                          Independent Auditors' Report

The Plan Administrator
Total System Services, Inc. Director
    Stock Purchase Plan:


We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of the Total
System Services, Inc. Director Stock Purchase Plan as of December 31, 1999 and
1998, and the related statements of operations and changes in plan equity for
each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1999. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's administrator. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial condition of the Total System Services,
Inc. Director Stock Purchase Plan as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the
results of its operations and changes in its plan equity for each of the years
in the three-year period ended December 31, 1999 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                        December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997





(1)    Description of the Plan

       The Total System Services, Inc. Director Stock Purchase Plan (Plan) was
       implemented as of October 15, 1987. The Plan is designed to enable
       participating Total System Services, Inc. (TSYS) directors to purchase
       shares of common stock of TSYS at prevailing market prices from
       contributions made by them and TSYS.

       Synovus Service Corp.  serves as the Plan  administrator.  State Street
       Bank and Trust Company serves as the Plan agent, hereafter referred to
       as "Agent."

       Any person who currently serves or in the future is elected to serve as a
       member, advisory member, or emeritus member of the Board of Directors of
       TSYS is eligible to participate in the Plan. Cash contributions by a
       participant cannot exceed $1,000 per calendar quarter. Contributions to
       the Plan are to be made by TSYS in an amount equal to one-half of each
       participant's contribution. Participants are immediately vested in their
       contributions and TSYS' matching contributions.

       The Plan provides, among other things, that all expenses of the Plan and
       its administration shall be paid by TSYS with the exception of brokers'
       fees, commissions, postage and transaction costs which are included in
       the cost of each participant's investment in common stock of TSYS.

       The Plan provides that upon withdrawal from the Plan, each participant
       may elect to receive the shares of TSYS common stock held on his behalf
       by the Agent, together with a check for any fractional share interest and
       any remaining cash balance.

       TSYS expects to maintain the Plan indefinitely, but reserves the right to
       terminate or amend the Plan at any time, provided, however, that no
       termination or amendment shall affect or diminish any participant's right
       to the benefit of contributions made by him or TSYS prior to the date of
       such amendment or termination.

       On April 16, 1998, the TSYS Board of Directors approved a three-for-two
       stock split which was effected on May 8, 1998 in the form of a 50% stock
       dividend to shareholders of record as of April 27, 1998.

       All share and per share data for all periods presented in the
       accompanying financial statements and related notes has been restated to
       reflect the additional shares resulting from these stock splits.


(2)    Summary of Accounting Policies

       The investment in common stock of TSYS is stated at market value. The
       1999 and 1998 market values are based on the closing price at year-end.
       The December 31, 1999 and 1998 market values were $16.31 and $23.50 per
       share, respectively.

                                       4                           (Continued)




                           TOTAL SYSTEM SERVICES, INC.
                          DIRECTOR STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                        December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997

       The realized gain on distributions to participants is determined by
       computing the difference between the average cost per common stock share
       and the market value per share at the date of distribution to the
       participants.

       Contributions by TSYS and participating directors, as well as
       withdrawals, are accounted for on the accrual basis.

       Dividend income is accrued on the date of record.

       The Plan is not qualified under Sections 401(a) or 501(a) of the Internal
       Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Plan does not provide for income
       taxes because any income is taxable to the participants. Participants in
       the Plan must treat as compensation income their pro rata share of
       contributions made to the Plan by TSYS. Cash dividends paid on common
       stock of TSYS purchased under the Plan will be taxable to the
       participants on a pro rata basis for Federal and state income tax
       purposes during the year any such dividend is received by the participant
       or the Plan. Upon disposition of the common stock of TSYS purchased under
       the Plan, participants must treat any gain or loss as long-term or
       short-term capital gain or loss depending upon when such disposition
       occurs.

       The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
       accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
       assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and
       changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
       Actual results could differ from those estimates.
