                   POLICY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS CORPORATION

                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              March 31, 1993
                                (Unaudited)
 
NOTE 1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation
     The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the
basis of generally accepted accounting principles and include the
accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are
wholly-owned.  All material intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated.  Certain amounts previously presented in the
consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been
reclassified to conform to current classifications.

     The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1992 has
been audited and is restated herein.  The consolidated statements
of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31,
1993 and 1992 have been restated by the Company, without audit, to
conform to the adjustments to the Company's retained earnings as of
December 31, 1992, as discussed in Note 2.  These adjustments
include all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary to state fairly the results for the period presented.


NOTE 2.  RESTATEMENT OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     In August 1993, the Company engaged independent accountants to
conduct a special audit of the Company's balance sheet as of
December 31, 1992 and its consolidated financial statements as of
and for the six months ended June 30, 1993.  As a result of this
audit, the Company determined that retained earnings previously
reported as of December 31, 1992 required adjustment.  These
adjustments were due to errors in the application of accounting
principles and subsequent discovery of facts existing at February
26, 1993, the date of the predecessor auditor's report (see Note 2
of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993).

     In February 1994, the Company engaged independent accountants
to audit the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and
for the twelve months ended December 31, 1993 and 1992.

     As a result of the audit of the Company's consolidated
financial statements as of and for the twelve months ended December
31, 1993 and 1992, the Company determined the specific period or
periods affected by the above adjustments.  The components (net of 

PAGE <7>

related tax effects) of the adjustment to previously reported net
income for the three months ended March 31, 1993 and 1992, are as
follows:
                                              Increase (Decrease)

                                                 (In Thousands)

  timing of revenue recognition................ $3,190   $ 233

  of certain software costs....................    335     471
Recognition of expenses due to changes in 
  timing of expense accrual....................   (738)   (867)
Reserve for losses on certain 
  services contracts...........................  1,057    (210)
Reduction of current income tax liability due
  to previously unrecorded tax credits.........    -       498
Net income adjustment for the three months
  ended March 31, 1993 and 1992................ $3,844   $ 125

     After giving effect to these adjustments, the principle
elements of the Company's consolidated statements of income for the
three months ended March 31, 1993 and 1992, were restated as
follows:
                                    Three Months Ended

18, 1992 and July 8, 1993, the plaintiffs allege that the Company
failed to prepare its financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and omitted to disclose
certain information regarding, among other things, its business and
prospects in violation of the Federal securities laws, the South
Carolina Code and common law. The Company believes it has
meritorious defenses to the claims and is vigorously defending the
litigation.  The plaintiffs seek unspecified compensatory damages,
legal fees and litigation costs. The Company is unable to predict
the outcome or the potential financial impact of this litigation.
 
     In June 1993, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
commenced a formal investigation into possible violations of the
Federal securities laws in connection with the Company's public
reports and financial statements, as well as trading in the
Company's securities.  The SEC has issued a formal order of
investigation which provides the SEC staff with the power to
subpoena documents and to compel testimony in connection with their
investigation. The Company is cooperating with the SEC in
connection with the investigation.


NOTE 4.   CHANGES IN ESTIMATED USEFUL LIVES

     For all years through December 31, 1992, the Company had
amortized goodwill over an estimated useful life of 25 years.  As
a result of its most recent evaluation, the Company has revised its
estimates of the period of future benefit for goodwill. 
Consequently, effective January 1, 1993, the Company began to
amortize goodwill over an estimated life of 15 years for goodwill
related to information and computer services company acquisitions
and 10 years for goodwill related to software company acquisitions. 
The Company believes these new lives more appropriately reflect the
current economic circumstances for such businesses and the related
period of future benefit.  Longer lives will be used for future
business acquisitions only where independent third party studies
support such lives.  The effect of this change in accounting
estimate was to increase amortization expense by $970,000 ($.03 per

PAGE <9>

share) during the three months ended March 31, 1993.

     For all years through December 31, 1992, the Company amortized
internally developed software on a straight-line basis over an
estimated useful life of four years.  The Company's recent
experience indicates that an estimated useful life of five years
would more appropriately reflect the actual useful life of such
software.  Accordingly, commencing January 1, 1993, the Company
began to amortize such software on a straight-line basis over five
years.  Amortization charged to expense was $5,126,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1993.  As a result of this change in
estimated life,  amortization expense was $441,000 ($.01 per share)
less than it would have been using the previous four-year life for
the three months ended March 31, 1993.


NOTE 5.  STOCK REPURCHASE

     On April 7 and 8, 1993 the Company repurchased, on the open
market, all of the 970,668 shares of the Company's common stock
authorized under a previously approved stock repurchase program for
a total consideration of $48,660,000.

                 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 
               FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1992 has
been audited and is restated herein.  The consolidated statements
of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31,
1993 and 1992 have been restated by the Company, without audit, to
conform to the adjustments to the Company's retained earnings as of
December 31, 1992, as discussed in Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.  These adjustments include all adjustments
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to state fairly
the results for the period presented.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
     The $7.5 million decrease in cash and equivalents and current
marketable securities between December 31, 1992 and March 31, 1993
was primarily attributable to the following significant
nonrecurring expenditures:  business and software product
acquisitions, including debt and contingent payments relating to
business acquisitions, ($8.2 million); acquisition of data
processing and communications equipment, support software and
office furniture, fixtures and equipment used in the Company's
operations ($23.4 million); and payments for construction of
additional office and dining facilities at the Company's corporate
headquarters in Columbia, South Carolina ($.9 million).

     Significant nonrecurring expenditures anticipated for the
remainder of 1993 are as follows:  acquisition of data processing
and communications equipment, support software and office
furniture, fixtures and equipment ($8.5 million); acquisition of
software products and debt payments relating to past business
acquisitions ($6.7 million); and completion of construction of
additional dining facilities at the Company's corporate
headquarters ($1.2 million).  The Company believes that current
cash and investment reserves and cash to be provided by operations
will be sufficient to satisfy its existing and presently
anticipated operating and capital resource needs.

Results of Operations
     Set forth below are certain operating items expressed as
a percentage of revenues and the percent increase (decrease) for
those items between the periods presented:

Net income..............  11.4     11.8         ( 1.6)

     The increase in total revenues for the first quarter of 1993
over the corresponding quarter of 1992 of 1.5% was significantly
less than the Company's normal growth trend.  This was primarily
attributable to revenues from both new business, systems licensing
and services, and project implementation services from existing
customers being lower than projected for the 1993 first quarter,
with the sharpest deviation from planned results occurring in the
health component of the Company's business.  The Company expects
uncertainty surrounding health care reform and difficult industry
conditions to continue to adversely impact its financial results. 

     Revenues from systems licensing were $19.9 and $17.8 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively,
representing 16.7% and 15.1% of total revenues.  The increase
between 1993 and 1992 results primarily from an increase in initial
license revenues of $1.2 million and a $.8 million increase in
revenues from continuing monthly license charges for maintenance,
enhancements and services availability ("MESA") and for continuing
right-to-use licenses.

     Total services revenues for the three months ended March 31,
1993 decreased $.3 million (.3%) compared to the corresponding
period in 1992.

     Revenues from professional and outsourcing services decreased
$9.7 million (15.5%) to $52.5 million for the first quarter in 1993
from $62.1 million for the corresponding quarter in 1992, due
primarily to a reduction in professional services provided by the
Company's health insurance systems business and total policy
management services, principally related to the New Jersey Market
Transition Facility (MTF) project.

     Revenues from information services were $42.9 million for the
first quarter in 1993 compared with $37.3 million for the
corresponding quarter in 1992.  This $5.6 million increase (14.9%)
is primarily attributable to an increase in business associated
with automobile property and casualty information services and life
information services.

PAGE <12>

     The operating margin for the three months ended March 31, 1993
was 12.8%, compared to 15.1% for the corresponding period in 1992. 
The decline in the operating margin was primarily attributable to
lower than projected revenues as explained above.  Employee
compensation and benefits decreased slightly as a result of a
reduction in the number of employees in certain areas of the
Company's operations and a decrease in performance bonus expense. 
The increase in information services and data acquisition costs 
resulted primarily from an increase in the volume of state fees for
motor vehicle reports, relating to new business and normal growth
in the property and casualty information services business.

     Other income and expenses for the three months ended March 31,
1993 and 1992 include a gain on the sale of marketable securities
of $2.9 and $.2 million, respectively.

     The effective income tax rate (income taxes expressed as a
percentage of pre-tax income) was 35.9% and 32.5% for the three
months ended March 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.  The increase
in the effective rate between the periods was due primarily to an
increase in amortization of goodwill relating to business
acquisitions, which is not deductible for income tax purposes.
