with PMSC and for a
period of three (3) years after separation from such employment,
EMPLOYEE agrees that EMPLOYEE shall under no circumstances hire,
attempt to hire or assist or be involved in the hiring of any
employee of PMSC either on EMPLOYEE'S behalf or on behalf of any
other person, entity or enterprise.  Also, for a similar period of
time, EMPLOYEE agrees to not communicate to any such person, entity
or enterprise the names, addresses or any other information
concerning any employee of PMSC or any past, present or prospective
client or customer of PMSC.

 9.Equitable Relief.  EMPLOYEE acknowledges (i) that EMPLOYEE'S
skill, knowledge, ability and expertise in the business described
herein is of a special, unique, unusual, extraordinary, and/or
intellectual character which gives said skill, etc. a peculiar
value; (ii) that PMSC could not reasonably or adequately be
compensated in damages in an action at law for breach of this
Agreement; and (iii) that a breach of any of the provisions
contained in this Agreement could be extremely detrimental to PMSC
and could cause PMSC irreparable injury and damage.  Therefore,
EMPLOYEE agrees that PMSC shall be entitled, in addition to any
other remedies it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, to
preliminary and permanent injunctive and other equitable relief to
prevent or curtail any breach of this Agreement; provided, however,
that no specification in this Agreement of a specific legal or
equitable remedy shall be construed as a waiver of or prohibition
against the pursuing of other legal or equitable remedies in the
event of such a breach. 

PAGE <4>


10.Breach of Agreement.  EMPLOYEE agrees that in the event EMPLOYEE
breaches any provision of this Agreement, PMSC shall be entitled, in
addition to any other remedies it may have under this Agreement, to
offset, to the extent of any liability, loss, damage or injury from
such breach, any payments due to EMPLOYEE pursuant to his or her
employment with PMSC.      

 11.Employment Understanding.  This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement between the parties with regard to the subject matter
hereof, and there are no agreements, understandings, restrictions,
warranties or representations between the parties relating to said
subject matter  other than those set forth or provided for herein or

              INSTRUCTIONS FOR EXERCISE OF PMSC STOCK OPTIONS


Contact Person:  Lynn W. Dillard, Ext. 4303
                  2B1
                  Post Office Box Ten, Columbia, SC 29202



An exercise form must be obtained and properly filled out.  The form
and employee's check for the appropriate exercise price and
withholding taxes (federal and state income taxes and FICA) must be
delivered to the Contact Person.  The Company does not deal with
third parties concerning employee's exercise of his or her stock
options.  If an employee deals with a brokerage firm, a bank or any
other third party, the employee shall be responsible to keep such
party from impacting on the two-party transaction between the
Company and the employee.  This transaction solely consists of
employee bringing Company the exercise form and his or her own check
and after several days the Company giving employee a certificate for
his or her shares of stock.  The Company's stock transfer agent is
located in New York.  If desired, an employee may request and pay
the charges for the certificate to be sent to the Company via
Federal Express.  The certificate will only be issued in the
employee's name.  Employees may only exercise a whole number of
options as PMSC shall not direct the transfer agent to issue
fractional shares.    

As an optionholder, an employee is entitled to request copies of the
Company's Annual and Quarterly Reports.  An employee will not
receive such reports automatically as an optionholder. 
Additionally, reports are available upon request showing a complete
list of employee's options outstanding, options available for
exercise, cost per share, total costs, and expiration dates of
options.  An employee may wish to request these materials or
information before exercising options by calling or writing the
Contact Person.   





THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.
