REVENUES
Revenues increased 30.6% from $238.4 million in the second quarter of 1997 to
$311.2 million in the current second quarter and 25.4% from $466.7 million in
the first six months of 1997 to $585.0 million in the comparable current period.
Approximately 65% of the year to date growth resulted from the inclusion of
revenues from the date of purchase of acquired companies and approximately 35%
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 29.4% from $199.7 million in the second quarter of
1997 to $258.4 million in the current second quarter, and 25.0% from $386.3
million in the first six months of 1997 to $482.8 million in the first six
months of 1998. These increases were in line with increases in revenues during
the periods.

OPERATING INCOME
Operating income increased 36.7% from $38.6 million in the second quarter of
1997 to $52.8 million in the current second quarter, and increased 27.1% from
$80.4 million in the first six months of 1997 to $102.2 million in the first six
months of 1998. As a percentage of revenues, operating margins were slightly
higher during both the second quarter and first six months of 1998 when compared
to the comparable prior year periods.

INTEREST EXPENSE - NET
As a result of increased borrowings, interest expense increased $.9 million in
the second quarter of 1998 and $.8 million for the first six months of 1998 when
compared to amounts incurred for the comparable 1997 periods.

INCOME TAX PROVISION 
Income taxes were computed at 41% in both 1998 and 1997. The 41% rate is
expected to apply throughout the current year.

NET INCOME
Net income for the second quarter increased 38% from $20.8 million in 1997 to
$28.7 million in 1998. Net income for the first six months increased 29% from
$43.4 million in 1997 to $55.8 million in 1998. Net income per share-diluted for
the second quarter was $.33 in 1998 compared to $.26 in 1997. Net income per
share-diluted for the first six months of 1998 was $.66 compared to $.55 in the
comparable 1997 period. The increases in net income per share-diluted for the
second quarter and first six months of 1998 over the comparable 1997 periods
amounted to $.07 and $.11, respectively.

YEAR 2000 ISSUES
The Company believes that its plan to address year 2000 issues is proceeding
satisfactorily and continues to expect to incur charges approximating $15
million a year in 1998 and 1999 related to this issue. It is not anticipated
that operating income as a percentage of revenues will be materially impacted by
these charges.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The following table summarizes the Company's primary sources of funds for the
six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997:

</TABLE>

Long-term obligations amounted to $302.2 million at June 30, 1998. The majority
of this debt comprises $106.1 million of senior notes due 1998 to 2005 and
$171.8 million advanced under a $280 million unsecured line of credit and
commercial paper facility expiring May 17, 2000. A facility fee of .1% to .2%
per annum is required on the entire bank line regardless of usage.

The Company has historically applied a significant portion of its cash flow from
operating activities and proceeds of its common stock offerings and long-term
borrowings to acquisitions. 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.
