SERVICE CORPORATION INTERNATIONAL
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 1994
and 1993 include the accounts of Service Corporation International and all
majority-owned subsidiaries (The Company) and are unaudited but include all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals and any other
adjustments, which management considers necessary for a fair presentation of
the results for these periods. These financial statements have been prepared
consistent with the accounting policies described in the annual report on Form
10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended
December 31, 1993 and should be read in conjunction therewith. Certain
reclassifications have been made to the prior period to conform to the current
period presentation with no effect on previously reported net income.
2. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
On January 1, 1993 the Company changed its method of accounting for
prearranged funeral sales contracts, trust earnings, sales of cemetery
interment rights and other related products and services and cemetery perpetual
care trust funds. These changes are more fully discussed in Note 2 in the
Company's annual report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1993. The cumulative effect of these changes resulted in an after tax charge
of $2,031,000 or $.03 per share in the first quarter of 1993.
3. ACQUISITIONS
The Company has acquired certain funeral and cemetery operations during each
six month period ended June 30, 1994 and 1993. The consideration for these
acquisitions consisted of cash, common stock of the Company, issued or assumed
debt and the retirement of loans receivable issued by the Company's finance
subsidiary. The excess of purchase price over the fair value of assets
acquired and liabilities assumed is included in names and reputations on the
Consolidated Balance Sheet and will be amortized over a 40 year period. The
operating results of all of these acquisitions have been included since their
respective dates of acquisitions.

Subsequent event
The Company has made an offer to acquire 100% of Great Southern Group PLC,
(GSG) the second largest publicly traded funeral provider in Great Britain for
a total cost of approximately $173,800,000 United States dollars (USD). The
board of directors of GSG has recommended that its shareholders accept the
Company's offer. As of August 10, 1994 the Company owns, or has commitments to
acquire, 77.7% of GSG's common shares and 71.8% of its convertible shares. GSG
owns 157 funeral homes, 13 crematories and two cemeteries and reported revenues
of approximately $50,000,000 (USD) for the year ended December 31, 1993.

4. DEFERRED PREARRANGED FUNERAL CONTRACT REVENUES
Deferred prearranged funeral contract revenues include the contract amount of
all price guaranteed prearranged funeral service contracts as well as the
accrued trust earnings and increasing insurance benefits earned through the
balance sheet date. The Company will continue to defer additional accruals of
trust earnings and insurance benefits as they are earned until the performance
of the funeral service. Upon performance of the funeral service, the Company
will recognize the fixed contract price as well as total accumulated trust
earnings and increasing insurance benefits as funeral service revenues.
The recognition of the June 30, 1994 balance in future funeral revenue is
expected to occur in the following years based on actuarial assumptions as
follows:

5. DEBT
In July 1994, the Company's revolving credit agreements were amended to provide
for borrowings up to $700,000,000 (previously $600,000,000). The 364 day
portion supporting the commercial paper for $450,000,000 expires on July 26,
1995 and contains provisions for renewals. At the end of any term, the
oustanding balance may be converted into a two year term loan. The committed
portion for $250,000,000 expires July 22, 1997. The Company may in July of
each year, commencing in 1995, extend the term of the $250,000,000 agreement
for a year with the consent of all the banks. The interest rates are based
generally on various indices determined by the Company. In addition, the
Company pays a quarterly facility fee ranging from .08% to .125% on the
commitment amount. The terms of the revolving credit agreements include
various convenants which provide, among other things, for the maintenance of a
certain level of consolidated net worth, the maintenance of certain ratios and
restrictions on certain payments. These credit agreements are to be used for
general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, and support for the
Company's selling of commercial paper.
The Company's committed portion of the revolving credit loan agreement
borrowings have been reduced by $169,000,000 since year end to $216,000,000 at
June 30, 1994 with an average interest rate of 4.5%. The credit loan agreement
was also used to support the selling of commercial paper totaling $247,011,000
at June 30, 1994, with an average interest rate of 4.6%. The credit loan
agreement borrowings and the commercial paper are classified as long-term
since it is the Company's intent to renew or refinance with long-term
borrowings.
Through June 30, 1994, the Company has issued $23,624,000 of registered
convertible debentures at an approximate interest rate of 5%. These debentures
have varying conversion prices from $26.17 through $33.84 and were used to fund
acquisitions.
At June 30, 1994, the Company's Canadian subsidiary has borrowed
$4,773,000 (USD) under its separate bank line of credit during 1994 to fund
Canadian acquisitions. During July 1994, the Company's Australian subsidiary
entered into a $7,200,000 (USD) line of credit with an Australian bank.

<PAGE> 10
On August 31, 1993, the Company entered a currency swap agreement with a
bank that hedged the borrowings for the Company's initial investment in its
Australian subsidiary. As part of this agreement, the Company pays the bank a
blended interest rate (6.28% at June 30, 1994) on $110,000,000 Australian
dollars (AUD) and receives a floating interest rate (3.5% at June 30, 1994) on
$73,590,000 USD. This agreement expires December 29, 2000.
On December 31, 1993, effective February 1, 1994, the Company entered into
an interest rate swap agreement with a bank having a notional amount of
$150,000,000 (USD). This interest rate swap was partially unwound by the
Company on May 19, 1994 by paying the bank a fee of $4,693,000. Such fee will
be amortized into income through February 1, 1999. Under this agreement, the
Company pays a floating interest rate (3.375% at June 30, 1994) on $75,000,000
and receives a 5.36% fixed interest rate on $75,000,000. This agreement
terminates February 1, 1999.
On February 17, 1994, effective March 1, 1994, the Company entered a
currency swap agreement with a bank that hedged the borrowings for an
additional Australian acquisition. Under this agreement, the Company pays the
bank a fixed interest rate of 6.61% on $32,715,000 (AUD) and receives a
variable interest rate (4.11% at June 30, 1994) on $23,414,000 (USD). This
agreement expires March 1, 1999.

7. RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES
The ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the six months ended June 30, 1994
was 3.65. For purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges,
earnings consist of income before income taxes, less undistributed income of
equity investees which are less than 50% owned, plus the minority interest of
majority-owned subsidiaries with fixed charges, and plus fixed charges
(excluding capitalized interest and preferred dividends). Fixed charges
consist of interest expense, whether capitalized or expensed, amortization of
debt costs, one-third of rental expense which the Company considers
representative of the interest factor in the rentals and preferred dividends.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994
COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1993
OVERVIEW:
The majority of the Company's funeral homes and cemeteries are managed in
groups called clusters. Clusters are primarily designated in metropolitan
areas to take advantage of operational efficiencies, including the sharing of
operating expenses such as service personnel, vehicles, preparation services,
clerical staff and certain building facility costs. The Company has
approximately 166 clusters which range in size from two operations to 53
operations. There may be more than one cluster in a given metropolitan area,
depending upon the level and degree of shared costs.
The cluster management approach recognizes that, as the Company adds
operations to a geographic area that contains an existing Company presence,
additional economies of scale through cost sharing will be achieved and the
Company will also be in a better position to serve the population that resides
within the area served by the cluster. Funeral service and cemetery operations
primarily depend upon a long-term development of customer relationships and
loyalty. Over time, these client families may relocate within a cluster area
which may justify the relocation or addition of Company locations. The Company
attempts to satisfy this need for convenient locations by either acquiring
existing independent locations within the Company's cluster areas or
constructing satellite funeral homes (sometimes on Company-owned cemeteries)
while still maintaining the sharing of certain expenses within that cluster of
operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
Segment information for the Company's three lines of business are as follows:

</TABLE>
The $31,843,000 increase in revenues at existing clusters was the result
of 5,052 or 6.1% more funeral services performed and a $168 or 4.9 % higher
average sales price. Included in this increase was $21,372,000 in revenues from
locations acquired since the beginning of 1993. It is anticipated that the
Company's revenue growth will primarily be generated from acquired operations
(added to existing clusters and the creation of new clusters) as well as higher
average sales prices.
During the six months ended June 30, 1994, the Company sold $108,749,000
of prearranged funeral services compared to $70,142,000 for the same period in
1993. These prearranged funeral services are deferred and will be reflected in
funeral revenues in the periods that the funeral services are performed. The
current emphasis on sales of prearranged funerals is expected to continue.
Funeral costs were incurred as follows:

</TABLE>
Total funeral gross profit margin increased to 31.3% compared to 30.6%
recorded last year. This gross profit margin improvement was achieved despite
the large number of acquisitions, added to both existing and new clusters, which
have occurred since the beginning of 1993. Typically, acquisitions will
temporarily exhibit slightly lower gross profit margins than the Company's
existing locations. Acquisitions, since the beginning of 1993, accounted for
$15,750,000 of the existing cluster cost increase. The improved gross profit
margin for existing clusters reflects the increased revenues discussed above,
without a corresponding percentage increase in costs at other funeral homes
included in existing clusters. Administrative overhead costs related to funeral
operations decreased to 4.0% of revenues in 1994 compared to 4.3% of revenues in
1993.

</TABLE>
Costs at existing clusters increased $11,575,000 due primarily to an
increase of $6,626,000 from cemeteries acquired since the beginning of 1993.
Costs from other existing cluster cemeteries increased $4,949,000 due to the
costs associated with the increased revenues discussed above. The cemetery
gross margin increase of 32.0% this year compared to 28.7% last year reflects
the strong revenue growth as well as continued cost control, particularly in
selling expenses. Administrative overhead costs have decreased to 5.0% of
revenues this year compared to 5.5% last year.
Financial Services
Financial service revenues and costs have increased as a result of increased
loans outstanding. Improved interest rate spreads have increased the gross
margin percentage to 44.8% this year from 42.0% last year. The average
outstanding loan portfolio during the current year was $246,408,000 with an
average interest rate spread of 3.45% compared to $204,462,000 and 3.21%,
respectively, last year.

<PAGE> 14
Other Income and Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by $5,984,000 or 31.7%. Of the
increase, $3,503,000 is attributable to personnel expenses primarily in the
form of restricted stock costs. Professional fees have increased $2,455,000 in
the current year primarily from legal costs associated with the ongoing
informal Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission) investigation of the
Company (See Item 1. Legal Proceedings in Part II of this report). As a
percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were 4.7% this year
compared to 4.3% last year.
Interest expense, which excludes the amount incurred through financial
service operations, increased $3,568,000 or 12.4% during the current year
primarily due to the issuance of $150,000,000 of 7.875% debentures in February
1993 and increased borrowings under the Company's lines of credit and
commercial paper primarily used to fund the Company's acquisition program..
The $2,021,,000 increase in other income results primarily from the sale of
excess real estate and additional equity income on corporate investments in
1994.
The provision for income taxes has increased to 40.5% from 39.3% last year
primarily due to the August 1993 increase in the federal corporate tax rate.

The gross profit margin at existing clusters declined slightly this year due
to slightly higher (as a percentage of revenues) merchandise and personnel
costs primarily attributable to acquisitions added to the existing clusters
after March 31, 1993. Typically, acquisitions will temporarily exhibit
slightly lower gross profit margins than the Company's existing locations.
These acquisitions accounted for $8,291,000 of the existing cluster cost
increase. Administrative overhead costs related to funeral operations when
expressed as a percentage of revenues showed marked improvement to 3.8% this
year from 4.6% last year. This helped the total funeral gross profit margin
improve to 28.4% from 28.3% last year.

Costs at existing clusters increased $8,319,000 due to an increase of
$3,104,000 in costs from cemeteries acquired after March 31, 1993 and a
increase of $5,215,000 from other existing cluster cemeteries. Lower gross
profit margins for the cemeteries acquired after March 31, 1993 and included in
existing clusters caused the gross profit margin for existing clusters to
remain constant for both quarters. Strong operating results from the Company's
Australian cemeteries (acquired in the third quarters of 1993 and included in
new clusters) and decreased administrative overhead costs helped the total
gross profit margin increase to 30.2% in the current quarter from 28.5% last
year.
Financial Services
Financial service revenues and costs have increased as a result of increased
loans outstanding. Improved interest rate spreads have increased the gross
margin percentage. The average outstanding loan portfolio during the current
quarter was $240,122,000 with an average interest rate spread of 3.48% compared
to $211,266,000 and 3.25%, respectively, last year.

<PAGE> 17
Other Income and Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by $2,373,000 or 26.4%. Of the
increase, $818,000 is attributable to personnel expenses primarily from
incentive compensation and retirement plan accruals. Professional fees have
increased $1,391,000 in the current year due primarily to legal costs
associated with the ongoing informal investigation of the Company by the
Commission (See Item 1. Legal Proceedings in Part II of this report). As a
percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were 4.3% in the
current quarter and 4.1% last year.
Interest expense, which excludes the amount incurred through financial
service operations, increased $2,525,000 or 17.6% during the current quarter
primarily due to increased borrowings under the Company's lines of credit and
commercial paper during the current quarter primarily used to fund the
Company's acquisition program.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AT JUNE 30, 1994:
The Company's acquisition of funeral homes and cemeteries and capital
expenditures, including major improvements to existing properties, continue to
require significant amounts of cash. Funds generated from earnings of existing
funeral and cemetery operations, together with unused lines of credit or other
available borrowings, are expected to be sufficient for the Company to continue
its current acquisition (including the acquisition of GSG discussed in Note 3)
and operating policies. At August 5, 1994, the Company had available
approximately $298,000,000 of borrowing ability under its various credit lines.
In addition to the sources of cash from operations and credit lines, the
Company has 12,149,000 shares of common stock, $70,227,000 of guarantees of
promissory notes and $74,382,000 of convertible debentures registered with the
Commission to be used exclusively for future acquisitions.
Current maturities of long-term debt include $48,660,000 of medium-term
notes that mature in the first half of 1995. The Company's total debt to
capitalization ratio increased slightly to 55.8% from 55.1% at December 31,
1993.
HEDGING TRANSACTIONS (SEE NOTE 5):
The Company has entered into hedging transactions to reduce its exposure to
adverse fluctuations in interest and foreign exchange rates. While the hedging
transactions are subject to risk of loss from change in interest rates and
exchange rates, these losses would generally be offset by gains on the
exposures being hedged. The Company has realized $1,093,000 (USD) losses on
contracts entered into as hedge transactions since the beginning of 1993.
These realized losses were deferred and are being amortized into income over
periods ranging from eight months to five years.
At June 30, 1994, the Company has outstanding foreign currency and interest
rate swaps in the notional amounts of $142,715,000 (AUD) and $75,000,000
(USD). As of June 30, 1994, net unrealized losses before taxes from these
hedging agreements were estimated to be $3,800,000 (USD) (which is the
estimated cost to terminate these hedging agreements). In the opinion of
management, such losses were offset by the increased value of the exposures
being hedged.
OTHER MATTERS:

regarding an informal investigation by the Commission.
