6THE INTERPUBLIC GROUP OF COMPANIES, INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Consolidated Financial Statements
(a) The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1994, the consolidated
statements of income and cash flows for the three months ended March 31,
1994 and 1993, are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary
to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash
flows at March 31, 1994 and for all periods presented have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been omitted. It is suggested that these
consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's December 31, 1993 annual report to stockholders. The results
of operations for the period ended March 31, 1994 are not necessarily
indicative of the operating results for the full year.
(b) FAS No. 95 "Statement of Cash Flows" requires disclosures of specific
cash payments and noncash investing and financing activities. The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents. Income tax cash payments were
approximately $21.1 million and $9.5 million in the first three months
of 1994 and 1993, respectively. Interest payments during the first
three months of 1994 were approximately $5.5 million. Interest payments
in 1993 were not materially different from interest expense.
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted FAS 109 "Accounting for
Income Taxes" and recorded a one-time charge of $512,000. This
statement requires the use of the liability method of accounting for
deferred income taxes.
Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted FAS 112 "Employers'
Accounting for Postemployment Benefits" and recorded a one-time pre-tax
charge of $39.6 million or $21.8 million after-tax. As of March 31,
1994, deferred compensation and reserve for termination allowances
includes approximately $76 million of postemployment benefits.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working capital at March 31, 1994 was $145.9 million, a decrease of $21.3
million from December 31, 1993. The ratio of current assets to current
liabilities remained relatively unchanged from December 31, 1993 at
approximately 1.1 to 1.
In March 1993, the company purchased a building and land in Frankfurt,
Germany to be used by the local office of McCann-Erickson, a subsidiary of
the Company. The purchase price was approximately $41.5 million, of which
$35.2 was financed at a rate of 7.6%, due in 2003.
The principal use of the Company's working capital is to provide for the
operating needs of its advertising agencies, which include payments for space
or time purchased from various media on behalf of its clients. The Company's
practice is to bill and collect from its clients in sufficient time to pay
the amounts due media. Other uses of working capital include the payment of
cash dividends, acquisitions, capital expenditures and the reduction of long-
term debt. In addition, during the three months of 1994, the Company
acquired 351,355 shares of its own stock for approximately $11.1 million for
the purposes of fulfilling the Company's obligations under its various
compensation plans.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended March 31, 1994 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31,
1993
Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1994 increased $26.1
million, or 7.0%, to $404 million compared to the same period in 1993. The
U.S. dollar was considerably stronger during the first quarter of 1994 as
compared to 1993, which had a negative impact on revenue of $6.6 million.
Domestic revenue increased 22.4% from 1993 levels. Foreign revenue decreased
.8% during the first quarter of 1994 compared to 1993. Excluding the
unfavorable foreign exchange effects discussed above, worldwide revenue would
have shown an increase of about $32.7 million or 8.4% over 1993. Other
income increased by $5.1 million during the first quarter of 1994.
Operating expenses increased $29.0 million or 8.0% during the three months
ended March 31, 1994 compared to the same period in 1993. Interest expense
decreased $0.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 1994 as
compared to the same period in 1993.
Net losses from exchange and translation of foreign currencies for the three
months ended March 31, 1994 were approximately $5.6 million versus $3.4
million for the same period in 1993. The increase in 1994 is primarily due
to increased exchange losses in Brazil.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 1994 was 43.0%,
as compared to 47.0% in 1993. The decrease in the effective tax rate is
mainly due to the geographic mix of earnings.
The difference between the effective and statutory rates is primarily due to
foreign losses with no tax benefit, losses from translation of foreign
currencies which provided no tax benefit, state and local taxes, foreign
withholding taxes on dividends and nondeductible goodwill expense.
