                        ACXIOM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

          Certain note information has been omitted because it has not
          changed significantly from that reflected in Notes 1 through 15
          of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements filed as a
          part of Item 14 of Registrant's 1995 Annual report on Form 10-K
          as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June
          28, 1995.

          Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements:

          1. On July 14, 1995, the Company purchased the outstanding
             stock of Generator Datamarketing Limited ("Generator").
             Generator is located in Hertfordshire, near London, and
             provides data and database marketing software and
             processing services to its customers.  The purchase price
             was 4,000,000 pounds sterling (approximately $6,460,000).
             The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase, and,
             accordingly, Generator's results of operations are included
             in the consolidated statements of earnings as of the
             purchase date.  The purchase price exceeded the fair value
             of the net assets acquired  by $5,648,000.  The resulting
             excess of cost over net assets acquired is being amortized
             using the straight-line method over its estimated economic
             life of 15 years.

             The pro forma combined results of operations, assuming the
             acquisition occurred at the beginning of each period
             presented, are not materially different than the historical
             results of operations reported.  Generator had revenue of
             $3,122,000 and earnings before income taxes of $215,000 for
             the year ended December 31, 1994.

          2. On August 25, 1995 the Company acquired all of the
             outstanding capital stock of DataQuick Information Systems
             (formerly an "S" Corporation) and DQ Investment Corporation
             (collectively referred to as "DataQuick").  The Company
             exchanged 984,839 shares of its common stock for all of the
             outstanding shares of capital stock of DataQuick.
             Additionally, the Company assumed all of the currently
             outstanding options granted under DataQuick's stock option
             plans, with the result that 808,370 shares of the Company's
             common stock are now subject to issuance upon exercise of
             such options.  The acquisition was in the form of a merger
             of two wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company into each
             of DataQuick Information Systems and DQ Investment
             Corporation and is accounted for as a pooling of interests.

<PAGE>

             DataQuick is headquartered in San Diego, California, and
             provides real property information to support a broad range
             of applications including marketing, appraisal, real
             estate, banking, mortgage and insurance.  This information
             is distributed on-line and via CD-ROM, list services, and
             microfiche.

             The stockholders' equity and operations of DataQuick are
             not material in relation to those of the Company.  As such,
             the Company has recorded the combination by restating
             stockholders' equity as of April 1, 1995, without restating
             prior years' statements of earnings to reflect the pooling
             of interests combination.  DataQuick's net assets as of
             April 1, 1995 totaled $5,773,000.  The statements of
             earnings for the three months and six months ended
             September 30, 1995 include the results of DataQuick for the
             entire period presented.

             For the year ended December 31, 1994, DataQuick had
             revenues and earnings before income taxes of $20,251,000
             and $891,000, respectively.  Included in the current fiscal
             year's results are revenues of $8,048,000 and earnings
             before income taxes of $79,000 for DataQuick for the period
             from April 1, 1995 to August 25, 1995.

          3. On July 25, 1995, a customer of the Company, Highlights for
             Children, Inc. ("Highlights"), filed a demand for
             arbitration with the American Arbitration Association.  The
             demand alleges, among other things, breaches of express
             warranties in connection with a software license agreement
             for the Company's GS/2000 software product.  The demand
             seeks compensatory damages of approximately $22,000,000 and
             punitive damages of $44,000,000, plus attorneys' fees and
             costs.

             The Company believes that the action is substantially
             without merit.  Highlights is and has been using the
             GS/2000 software in the daily operation of its business for
             over two years.  Highlights accepted the software as
             operational as of September 1, 1993 and paid the final
             license fee payment.  Acxiom's software license fee and
             related fees invoiced to Highlights for the GS/2000
             software totaled approximately $2,000,000. The Company
             intends to vigorously defend the arbitration claim.
             Management believes that the ultimate outcome of the
             arbitration case will result in a final settlement,

          Form 10-Q

             if any, which would not be material to the financial 
             statements and which would be substantially lower than
             the amount noted above.

             The Company is involved in various other claims and legal
             actions in the ordinary course of business.  In the opinion
             of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters
             will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
             consolidated financial position or its expected future
             consolidated results of operations.

          4. The Company's unsecured credit agreement providing for
             revolving loans in amounts of up to $30,000,000 which was
             set to expire August 31, 1996, has been extended through
             August 31, 1998.  The Company's other unsecured credit line
             of $1,000,000 has also been renewed and now expires in June
             1996.  At September 30, 1995 there was a balance of
             $12,261,000 outstanding under the Company's revolving
             credit agreement.

                        Condition and Results of Operations

          Results of Operations
          ---------------------
          Consolidated revenue was a record $62,376,000 for the quarter
          ended September 30, 1995, a 30% increase over revenue of
          $47,853,000 for the same quarter a year ago.  The financial
          services segment grew 46% reflecting the continued strong
          activity in credit card marketing.  The direct marketing,
          insurance, and information and communication segments grew 43%,
          30% and 15%, respectively.  The media segment was down 8% from
          the prior year.  The DataQuick and Generator acquisitions added
          revenue of $6,006,000 in the quarter.

          For the six months ended September 30, 1995, consolidated
          revenue was $121,558,000, up 28% from the $94,734,000 reported
          for the same period in the prior year.  The financial services
          segment was responsible for over half of the growth, increasing
          67% from the prior year.  The other segments all reported gains
          with direct marketing, insurance, information and communication
          services, and media up 35%, 11%, 11% and 2%, respectively.
          Year-to-date the DataQuick and Generator acquisitions added
          revenue of $10,798,000.

          Operating costs and expenses for the quarter increased 29% when
          compared to the same quarter last year.  Salaries and benefits
          increased 41% reflecting increased headcount. Computer,
          communications and other equipment costs increased 12%, data
          costs increased 19% and other operating costs and expenses
          increased 41%.  The expense increases are primarily associated
          with the acquisitions noted above.  Excluding the effects of
          the acquisitions, operating expenses increased 15%.  Operating
          costs decreased as a percentage of revenue and as a result,
          operating margins for the quarter were 12% compared to 11% in
          the same quarter a year ago.

          For the six months ended September 30, 1995, operating costs
          and expenses increased 27% when compared with the same period
          the previous year.  Salaries and benefits increased 47%,
          computer, communications and other equipment expenses increased
          15%, data costs increased 5%, and other operating costs
          increased 44%.  Once again, most of the expense increases were
          associated with the acquisitions noted above.  Excluding these
          effects, operating expenses increased 14%.  Operating margins
          for the six months were 11% of revenue compared to 10% for the
          same period in the prior year.

<PAGE>

          Interest expense for the current quarter and the year-to-date
          period are lower than in the prior year, due to lower average
          levels of debt.  Other expense in the first quarter of the
          prior year included $500,000 for the estimated disposal cost of
          certain BSA assets in the United States.

          The Company's effective tax rate was 39% for both the current
          quarter and the six months ended September 30, 1995, unchanged
          from the comparable periods in the prior year.  The effective
          tax rate for the year ended March 31, 1995 was 38%.  The
          Company expects the effective rate for fiscal 1996 to remain in
          the 37-39% range.

          Capital Resources and Liquidity
          -------------------------------


          Working capital at September 30, 1995 was $17,821,000 compared
          to $18,553,000 at March 31, 1995.  At September 30, 1995 the
          Company had available credit lines of $31,000,000 of which
          $12,261,000 was outstanding.  The Company's debt-to-capital
          ratio (capital defined as long-term debt plus stockholders'
          equity) was 21% at September 30, 1995 compared to 16% at March
          31, 1995.  As discussed in footnote 4 to the consolidated
          financial statements, the Company's $30,000,000 revolving
          credit agreement which was set to expire August 31, 1996 has
          been amended to extend through August 31, 1998.

          Cash provided by operating activities was $16,001,000 for the
          six months ended September 30, 1995 compared to $16,368,000 for
          the same period a year earlier.  In the current period,
          $26,515,000 was used by investing activities and $8,985,000 was
          provided by financing activities.  Investing activities
          included capital expenditures of $21,950,000 compared to
          $9,178,000 in the prior period.  Investing activities also
          included $5,914,000 paid for the acquisition of Generator
          Datamarketing Limited ("Generator") which is discussed more
          fully in footnote 1 to the consolidated financial statements.
          Generator's results of operations are included in the Company's
          consolidated results for the second quarter of the current
          fiscal year.  Investing activities in the prior year included
          $5,308,000 collected from the sale of assets, primarily from
          the sale of substantially all of the assets of Acxiom Mailing
          Services.  Financing activities in the current year include the
          effects of cash dividends and common stock transactions made by
          DataQuick Information Systems ("DataQuick") prior to its
          acquisition in a pooling-of-interests transaction on August 25,
          1995.  For a more detailed description of the DataQuick merger
          see footnote 2 to the consolidated financial statements.  The
          statements of earnings and cash flows for the current year
          include the results of DataQuick for the entire periods
          presented.

          The Company has completed and begun to occupy an expansion of
          its Conway, Arkansas data center to accommodate increasing data
          processing requirements.  The cost of the expansion was
          approximately $4,000,000.  The Company is building a new
          100,000 square-foot customer service building on its main
          campus in Conway.  The new facility is projected to cost
          $8,000,000 and will be ready for occupancy in the third quarter
          of fiscal 1996.  Both projects are being funded through current
          operations and existing credit lines.  Management expects total
          capital expenditures for fiscal year 1996 to be approximately
          $35,000,000.

<PAGE>
          On October, 4, 1995, the Company announced a letter of intent
          to form a business alliance with The Polk Company ("Polk").
          The Company will assume management of Polk's data center in
          Taylor, Michigan and a definitive ten-year agreement is
          expected to be completed in November 1995.  A phased program
          will transfer Polk's data center operations to the Company's
          headquarters in Conway, Arkansas.  Management estimates the
          agreement will contribute $12-$16 million in initial annual
          revenues.  The Company and Polk will also explore joint
          ventures in marketing, product development, data acquisition,
          and international sales.  The exact nature of the partnership
          in these areas will be determined by future discussions.

          As discussed in footnote 3 to the consolidated financial
          statements, the Company is involved in an arbitration claim,
          which if resolved against the Company, could result in a
          payment of an amount which could be material to the financial
          statements.  However, management believes the ultimate outcome
          of this case will result in a settlement, if any, which will
          not be material to the financial statements.

          While the Company does not have any other material contractual
          commitments for capital expenditures, additional investments in
          facilities and computer equipment will continue to be necessary
          to support the anticipated growth of the business.  In
          addition, new outsourcing or facilities management contracts
          frequently require substantial up-front capital expenditures in
          order to acquire existing assets.  Management believes that the
          combination of existing working capital, anticipated funds to
          be generated from future operations and the Company's available
          credit lines is sufficient to meet the Company's current
          operating needs as well as to fund the anticipated levels of
          capital expenditures.  If additional funds are required, the
          Company would use existing credit lines to generate cash,
          followed by either additional borrowings to be secured by the
          Company's assets or the issuance of additional equity
          securities in either public or private offerings.  Management
          believes that the Company has significant capacity to raise
          capital which could be used to support future growth.
