4. Accounting for Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (a) temporary differences
between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, and (b) operating and tax
credit carryforwards.  Significant components of the Company's net deferred tax
liability as of September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 are as follows:
                                             September 30,  December 31,

Revenues
Revenues increased 23.2% from $143.7 million in the third quarter of 1994 to
$176.9 million in the current third quarter and 19.9% from $423.3 million in the
first nine months of 1994 to $507.6 million in the comparable current period.
Approximately 60% of the year-to-date growth in revenue resulted from the
inclusion of revenues from the date of purchase of acquired companies and the
remainder from increases in revenue from the addition of new clients, growth in
the transaction volume experienced by existing clients and price increases.

Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues increased 18.9%  from $124.7 million in the third quarter of
1994 to $148.3 million in the current third quarter, and 17.5% from $368.7
million in the first nine months of 1994 to $433.3 million in the first nine
months of 1995.

Operating Income
Operating income increased 51.0% from $19.0 million in the third quarter of 1994
to $28.6 million in the current third quarter, and 36.1% from $54.6 million in
the first nine months of 1994 to $74.3 million in the first nine months of 1995.
As a percentage of revenues, operating margins improved during the third quarter
and first nine months of 1995 when compared to the comparable prior year periods
due primarily to changes in the mix of business, including the impact of
acquisitions referred to in Note 2 above.

Interest Expense - Net
As a result of acquisitions in the last twelve months, which were only partially
funded with common stock,  net interest expense increased $4.6 million in the
third quarter and $7.7 million in the first nine months of 1995 over amounts
incurred for the comparable 1994 periods.

Income Tax Provision
Income taxes were computed at 41% in 1995 and 40% in 1994.  The 41% rate is
expected to apply throughout the current year.

Net Income
Net income grew 27% from $10.3 million in the third quarter of 1994 to $13.1
million in the comparable 1995 quarter and 22% from $29.7 million in the first
nine months of 1994 to $36.3 million in the comparable current period. Net
income per share increased $.04 from $.25 in the third quarter of 1994 to $.29
in the current third quarter and $.11 from $.73 in the first nine months of 1994
to $.84 in the first nine months of 1995.  Net income per share increased $.05
and $.14, respectively, in the third quarter and first nine months of 1995 when
compared with net income per share as originally presented for the comparable
1994 periods.  The increase in net income per share over 1994 as originally
presented was consistent with management expectations and historical growth
rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the nine months ended September 30, 1995, cash increased $53.0 million
comprising primarily $62.7 million net cash provided by operating activities,
$225.1 million net borrowings, $50.7 million decrease in investments and $1.1
million from issuance of common stock, which was partially offset by $253.1
million for the acquisition of businesses and $33.5 million for capital
expenditures.  Long-term obligations amounted to $375.2 million at September 30,
1995. The majority of this debt comprises $126.4 million of senior notes due
1995 to 2001 and $240.5 million advanced under a $300 million unsecured line of
credit and commercial paper facility which reduces $45 million in May 1997 and
in May 1998, $60 million in May 1999 and expires in May 2000.  A facility fee of
0.25% per annum is required on the line.

The Company has historically applied a significant portion of its cash flow from
operating activities and proceeds of its common stock offerings to acquisitions
and the reduction of long-term debt and invests the remainder in short-term
obligations until it is needed for further acquisitions or operating purposes.
The Company believes that its cash flow from operating activities together with
other available sources of funds will be adequate to meet its funding
requirements.  However, in the event that the Company makes significant future
acquisitions, it may raise funds through additional borrowings or issuance of
securities.
