       THE INTERPUBLIC GROUP OF COMPANIES, INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                           

1. Consolidated Financial Statements

(a) In the opinion of management, the consolidated balance sheet as of
    September 30, 1995, the consolidated income statements for the three
    months and nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 and the
    consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended
    September 30, 1995 and 1994, contain all adjustments (which include
    only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
    financial position, results of operations and cash flows at September
    30, 1995 and for all periods presented.

    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's") December 31,
    1994 annual report to stockholders.  

(b) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 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
    $39.7 million and $52.7 million in the first nine months of 1995 and
    1994, respectively.  Interest payments during the first nine months of
    1995 were approximately $18.1 million.  Interest payments during the
    comparable period of 1994 were approximately $14.9 million.


(c) Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted SFAS No. 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 September 30, 1995 deferred compensation and reserve for
    termination allowances includes approximately $41.2 million of
    postemployment benefits.

       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, 1995 was $92.7 million, an increase of
$12.5 million from December 31, 1994.  The ratio of current assets to
current liabilities remained relatively unchanged from December 31, 1994 at
approximately 1.0 to 1.

During 1994, Interpublic Group of Companies, Inc. (the "Company") acquired
Western International Media Corporation and Ammirati & Puris Holding, Inc.

In April 1995, the Company acquired all the assets of Newspaper Services of
America, Inc.  The purchase price was approximately $7 million.

In April 1995, the Company along with the management of Campbell Mithun
Esty (CME) acquired substantially all of the assets of CME.  The purchase
price for Interpublic's share was $20.0 million.  The Company, together
with the management of Campbell Mithun Esty, will operate CME going forward
on a 50/50 basis.

In October 1995, the Company, in a 50/50 joint venture with All American
Communications, Inc., acquired certain assets and liabilities of Mark
Goodson Productions.  The purchase price for Interpublic's fifty (50)
percent share was approximately $25.0 million in shares of the Company's
common stock.

In November 1995, the Company acquired all of the stock of Anderson &
Lembke Inc. for approximately $22.0 million in shares of the Company's
stock. 

Historically, cash flow from operations has been the primary source of
working capital and management believes that it will continue to be in the
future.  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 1995, the Company acquired 1,393,250 shares of its own stock for
approximately $49.8 million for the purpose of fulfilling the Company's
obligations under its various compensation plans.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended September 30, 1995 Compared to Three Months Ended
September 30, 1994
  
Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 1995 increased $48.9
million, or 11.4%, to $476.3 million compared to the same period in 1994. 
Domestic revenue increased $28.4 million or 19.5% from 1994 levels. 
Foreign revenue increased $20.5 million or 7.3% during the third quarter of
1995 compared to 1994.  Other income increased by $3.0 million during the
third quarter of 1995 compared to the same period in 1994.

Operating expenses increased $44.3 million or 11.1% during the three months
ended September 30, 1995 compared to the same period in 1994.  Interest
expense increased 36.3% as compared to the same period in 1994.  

Pretax income increased $4.9 million or 15.1% during the three months ended
September 30, 1995 compared to the same period in 1994.

The increase in total revenue, operating expenses, and pretax income is
primarily due to acquired companies' results of operations.

In the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company recorded restructuring charges
of $48.7 million in connection with the elimination of duplicate facilities
and excess personnel resulting primarily from the merger of Lintas New York
and Ammirati & Puris agencies and certain international offices.  Third
quarter 1995 salary savings realized from the restructuring amounted to
approximately $5.2 million.

Net losses from exchange and translation of foreign currencies for the
three months ended September 30, 1995 were approximately $1.3 million
versus $.4 million for the same period in 1994. 

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 1995 was  
43.0%, as compared to 44.3% in 1994.  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. 
 
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995 Compared to Nine Months Ended
September 30, 1994

Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 increased $145.7
million, or 11.1%, to $1,458.2 million compared to the same period in 1994. 
Domestic revenue increased $56.0 million or 12.0% from 1994 levels. 
Foreign revenue increased $89.7 million or 10.6% during the first nine
months of 1995 compared to 1994.  Other income increased $5.4 million in
the first nine months of 1995 compared to the same period in 1994.

Operating expenses increased $119.5 million or 10.1% during the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 compared to the same period in 1994.  Interest
expense increased 18.8% during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 as
compared to the same nine month period in 1994.

Pretax income increased $27.1 million or 18.3% during the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 compared to the same period in 1994.

The increase in total revenue, operating expenses, and pretax income is
primarily due to acquired companies' results of operations.

In the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company recorded restructuring charges
of $48.7 million in connection with the elimination of duplicate facilities
and excess personnel resulting primarily from the merger of Lintas New York
and Ammirati & Puris agencies and certain international offices.  At
December 31, 1994 the Company's liability related to these restructuring
charges totalled $27.6 million for severance.  The remaining liability at
September 30, 1995 is $4.5 million for severance.  Total salary savings for
the nine months ended September 30, 1995 realized from the restructuring
amounted to approximately $14.1 million.  The Company expects to realize
additional salary savings from restructuring of approximately $4.9 million
during the remainder of 1995.

Net losses from exchange and translation of foreign currencies for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 were approximately $3.4 million versus $9.8
million for the same period in 1994.  

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 was
42.6%, as compared to 43.0% in 1994.  The decrease in the effective tax
rate is mainly due to the geographic mix of earnings.
