       THE 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 September 30, 1994, the
     consolidated income statements for the three months and nine months
     ended September 30, 1994 and 1993 and the consolidated statement of
     cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 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
     September 30, 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
     Interpublic Group of Companies, Inc.'s (the "Company") December 31,
     1993 annual report to stockholders.  The results of operations for the
     period ended September 30, 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 $52.7 million and $48.4 million in the first nine
     months of 1994 and 1993, respectively.  Interest payments during the
     first nine months were approximately $14.9 million and $17.8 million
     in 1994 and 1993, respectively. 

(c)  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.

(d)  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.

       THE INTERPUBLIC GROUP OF COMPANIES, INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
               FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES



Working capital at September 30, 1994 was $129.7 million, a decrease of
$37.4 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 late October of 1994, Interpublic Group of Companies, Inc. (the
"Company") announced the execution of a merger agreement with Western
International Media Corporation.  The closing of the transaction is
expected to take place during the fourth quarter of 1994. 

The Company acquired Ammirati & Puris Holding Inc. effective July 18, 1994. 
The closing of the transaction took place on August 2, 1994 at which time
Interpublic issued 1,092,629 shares of its Common Stock.

The Company sold an interest in Fremantle International in the third
quarter of 1994, in exchange for cash in the amount of $31.5 million and a
minority interest in All American Communications, Inc.

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 first nine months of
1994, the Company acquired 928,489 shares of its own stock for
approximately $29.3 million for the purposes of fulfilling the Company's
obligations under its various compensation plans.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended September 30, 1994 Compared to Three Months Ended
September 30, 1993
  
Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 1994 increased $28.1
million, or  7.0%, to $427.4 million compared to the same period in 1993. 
Domestic revenue increased 3.1% from 1993 levels.  Foreign revenue
increased 9.2% during the third quarter of 1994 compared to 1993.  Other
income increased by $1.4 million during the third quarter of 1994.

Operating expenses increased $23.9 million or 6.3% during the three months
ended September 30, 1994 compared to the same period in 1993.  Interest
expense increased by $3.1 million during the third quarter of 1994, as
compared to the same period in 1993.  

Net losses from exchange and translation of foreign currencies for the
three months ended September 30, 1994 were approximately $.4 million versus
$3.8 million for the same period in 1993.  The decrease in 1994 is
primarily due to decreased translation losses in Brazil.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 1994 was
44.3%, as compared to 43.9% in 1993.  The increase 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. 
 
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1994 Compared to Nine Months Ended
September 30, 1993

Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 increased $64.6
million, or 5.2%, to $1,312.5 million compared to the same period in 1993. 
The U.S. dollar was slightly stronger during 1994 as compared to 1993,
which had a negligible impact on revenue.  Domestic revenue increased 11.3%
from 1993 levels.  Foreign revenue increased 2.0% during the nine months of
1994 compared to 1993.  Other income increased $9.8 million in the nine
months of 1994 mainly due to increased interest income.

Operating expenses increased $71.2 million or 6.4% during the nine months
ended September 30, 1994 compared to the same period in 1993.  Interest
expense increased 11.1% during the nine months ended September 30, 1994 as
compared to the same nine month period in 1993.

Net losses from exchange and translation of foreign currencies for the nine
months ended September 30, 1994 were approximately $9.8 million versus
$10.1 million for the same period in 1993.  The decrease in 1994 is
primarily due to decreased translation losses in Brazil.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 was
43.0%, as compared to 46.0% in 1993.  The decrease in the effective tax
rate is mainly due to the geographic mix of earnings.
