Note 1

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed 
Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of 
normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position 
of the Company and its subsidiaries at September 30, 1997 and their results 
of operations and cash flows for the three- and nine-month periods ended 
September 30, 1997 and 1996.  These Financial Statements should be read in 
conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year 
ended December 31, 1996.

Note 2

     Accumulated depreciation of fixed assets was $47,545,000 and $40,040,000 
at September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.  The accumulated 
amortization of cost assigned to contracts acquired was $545,920,000 and 
$467,571,000 at September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, 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.  During the three-month period ended 
September 30, 1997, the Company repurchased 723,900 shares of its common 
stock at a cost of $19,935,000.  For the nine months ended September 30, 
1997, common stock repurchases totaled 2,038,200 shares at a cost of 
$54,764,000.  During the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 
1997, exercises of warrants and stock options resulted in the Company 
extinguishing subordinated notes, receiving cash proceeds and issuing stock 
as follows:

                                        Three Months            Nine Months

     As of September 30, 1997, the Company held 793,338 treasury shares.  In 
addition, 9,342,000 warrants and 6,980,000 stock options were outstanding at 
weighted average exercise prices of $23.00 and $20.99, respectively.

Note 5

     The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share (FAS 128), which replaces 
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15. FAS 128 requires dual 
presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share.  This standard is 
effective for financial statements for both interim and annual periods ending 
after December 15, 1997.  Although earlier adoption is prohibited, disclosing 
pro forma earnings per share data in the notes to the financial statements is 
permitted.

     Based on the provisions of FAS 128, pro forma earnings per share are set 
forth below:

                               Three Months Ended        Nine Months Ended
                                   September 30,            September 30,

Diluted earnings per share      $.32        $.32         $ .97      $.88

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

     The revenues of UAM's affiliated firms are derived primarily 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.  A minor portion of revenues is generated when firms 
consummate transactions for client portfolios.  Assets under management can 
be affected by the addition of new client accounts or client contributions to 
existing accounts, withdrawals of assets from or terminations of client 
accounts and investment performance, which may depend on general market 
conditions. 

     UAM's assets under management were $206.9 billion as of September 30, 
1997, $14.1 billion higher than the $192.8 billion under management on June 
30, 1997.  The net $14.1 billion increase in assets under management during 
the quarter resulted from market performance of $12.9 billion and acquired 
assets under management of $4.7 billion, partially offset by $3.5 billion in 
negative net client cash flow.

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 approximately 73% of the Company's total assets as of September 
30, 1997.  Amortization of cost assigned to contracts acquired, which is a 
non-cash charge, represented 15% of the Company's operating expenses for both 
the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997. 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.  The principal 
assets acquired are the investment advisory 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 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.

                                      F-5
<PAGE>

     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 and the size and age of the 
contracts acquired as of the acquisition date.

     When actual terminations differ from the statistical patterns developed, 
or upon the occurrence of certain other events, the Company updates the 
lifing analyses discussed above. If the update 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. There has 
been no material effect on the Company's financial position or results of 
operations as a result of these updates.

     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.

                            OPERATING RESULTS
                                             
                  Three Months Ended September 30, 1997
                               compared to
                  Three Months Ended September 30, 1996
                                             
     Revenues increased 10% to $241,710,000 for the three months ended 
September 30, 1997, from $219,618,000 for the third quarter of 1996.  This 
increase is the result of favorable portfolio performance achieved by UAM's 
affiliated firms as well as the impact of acquisitions, partially offset by 
the effect of negative net client cash flow.  The revenues of J.R. Senecal & 
Associates Investment Counsel Corp., Pacific Financial Research, Inc., 
Thomson Horstmann and Bryant, Inc. and Lincluden Management Limited acquired 
January 7, 1997, May 29, 1997, June 6, 1997 and September 4, 1997, 
respectively, have been included since their acquisition dates.

     Compensation and related expenses together with other operating expenses 
increased 12% to $162,860,000 from $145,523,000, primarily reflecting the 
acquisitions described above and higher operating expenses and compensation 
earned by employees of existing affiliated firms in accordance with revenue 
sharing plans.  Amortization of cost assigned to contracts acquired increased 
14% to $27,775,000 from $24,292,000 as a result of the acquisitions discussed 
above.

     Interest expense increased to $11,389,000 from $10,941,000 primarily due 
to the increase in the Company's average debt levels, partially offset by a 
decrease in the Company's average borrowing rates.

     Income before income tax expense increased to $40,693,000 from 
$40,215,000, reflecting the circumstances described above. The Company's 
estimated annual effective tax rate approximated 43% for both of the 
three-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996.

     Net income increased to $23,226,000 from $23,005,000, reflecting the 
factors described above.  Fully diluted earnings per share were $.32 for both 
of the three-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996.  Amortization 
of cost assigned to contracts acquired on a per-share basis was $.38 compared 
to $.34 in the third quarter of 1996 primarily due to the circumstances 
discussed above.

                   Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997
                                compared to
                   Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996
                                             
     Revenues increased 7% to $676,804,000 for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1997, from $634,805,000 for the first nine months of 1996.  
This increase is the result of favorable portfolio performance achieved by 
UAM's affiliated firms as well as the impact of acquisitions, partially 
offset by the effect of negative net client cash flow.  The revenues of OSV 
Partners, J.R. Senecal & Associates Investment Counsel Corp., Pacific 
Financial Research, Inc., Thomson Horstmann and Bryant, Inc., and Lincluden 
Management Limited, acquired April 22, 1996, January 7, 1997, May 29, 1997, 
June 6, 1997 and September 4, 1997, respectively, have been included since 
their acquisition dates.

     Compensation and related expenses together with other operating expenses 
increased 7% to $445,901,000 from $415,384,000, primarily reflecting the 
acquisitions described in the preceding paragraph and higher operating 
expenses and compensation earned at existing affiliates. Amortization of cost 
assigned to contracts acquired increased to $78,349,000 from $77,654,000 as a 
result of the acquisitions discussed above, partially offset by an adjustment 
made during the first quarter of 1996 to the carrying value of a contract 
with an executive at a UAM affiliate who died in March 1996.

     Interest expense decreased from $32,736,000 to $31,530,000 primarily due 
to the decrease in both the Company's average debt levels and interest rates 
charged on borrowings.  

     Income before income tax expense increased 12% to $124,758,000 from 
$111,013,000, reflecting the net result of the circumstances discussed above. 
The Company's estimated annual effective tax rate approximated 43% for both 
of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996.

     Net income increased 13% to $71,311,000 from $63,369,000, reflecting the 
factors described above.  Fully diluted earnings per share increased 9% to 
$.96 from $.88, reflecting higher net income and the effect of the Company's 
common stock repurchased, partially offset by the impact of the issuance of 
shares of common stock, the Company's higher common stock price and the 
hypothetical exercise of warrants and stock options 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 was $1.06 compared 
to $1.07 for the first nine months of 1996, primarily as a result of the 
acquisitions described above.

        CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION; LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company generated $54,214,000 and $158,760,000 in Operating Cash 
Flow (net income plus amortization and depreciation) for the three- and 
nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997.  The primary use of this 
Operating Cash Flow was to fund the costs of acquisitions, to repurchase 
shares of the Company's common stock and to pay dividends to shareholders. 
The Company invests its excess cash in deposits with major banks, money 
market funds or in securities, principally commercial paper of companies with 
strong credit ratings in diversified industries.  As of September 30, 1997, 
the Company had $25,500,000 of borrowings outstanding under its $500,000,000 
Reducing Revolving Credit Agreement.

     Management believes that the Company's existing capital, together with 
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.  Management expects 
that the principal need for financial resources will be to acquire additional 
investment management firms, to fund commitments due or potentially due to 
former owners of affiliated firms, to pay shareholder dividends, and to 
repurchase shares of the Company's common stock.

                         UNITED ASSET MANAGEMENT CORPORATION
                              DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
                                           
                                   FIRST AMENDMENT


    WHEREAS, United Asset Management Corporation (hereinafter referred to as
the "Company") adopted the United Asset Management Corporation Deferred
Compensation Plan (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan") effective as of
January 1, 1994 to provide retirement benefits for certain employees of the
Company; and

    WHEREAS, in accordance with Section 10 of the Plan, the Company wishes to
amend the Plan;

    NOW, THEREFORE, the Plan is hereby amended effective as of July 1, 1997, as
follows:

1.  In Subsection 8.5 of Section 8, Subparagraph (i) of Paragraph (b) is
amended to read and provide as follows:

(b) Notional Shares Election.

    (i)  The Election.  Each Participant may elect to have all or any portion
of his or her Allocations under the Plan (including all or any portion of his or
her existing Account that was previously invested under the Mutual Fund
Election) be deemed to be invested in Notional Shares.  All such elections shall
be made on a form prescribed by the Retirement Committee and shall be subject to
the following requirements and restrictions:

    (1)  The election with respect to any Allocations made for a Plan Year
shall be received by the Retirement Committee on or before the second-to-last
day of such Plan Year (or on such earlier business day as the Retirement
Committee may set for any Plan Year if such second-to-last day is not a business
day) for a deemed investment in Notional Shares as of the last business day on
or after the last day of such Plan Year; 

    (2)  The election with respect to any portion of an existing Account
previously invested (or deemed to be invested) under the Mutual Fund Election
shall be effective on the next business day after it is received by the
Retirement Committee; 



<PAGE> 

    (3)  No investment or reinvestment in Notional Shares will be made to the
extent that the Retirement Committee determines that such action would likely
result in more Notional Shares being credited to Accounts under the Plan than
could be paid out as shares of Stock pursuant to paragraph (b) of Subsection
7.2; 

    (4)  To the extent that a Notional Shares Election cannot be carried out
because of clause (3) above or because it is received by the Retirement
Committee after the deadline in clause (1) above, it will be deemed to be a
Mutual Fund Election and the mutual fund or funds chosen for investment of the
Allocation or Account shall be as selected by the Retirement Committee until
such time as the Participant gives effective investment instructions pursuant to
Paragraph (a) of this Subsection 8.5 or clause (2) of this Paragraph (b), as
applicable; and 

    (5)  Once made, investment of an Allocation or reinvestment of any portion
of an existing Account in Notional Shares is irrevocable.

2.  In Subsection 8.5 of Section 8, Subparagraph (ii) of Paragraph (b) is
amended to read and provide as follows:

    (ii) The Investment.  As of the date that any deemed investment in Notional
Shares takes place, the number of Notional Shares credited to the Participant's
Account shall be determined by dividing the amount of the Allocation to be
invested and/or the value of the Account to be reinvested by the closing price
of the Stock on its principal trading exchange as of such date (or on the last
previous day on which a trade occurred if no trade of the Stock occurred on the
relevant date), with any resulting fractional Notional Share rounded up to the
next whole Share.

                   *******************************                   

    Except as specifically amended hereby, the Plan is hereby reaffirmed in all
respects.

    Signed as a sealed Massachusetts instrument effective as of the date stated
above.
