INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To The Plan Administrator and Participants of the
  FFMC Savings Plus Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the FFMC Savings Plus Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31, 1994 and
1993, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for plan
benefits for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as of December
31, 1994 and 1993, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules
of (1) Assets Held for Investment Purposes as of December 31, 1994 and (2)
Reportable Transactions for the year ended December 31, 1994 are presented for
the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements, but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These schedules are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. Such schedules have been subjected to
the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 1994 financial
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects when
considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

FFMC SAVINGS PLUS PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994, 1993, AND 1992
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   PLAN DESCRIPTION

     The FFMC Savings Plus Plan (the "Plan") is a Section 401(k) defined
     contribution plan which provides retirement, disability, termination, and
     death benefits for employees of First Financial Management Corporation and
     subsidiaries ("FFMC"), collectively, the plan sponsor and employer.

     Effective January 1, 1991, the Plan was restated and amended for (i) the
     merger into it of the FFMC Profit Sharing Retirement Plan (the "Profit
     Sharing Feature"), and of various profit sharing and savings plans from
     acquired companies (See Note 3), (ii) the extension of the Plan to cover
     eligible employees of all present and future businesses acquired by FFMC
     which do not have qualified plans or have terminated such plans, and (iii)
     changes dictated by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and subsequent legislation.

     Effective January 1, 1995, the Plan no longer contains a profit
     sharing feature. On this date, profit sharing contributions allocated to
     participants' accounts became fully vested and were transferred to the
     Guaranteed Fund (see Note 5). Contributions by the plan sponsor under the
     Profit Sharing Feature were discretionary and based on the approval of the
     Board of Directors of the plan sponsor. Assets under the Profit Sharing
     Feature were managed by Wachovia Bank of Georgia, N.A. and invested in 
     equity funds, a fixed income fund, and a short-term money market fund. 
     The plan sponsor contributed to the Profit Sharing Feature; however, 
     participants could not direct such contributions to these investment 
     funds. During 1994, the plan sponsor made no contributions to the Profit 
     Sharing Feature.

     The following is a brief description of the more significant features of
     the Plan in effect at December 31, 1994. Participants should refer to the
     Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

    a.   An employee of an employer that has adopted the Plan is eligible to 
         participate in the Plan on the first day of the calendar quarter after
         completing one year of service, working at least 1,000 hours of 
         service within that year, and attaining age 18, provided the employee 
         is not part of a collective bargaining unit.

    b.   Participants can make tax-deferred contributions ranging from 1% to
         10% of compensation, based upon his or her election, subject to
         certain limitations in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code.
         Compensation includes base salary plus any commissions, but does not
         include bonuses or overtime pay.

    c.   The plan sponsor matches 25% (and may match up to an additional 75%)
         of the contribution up to 6% of the participant's compensation. The
         plan sponsor's total match of employee contributions was 50% in 1994,
         50% in 1993, and 25% in 1992.

    d.   A participant may suspend making contributions as of the first day of
         any month. Any suspension of contributions shall be for a period of
         not less than six months. Contributions may be resumed as of the first
         day of any calendar quarter which is at least six months after the
         date a suspension began.

    e.   Prior to 1988, participants were permitted to make after-tax
         contributions to the Plan. A participant may withdraw pre-1988
         after-tax contributions upon request and can also withdraw employee
         pre-tax contributions after attaining age 59 1/2 and under certain 
         circumstances of financial hardship. The plan sponsor's matching
         contribution cannot be withdrawn during employment.

    f.   The normal form of the retirement benefit is a lump sum distribution
         and is paid to the participant or his or her beneficiary if the
         participant retires at age 65 or older, becomes totally disabled, or
         dies during employment.

    g.   If a participant leaves the employment of the plan sponsor, he or she
         is entitled to receive all contributions made by the participant and
         the related investment income on those funds plus a percentage of the
         plan sponsor's matching contribution and the related investment income
         on such contributions as determined by years of employment. Such
         percentage is as follows:

         Upon the employee's termination, the non-vested portion of the plan
         sponsor's 401(k) match is forfeited (and prior to January 1, 1995 the
         non-vested portion of the plan sponsor's profit sharing contribution 
         was forfeited). Forfeitures are used to reduce the plan sponsor 
         contributions in that year.

    h.   Participants may apply for loans from the Plan against the security of
         his or her Plan account subject to certain limitations as set forth in
         the Plan document. 

    i.   Substantially all expenses of the Plan are paid by the plan sponsor.

    j.   Substantially all contributions received are initially deposited into
         a cash clearing account, which for purposes of the Plan's financial
         statements is considered an account of the Fixed Income Fund, and then
         transferred to the appropriate fund for investment. Distributions to
         participants are paid from such clearing account after cash has been
         transferred from the appropriate fund.

    k.   Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, the plan sponsor
         reserves the right to terminate or partially terminate the Plan or to
         permanently discontinue contributions at any time subject to the
         provisions set forth in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
         1974. Upon termination, all participants' accounts would become fully
         vested and nonforfeitable. After payment of expenses of the Plan and
         certain proportional adjustments to participants' accounts, the Plan
         would distribute to each participant, or beneficiary, the amount
         credited to his or her account.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Valuation of Investments - Investments in FFMC common stock, Biltmore
     Equity Management Fund, Biltmore Special Values Fund, and Biltmore Stock
     Index Fund are stated at fair market value based upon published market
     quotations. The carrying value of investments in commingled funds is based
     on the fair market value of the underlying assets. Short-term investments
     are valued at cost, which approximates fair market value.

     Investment Transactions - Purchases and sales of investment securities are
     recorded on their trade date.

     Income Recognition - Income (dividends and interest) on investments is
     recognized when earned.

3.   PLAN MERGERS

     FFMC has completed numerous business acquisitions in recent years and, as
     a result, several profit sharing and savings plans of acquired companies
     have been merged into the Plan. Generally, participants in these plans are
     given full credit for their service with their employers (prior to
     acquisition by FFMC) for purposes of both eligibility and vesting in the
     Plan. In the future, if FFMC acquires other companies with savings plans,
     it is presently intended that those plans will be merged into the Plan,
     although FFMC is not required to do so. The number of plan mergers 
     completed, by year, are as follows:

4.   PLAN DISPOSITIONS

     On November 10, 1992, FFMC completed the sale of First Family Financial
     Services ("First Family"), a regional consumer finance subsidiary. This
     sale resulted in the employees of First Family becoming ineligible for
     participation in the Plan subsequent to December 31, 1992; however, the
     participants were allowed to continue participation from November 10, 1992
     to December 31, 1992. Distributions to such participants were 
     substantially completed by the end of 1993.

     On February 10, 1993, FFMC completed the sale of Basis Information
     Technologies, Inc. ("BASIS"), a wholly owned subsidiary of FFMC. At the
     completion of this sale, BASIS participants were no longer eligible to
     participate in the Plan; however, such participants were allowed to make
     contributions to the Plan through February 15, 1993. Distributions to
     these participants were substantially completed by the end of 1993.

     On June 12, 1993, FFMC completed the sale of Georgia Federal Bank
     ("Georgia Federal"), a wholly owned subsidiary of FFMC. Georgia Federal
     employees were allowed to make contributions to the Plan through May 31,
     1993. Distributions to such participants were substantially completed by 
     the end of 1993.

5.   INVESTMENTS

     The Plan permits participant investment in three funds:

     Balanced Fund - a fund invested primarily in mutual or commingled funds
     invested in corporate common stocks other than FFMC common stock, or
     corporate debt instruments. At December 31, 1994, 4,284 employees
     participated in this fund.

     FFMC Stock Fund - a fund invested primarily in FFMC common stock. At
     December 31, 1994, 6,726 employees participated in this fund.

     Fixed Income Fund - a fund invested primarily in mutual or commingled funds
     invested in fixed income securities. At December 31, 1994, 5,125 employees
     participated in this fund.

     All of the plan sponsor's matching contributions are invested in the FFMC
     Stock Fund. Loans to participants are considered assets of the Fixed
     Income Fund.

     Investments that represent 5% or more of the Plan's net assets at December
     31, 1994 and 1993 include First Financial Management Corporation Common
     Stock, Biltmore Equity Management Fund, Wachovia Diversified Funds - Fixed
     Income Fund, and Signet Trust Valuation Fund - Stable Value Fund I.

     Investments held at year-end are as follows:

6.   INCOME TAX STATUS

     The Plan obtained its latest determination letter prior to its 1988
     amendment and restatement, in which the Internal Revenue Service stated
     that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable
     requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan was amended and 
     restated effective January 1, 1991 and has been amended since then, most
     recently on November 7, 1994. On November 21, 1994, the plan sponsor filed
     an Application for Determination with the Internal Revenue Service with 
     respect to the Plan as amended and restated. Although determination from 
     the Internal Revenue Service has not been received, the plan sponsor 
     believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in 
     compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. 
     Therefore, the plan sponsor believes that the Plan was qualified and the 
     related trust was tax-exempt as of the financial statement date.

7.   DISTRIBUTIONS PAYABLE

     At December 31, 1994 and 1993, distributions requested by participants but
     not paid of approximately $4,203,000 and $2,145,000, respectively, were
     not accrued in the accompanying financial statements in accordance with
     guidelines of the 1994 Audit and Accounting Guide "Audits of Employee
     Benefit Plans."

</TABLE>

     The differences are a result of distributions payable being included as an
     accrued liability as of December 31, 1993 in Form 5500, while they are
     only disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Distributions
     requested by participants but not paid were not required to be accrued as
     distributions payable in Form 5500 as of December 31, 1994. Therefore,
     there were no such differences at that date.

11.  PLAN SPONSOR MERGER

On June 13, 1995, First Data Corporation ("FDC") and FFMC announced an
agreement to merge an FDC subsidiary into FFMC, with FFMC continuing as a
subsidiary of FDC.  Terms of the agreement provide for shareholders of FFMC to
receive 1.5859 FDC common shares for each share of FFMC common stock.  The
merger requires the approval of the shareholders of both companies, as well as
various regulatory agencies.  FDC sponsors a Section 401(k) defined
contribution plan (the "FDC Plan") for the benefit of its employees.  FDC has
agreed to cause FFMC for a year after the merger to keep the FFMC Savings Plus
Plan (and the Western Union Plan referenced below) in effect or to provide
benefits to employees of FFMC and its subsidiaries that are no less favorable
than those provided by FDC and its subsidiaries to their own employees.


During December 1994, FFMC acquired Western Union Financial Services, Inc.
("Western Union").  Western Union maintains a 401(k) plan (the "Western Union
Plan") for the benefit of its nonunion employees.  Previously, FFMC and Western
Union contemplated merging the Western Union Plan into the FFMC Savings Plus
Plan in late 1995.  It is now contemplated that such plan merger will be
deferred, as it may be simpler to merge the Western Union Plan directly into
the FDC Plan.
