the Company and its subsidiaries at March 31, 1994 and their results of
operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993.
These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993.

Note 2

      Accumulated depreciation of fixed assets was $26,778,000 and $25,730,000
at March 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993, respectively. The accumulated
amortization of cost assigned to contracts acquired was $231,419,000 and
$218,078,000 at March 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993, respectively.

Note 3

      The Company has a systematic program to repurchase shares of its common
stock to meet the requirements for future issuance of shares upon the exercise
of stock options and warrants. Through March 31, 1994, 2,878,117 shares of
common stock out of a total of 4,000,000 shares which have been authorized, had
been repurchased at a cost of $43,343,000 and all such shares had been reissued
from Treasury upon the exercise of stock options and warrants.

      During the three months ended March 31, 1994, the Company received cash
proceeds of $2,173,000 and extinguished subordinated notes of $13,605,000 upon
the issuance of 693,038 shares to satisfy exercises of stock options and
warrants.

      As of March 31, 1994, 3,706,000 common stock warrants and 2,979,000 stock
options were outstanding at average exercise prices of $30.06 and $26.41,
respectively.

Note 4

      During the three months ended March 31, 1994, the Company acquired Dwight
Asset Management Company in a transaction that is being accounted for as a
purchase. In addition, the Company also acquired Investment Research Company in
a transaction that is being accounted for as a pooling of interests. As this
transaction is not considered material to the Company's Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements, prior year Financial Statements have not been restated.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

      The revenues of UAM's affiliated firms are principally derived from fees
for investment advisory services provided to institutional and other clients.
Investment advisory fees are generally a function of the overall fee rate
charged to each account and the level of assets under management by the
affiliated firms. Assets under management can be affected by client
contributions to new or existing accounts, withdrawals of assets from or
terminations of client accounts and investment performance, which may depend on
general market conditions.

AMORTIZATION OF COST ASSIGNED TO CONTRACTS ACQUIRED AND OPERATING CASH FLOW
(NET INCOME PLUS AMORTIZATION AND DEPRECIATION)

      Cost assigned to contracts acquired, net of accumulated amortization,
represented 67% of the Company's total assets as of March 31, 1994. Amortization
of cost assigned to contracts acquired, which is a non-cash charge, represented
15% of the Company's operating expenses for the three months ended March 31,
1994. Recording the cost assigned to contracts acquired as an asset, with the
resulting amortization as an operating expense, reflects the application of
generally accepted accounting principles to acquisitions by UAM of investment
management firms in transactions accounted for as purchases, where the principal
assets acquired are the contracts which evidence the firms' ongoing
relationships with their clients.

      Although the contracts acquired are typically terminable on 30 days
notice, analyses conducted by independent consultants retained by UAM to assist
the Company in allocating the purchase price among the assets acquired and the
experience of UAM's firms to date have indicated that: 1) contracts are usually
relatively long- lived; 2) the duration of contracts can be reasonably
estimated; and 3) the value of the cost assigned to contracts acquired can be
estimated based on the present value of its projected income stream.

      The cost assigned to contracts acquired is amortized on a straight-line
basis over the estimated weighted average useful life of the contracts of
individual firms acquired. These lives are estimated through statistical
analysis of historical patterns of terminations for each firm and the size and
age of the contracts acquired as of the acquisition date.

      Since actual terminations can differ from the statistical patterns
developed, the Company updates the lifing analyses discussed above based on
terminations subsequent to the acquisition. If the subsequent termination
experience indicates that any of the estimates of the average remaining lives
should be shortened, the remaining cost assigned to contracts acquired will be
amortized over the shorter life commencing in the year in which the new estimate
is determined. The results of the most recent reevaluations of estimated
remaining lives had no material effect on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.

      Cost assigned to contracts acquired is amortized as an operating expense.
It does not, however, require the use of cash and therefore, management believes
that it is important to distinguish this expense from other operating expenses
in order to evaluate the performance of the Company. Amortization of cost
assigned to contracts acquired per share referred to below has been calculated
by dividing total amortization by the same number of shares used in the fully
diluted earnings per share calculation.

      For purposes of this discussion, "Operating Cash Flow" is defined as net
income plus amortization and depreciation, as reflected in the Company's
Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Management uses Operating Cash
Flow not to the exclusion of net income, but rather as an additional important
measure of the Company's performance. The Company changed its definition of
Operating Cash Flow during the first quarter of 1994, to "net income plus
amortization and depreciation" from "Cash flow provided by operations before
working capital changes" which it had previously used. The only difference is
that deferred taxes is now excluded from Operating Cash Flow.

                                OPERATING RESULTS

                        THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1994
                                   COMPARED TO
                        THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1993

      The 1993 results of operations have been restated to reflect the 1993
acquisitions of Heitman Financial Ltd. and Murray Johnstone Limited, which have
been accounted for as pooling of interests transactions.

      Revenues increased 10% to $121,340,000 in the three months ended March 31,
1994, from $110,024,000 for the first quarter of 1993, due to several factors.
The revenues of Pell, Rudman & Co., Inc., acquired March 29, 1993, were included
for the full first quarter of 1994. The revenues of GSB Investment Management,
Inc. and Dwight Asset Management Company acquired December 29, 1993 and January
4, 1994, respectively, have been included since their acquisition dates. In
addition, the revenues of Investment Research Company, acquired February 25,
1994, have been included for the full first quarter of 1994. The portfolio
performance since the first quarter of 1993 also added modestly to assets under
management and higher revenues.

      Compensation and related expenses together with other operating expenses
increased 8% to $78,634,000 from $72,665,000 primarily reflecting the
acquisitions described in the preceding paragraph and higher compensation earned
at existing affiliates. The amortization of cost assigned to contracts acquired
increased 12% to $13,341,000 from $11,941,000 as a result of the purchase
acquisitions discussed above.

      Income before income tax expense increased 24% to $26,148,000 from
$21,150,000, reflecting the net result of the circumstances described above. The
Company's estimated annual effective tax rate is 43%.

      Net income increased 24% to $14,904,000 from $12,028,000 again reflecting
the net result of the circumstances described above. Fully diluted earnings per
share increased 16% to $.50 in 1994 from $.43 in 1993, reflecting the higher net
income, partially offset by the impact of the Company's higher common stock
price on the calculation of earnings per share under the modified treasury stock
method. Amortization of cost assigned to contracts acquired on a per share basis
increased to $.44 from $.42 primarily as a result of the purchase acquisitions
described above.

                  CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

      The Company generated $29,623,000 in Operating Cash Flow (net income plus
amortization and depreciation) in the three months ended March 31, 1994. The
primary use of this Operating Cash Flow was to pay down a portion of the
borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility, to finance the
purchase acquisition made during the current quarter, and to pay dividends to
shareholders. There were $50,500,000 in borrowings outstanding under the
Company's $225,000,000 revolving credit facility at March 31, 1994.

      The Company expects to use Operating Cash Flow together with funds
borrowed from banks under the revolving credit facility referred to above and
other Company securities to 1) fund possible future acquisitions of
institutional investment management firms, 2) pay dividends and 3) repurchase
shares of the Company's common stock. Whether the Company ultimately completes
any such additional acquisitions or the timing of such acquisitions is not
certain.

      Management believes that the Company's existing capital, together with its
Operating Cash Flow and borrowings available under its revolving line of credit,
will provide the Company with sufficient resources to meet its present and
reasonably foreseeable future cash needs.

(1)  The calculations of earnings per share for 1993 have been restated to
     reflect the effect of the 1993 acquisitions of Heitman Financial Ltd. and
     Murray Johnstone Limited, which have been accounted for as pooling of
     interests transactions.

(2)  The proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants in accordance
     with the modified treasury stock method are first used to buy back up to
     20% of the Company's common stock at the average price for the period in
     the primary calculation and at the higher of the average or closing price
     in the fully diluted calculation. Any remaining proceeds are used to retire
     debt, and this adjusts income for interest assumed to be saved net of
     income tax from the use of such proceeds.

(3)  Adjusts shares for stock options and warrants under the modified treasury
     stock method and contingently issuable shares based on the probability of
     issuance, after adjusting for the stock assumed repurchased in accordance
     with (2) above.
