PART IV Item 14. Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules, and Reports on Form 8-K............................................. 12 PART I Item 1. Business Omnicom Group Inc., through its wholly and partially-owned companies (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Company" or the "Omnicom Group"), operates advertising agencies which plan, create, produce and place advertising in various media such as television, radio, newspaper and magazines. The Omnicom Group offers its clients such additional services as marketing consultation, consumer market research, design and production of merchandising and sales promotion programs and materials, direct mail advertising, corporate identification, and public relations. The Omnicom Group offers these services to clients worldwide on a local, national, pan-regional or global basis. Operations cover the major regions of North America, the United Kingdom, Continental Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, the Far East and Australia. In 1995 and 1994, 53% and 51%, respectively, of the Omnicom Group's billings came from its non-U.S. operations. According to the unaudited industry-wide figures published in 1995 by the trade journal Advertising Age, Omnicom Group Inc. was ranked as the third largest advertising agency group worldwide. The Omnicom Group operates as three separate, independent agency networks: The BBDO Worldwide Network, the DDB Needham Worldwide Network and the TBWA International Network. The Omnicom Group also operates an independent agency, Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, and certain marketing service and specialty advertising companies through its Diversified Agency Services division ("DAS"). The BBDO Worldwide, DDB Needham Worldwide and TBWA International Networks General BBDO Worldwide, DDB Needham Worldwide and TBWA International, by themselves and through their respective subsidiaries and affiliates, independently operate advertising agency networks worldwide. Their primary business is to create marketing communications for their clients' goods and services across the total spectrum of advertising and promotion media. Each of the agency networks has its own clients and competes with each other in the same markets. The BBDO Worldwide, DDB Needham Worldwide and TBWA International agencies typically assign to each client a group of advertising specialists which may include account managers, copywriters, art directors and research, media and production personnel. The account manager works with the client to establish an overall advertising strategy for the client based on an analysis of the client's products or services and its market. The group then creates and arranges for the production of the advertising and/or promotion and purchases time, space or access in the relevant media in accordance with the client's budget.

In addition, DAS operates internationally with subsidiaries and affiliates in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Singapore, South Africa and Spain. Omnicom Group Inc. As the parent company of BBDO Worldwide, DDB Needham Worldwide, TBWA International, the DAS Group and Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Omnicom Management Inc., provides a common financial and administrative base for the operating groups. The Company oversees 2 the operations of each group through regular meetings with their respective top-level management. The Company sets operational goals for each of the groups and evaluates performance through the review of monthly operational and financial reports. The Company provides its groups with centralized services designed to coordinate financial reporting and controls, real estate planning and to focus corporate development objectives. The Company develops consolidated services for its agencies and their clients. For example, the Company participated in forming The Media Partnership, which consolidates certain media buying activities in Europe in order to obtain cost savings for clients. Clients The clients of the Omnicom Group include major industrial, financial and service industry companies as well as smaller, local clients. Among its largest clients are Anheuser-Busch, Chrysler Corporation, Gillette, GTE, Hasbro, Henkel, McDonald's, Nissan, PepsiCo., Seagrams, Visa and Volkswagen. The Omnicom Group's ten largest clients accounted for approximately 21% of 1995 commissions and fees. The majority of these have been clients for more than ten years. The Omnicom Group's largest client accounted for less than 6% of 1995 commissions and fees. Revenues Commissions charged on media billings represent a significant proportion of revenues for the Omnicom Group. Commission rates are not uniform and are negotiated with the client. In accordance with industry practice, the media source typically bills the agency for the time or space purchased and the Omnicom Group bills its client for this amount plus the commission. The Omnicom Group typically requires that payment for media charges be received from the client before the agency makes payments to the media. In some instances a member of the Omnicom Group, like other advertising agencies, is at risk in the event that its client is unable to pay the media. The Omnicom Group's advertising networks also generate revenues in arranging for the production of advertisements and commercials. Although, as a general matter, the Omnicom Group does not itself produce the advertisements and commercials, the Omnicom Group's creative and production staff directs and supervises the production company. The agency bills the client for production costs plus a commission. In some circumstances, certain production work is done by the Omnicom Group's personnel. In many cases, fees are generated in lieu of commissions. Several different fee arrangements are used depending on client and individual agency needs. In general, fee charges relate to the cost of providing services plus a markup. The DAS companies primarily charge fees for their various specialty services, which vary in type and scale, depending upon the service rendered and the client's requirements. Advertising agency revenues are dependent upon the marketing requirements of clients and tend to be highest in the second and fourth quarters of the fiscal year. Other Information For additional information concerning the contribution of international operations to commissions and fees and net income see Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Omnicom Group is continuously developing new methods of improving its research capabilities, to analyze specific client requirements and to assess the impact of advertising. In the United States, approximately 193 people on the Omnicom Group's staff were employed in research during the year and the Omnicom Group's domestic research expenditures approximated $27,095,000. Substantially all such expenses were incurred in connection with contemporaneous servicing of clients. The advertising business is highly competitive and accounts may shift agencies with comparative ease, usually on 90 days' notice. Clients may also reduce advertising budgets at any time for any reason. An agency's ability to compete for new clients is affected in some instances by the policy, which many advertisers follow, of not permitting their agencies to represent competitive accounts in the same market. As a result, increasing size may limit an agency's potential for securing certain new clients. In the vast majority of cases, however, the separate, independent identities of BBDO Worldwide, DDB Needham Worldwide, TBWA International, the independent agencies within the DAS Group and Goodby, Silverstein & Partners have enabled the Omnicom Group to represent competing clients. 3 BBDO Worldwide, DDB Needham Worldwide, TBWA International, the DAS Group and Goodby, Silverstein & Partners have sought, and as part of the Omnicom Group's operating segments will seek, new business by showing potential clients examples of advertising campaigns produced and by explaining the variety of related services offered. The Omnicom Group competes in the United States and internationally with a multitude of full service and special service agencies. In addition to the usual risks of the advertising agency business, international operations are subject to the risk of currency exchange fluctuations, exchange control restrictions and to actions of governmental authorities. Employees The business success of the Omnicom Group is, and will continue to be, highly dependent upon the skills and creativity of its creative, research, media and account personnel and their relationships with clients. The Company believes its operating groups have established reputations for creativity and marketing expertise which attract, retain and stimulate talented personnel. There is substantial competition among advertising agencies for talented personnel and all agencies are vulnerable to adverse consequences from the loss of key individuals. Employees are generally not under employment contracts and are free to move to competitors of the Omnicom Group. The Company believes that its compensation arrangements for its key employees, which include stock options, restricted stock and retirement plans, are highly competitive with those of other advertising agencies. As of December 31, 1995, the Omnicom Group, excluding unconsolidated companies, employed approximately 19,400 persons, of which approximately 8,500 were employed in the United States and approximately 10,900 were employed in its international offices. Government Regulation The advertising business is subject to government regulation, both within and outside the United States. In the United States, federal, state and local governments and their agencies and various consumer groups have directly or indirectly affected or attempted to affect the scope, content and manner of presentation of advertising. The continued activity by government and by consumer groups regarding advertising may cause further change in domestic advertising practices in the coming years. While the Company is unable to estimate the effect of these developments on its U.S. business, management believes the total volume of advertising in general media in the United States will not be materially reduced due to future legislation or regulation, even though the form, content, and manner of presentation of advertising may be modified. In addition, the Company will continue to ensure that its management and operating personnel are aware of and are responsive to the possible implications of such developments. Item 2. Properties Substantially all of the Company's offices are located in leased premises. The Company actively manages its obligations and, where appropriate, consolidates its leased premises. Management has obtained subleases for most of the premises vacated. Where appropriate, management has established reserves for the difference between the cost of the leased premises that were vacated and anticipated sublease income.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings The Company has no material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to its business. Item 4.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations In 1995, domestic revenues from commissions and fees increased 12.8 percent. The effect of acquisitions, net of divestitures, accounted for a 1.5 percent increase. The remaining 11.3 percent increase was due to net new business gains and higher spending from existing clients. In 1994, domestic revenues from commissions and fees increased 7.0 percent. The effect of acquisitions, net of divestitures, accounted for a 1.2 percent increase. The remaining 5.8 percent increase was due to net new business gains and higher spending from existing clients. In 1993, domestic revenues from commissions and fees increased 5.3 percent. The effect of acquisitions, net of divestitures, accounted for a 3.2 percent increase. The remaining 2.1 percent increase was due to net new business gains and higher spending from existing clients. In 1995, international revenues increased 24.3 percent. The effect of acquisitions, net of divestitures, accounted for a 5.9 percent increase in international revenues. The weakening of the U.S. dollar increased international revenues by 6.7 percent. The remaining 11.7 percent increase was due to net new business gains and higher spending from existing clients. In 1994, international revenues increased 20.2 percent. The effect of acquisitions, net of divestitures, accounted for an 8.5 percent increase in international revenues. The weakening of the U.S. dollar increased international revenues by 2.3 percent. The remaining 9.4 percent increase was due to net new business gains and higher spending from existing clients. 7 In 1993, international revenues increased 5.9 percent. The effect of the acquisition of TBWA International B.V. and several marketing services companies in the United Kingdom, net of divestitures, accounted for a 14.0 percent increase in international revenues. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar against several major international currencies relevant to the Company's non-U.S. operations decreased revenues by 11.1 percent. The increase in revenues due to net new business gains and higher spending from existing clients was 3.0 percent. In 1995, worldwide operating expenses increased 17.4 percent. Acquisitions, net of divestitures during the year, accounted for a 3.9 percent increase in worldwide operating expenses. The weakening of the U.S dollar increased worldwide operating expenses by 3.2 percent. The remaining 10.3 percent increase was caused by normal salary increases and growth in out-of-pocket expenditures to service the increased revenue base. Net foreign exchange gains did not significantly impact operating expenses for the year. In 1994, worldwide operating expenses increased 10.2 percent. Acquisitions, net of divestitures during the year, accounted for a 4.8 percent increase in worldwide operating expenses. The weakening of the U.S dollar increased worldwide operating expenses by 1.1 percent. The remaining 4.3 percent increase was caused by normal salary increases and growth in out-of-pocket expenditures to service the increased revenue base, partially offset by the elimination of the special charge recorded in 1993. Net foreign exchange gains did not significantly impact operating expenses for the year. In 1993, worldwide operating expenses increased 5.8 percent. During the year, the Company recorded a special charge of $22.7 million associated with the restructuring of certain real estate operating leases, including the write-off of fixed assets abandoned in conjunction with lease terminations. The special charge accounted for a 1.6 percent increase in operating expenses. Acquisitions, net of divestitures during the year, accounted for an 8.5 percent increase in worldwide operating expenses. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar against several international currencies decreased worldwide operating expenses by 5.0 percent. The remaining increase was caused by normal salary increases and growth in out-of-pocket expenditures to service the increased revenue base. Net foreign exchange gains did not significantly impact operating expenses for the year. Interest expense in 1995 increased $2.8 million, reflecting higher average borrowings during the year. Interest and dividend income increased in 1995 by $1.7 million. This increase was attributable to higher average amounts of cash and marketable securities invested during the year. Interest expense in 1994 decreased by $6.6 million. This decrease reflects lower average interest rates on borrowings, primarily due to the conversion of the Company's 7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures in October 1993 and the conversion of the Company's 6.5% Convertible Subordinated Debentures in July 1994. Interest and dividend income decreased by $2.2 million in 1994. This decrease was primarily due to lower average funds available for investment during the year and declining interest rates in certain countries. Interest expense in 1993 decreased by $4.3 million, reflecting lower average borrowings during the year. Interest and dividend income decreased in 1993 by $3.1 million. This decrease was primarily due to lower average amounts of cash and marketable securities invested during the year. In 1995, the effective tax rate decreased to 40.1 percent. The decrease reflects a reduction in the effect of nondeductible goodwill amortization and a decrease in the effective rate of state and local taxes. In 1994, the effective tax rate decreased to 41.2 percent. The decrease reflects a reduction in losses of domestic and international subsidiaries without tax benefit, a reduction in the effective rate of state and local taxes and a reduction in the effect of nondeductible goodwill amortization, offset by the elimination of nontaxable proceeds from life insurance policies. In 1993, the effective tax rate increased to 48.1 percent. The increase reflects increased losses of domestic subsidiaries without tax benefit and an increase in the domestic federal tax rate, partially offset by nontaxable proceeds from life insurance policies and a lower international effective tax rate. In 1995, consolidated net income increased 25.5 percent compared to 1994 consolidated net income before the adoption of SFAS 112. This increase was the result of revenue growth, margin improvement, and an increase in equity income, partially offset by an increase in minority interest expense. Operating margin, which excludes net interest expense, increased to 12.0 percent in 1995 from 11.3 percent in 1994 as a result of greater growth in commission and fee revenue than the growth in operating expenses. The increase in equity income was primarily due to increased earnings of the Company's existing equity affiliates. The increase in minority interest expense was caused by higher earnings from 8 companies in which minority interests exist. In 1995, the impact of divestitures, net of acquisitions, resulted in a 4.4 percent decrease in consolidated net income, while the weakening of the U.S. dollar against several international currencies increased consolidated net income by 3.4 percent. In 1994, consolidated net income before the adoption of SFAS 112 increased by 70.0 percent. This increase was the result of revenue growth, margin improvement, an increase in equity income and a reduction in the effective tax rate. Operating margin, which excludes net interest expense, increased to 11.3 percent in 1994 from 9.1 percent in 1993 as a result of greater growth in commission and fee revenue than the growth in operating expenses. The increase in equity income was primarily due to earnings from new equity affiliates and was also due to improved net income at companies which are less than 50 percent owned. In 1994, the impact of divestitures, net of acquisitions, resulted in a 2.3 percent decrease in consolidated net income, while the weakening of the U.S. dollar against several international currencies increased consolidated net income by 1.4 percent. In 1993, consolidated net income increased 9.9 percent compared to 1992 net income before changes in accounting principles. This increase was the result of revenue growth, margin improvement, an increase in equity income and a decrease in minority interest expense. Operating margin decreased to 9.1 percent in 1993 from 9.3 percent in 1992 as a result of lesser growth in commission and fee revenue than the growth in operating expenses. The increase in equity income was the result of improved net income at companies which are less than 50 percent owned. The decrease in minority interest expense was primarily due to the acquisition of certain minority interests in 1993 and lower earnings by companies in which minority interests exist. In 1993, the incremental impact of acquisitions, net of divestitures, accounted for 1.0 percent of the increase in consolidated net income, while the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against several international currencies decreased consolidated net income by 6.6 percent. At December 31, 1995, accounts receivable net of allowances for doubtful accounts, increased by $290.7 million from December 31, 1994. At December 31, 1995, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities increased by $222.9 million and $89.3 million, respectively, from December 31, 1994. These increases were primarily due to an increased volume of activity resulting from business growth and acquisitions during the year and, in the case of accounts payable, differences in the dates on which payments to media and other suppliers became due in 1995 compared to 1994. Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112 "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits". The cumulative after tax effect of the adoption of this statement decreased net income by $28.0 million. The Company's international operations are subject to the risk of currency exchange rate fluctuations. This risk is generally limited to the net income of the operations as the revenues and expenses of the operations are generally denominated in the same currency. When economically beneficial to do so, the Company or its international operations enter into hedging transactions to minimize the risk of adverse currency exchange rate fluctuations on the net income of the operation. The Company's major international markets are the United Kingdom, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, and Canada. The Company's operations are also subject to the risk of interest rate fluctuations. As part of managing the Company's exposures to currency exchange and market interest rates, the Company periodically enters into derivative financial instruments with major well known banks acting as principal counterparty. In order to minimize counterparty risk, the Company only enters into derivative contracts with major well known banks that have credit ratings equal to or better than the Company's. Additionally, these contracts contain provisions for net settlement. As such, the contracts settle based on the spread between the currency rates and interest rates contained in the contracts and the current market rates. This minimizes the risk of an insolvent counterparty being unable to pay the Company and, at the same time, having the creditors of the counterparty demanding the notional principal amount from the Company. The Company's derivative activities are limited in volume and confined to risk management activities related to the Company's worldwide operations. A reporting system is in place which evaluates the impact on the Company's earnings resulting from changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates and other relevant market risks. This system is structured to enable senior management to initiate prompt remedial action, if appropriate. 9 At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company had forward exchange contracts outstanding with an aggregate notional principal amount of $325 million and $346 million, respectively, most of which were denominated in the Company's major international market currencies. These contracts predominantly hedge certain of the Company's intercompany receivables and payables which are recorded in a currency different from that in which they will settle. The terms of these contracts are generally three months or less. At December 31, 1995, the Company had executed interest rate swap contracts with banks which will become effective during 1996. These contracts consist of; a $75 million notional principal amount U.S. dollar fixed to floating rate swap relating to a portion of the Company's intercompany interest cash flows; and a Deutsche Mark 76.6 million notional principal amount (approximately $53.3 million at the December 31, 1995 exchange rate) floating to fixed rate swap and a $10 million notional principal amount U.S. dollar floating to fixed rate swap, both of which will convert a portion of the Company's floating rate debt to a fixed rate. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company had no other derivative contracts outstanding. The Company anticipates relatively favorable growth rates in its domestic and international markets. Capital Resources and Liquidity Cash and cash equivalents increased $72.2 million during 1995 to $314.0 million at December 31, 1995. The Company's positive net cash flow provided by operating activities was maintained, in part, by a continued favorable relationship between the collection of accounts receivable and the payment of obligations to media and other suppliers. After annual cash outlays for dividends paid to shareholders and minority interests and the repurchase of the Company's common stock for employee programs, the balance of the cash flow, together with the proceeds from issuance of debt obligations, was used to fund acquisitions, make capital expenditures, repay debt obligations and invest in marketable securities. On January 4, 1995, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company issued Deutsche Mark 200 million Floating Rate Bonds due January 5, 2000. The bonds bear interest at a per annum rate equal to Deutsche Mark three month LIBOR plus 0.65%. On June 1, 1994, the Company issued a Notice of Redemption for the outstanding $100 million of its 6.5% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2004. Prior to the July 27,1994 redemption date, debenture holders elected to convert all of their outstanding debentures into common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $14.00 per common share. The Company maintains relationships with a number of banks worldwide, which have extended unsecured committed lines of credit in amounts sufficient to meet the Company's cash needs. At December 31, 1995, the Company had $374 million in committed lines of credit, comprised of a $250 million, three year revolving credit agreement and $124 million in unsecured credit lines, principally outside of the United States. Of the $374 million in committed lines, $18 million were used at December 31, 1995. Management believes the aggregate lines of credit available to the Company are adequate to support its short-term cash requirements for dividends, capital expenditures and maintenance of working capital. The Company anticipates that the year end cash position, together with the future cash flows from operations and funds available under existing credit facilities will be adequate to meet its long-term cash requirements as presently contemplated. On March 1, 1996, the Company issued Deutsche Mark 100 million Floating Rate Bonds (approximately $68 million). The bonds are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the Company and bear interest at a per annum rate equal to Deutsche Mark three month LIBOR plus 0.375%. The bonds will mature on March 1, 1999 and will be repaid at par. The proceeds of this issuance will be used for general corporate purposes, including the reduction of outstanding commercial paper debt. Item 8.

Wagner Attorney-in-fact 15 REPORT OF MANAGEMENT The management of Omnicom Group Inc. is responsible for the integrity of the financial data reported by Omnicom Group and its subsidiaries. Management uses its best judgment to ensure that the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position and results of operations of Omnicom Group. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The system of internal controls of Omnicom Group, augmented by a program of internal audits, is designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and records are maintained to substantiate the preparation of accurate financial information. Underlying this concept of reasonable assurance is the premise that the cost of control should not exceed the benefits derived therefrom. The financial statements have been audited by independent public accountants. Their report expresses an independent informed judgment as to the fairness of management's reported operating results and financial position. This judgment is based on the procedures described in the second paragraph of their report. The Audit Committee meets periodically with representatives of financial management, internal audit and the independent public accountants to assure that each is properly discharging their responsibilities. In order to ensure complete independence, the Audit Committee communicates directly with the independent public accountants, internal audit and financial management to discuss the results of their audits, the adequacy of internal accounting controls and the quality of financial reporting. BRUCE CRAWFORD FRED J. MEYER - ---------------------------------------- ------------------------------------ Bruce Crawford Fred J. Meyer Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Chief Financial Officer F-1 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Omnicom Group Inc.: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Omnicom Group Inc. (a New York corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements and the schedule referred to below are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits. Prior to 1995, we did not audit the financial statements of Chiat/Day Holdings, Inc. and Ross Roy Communications, Inc., companies acquired during 1995 in two transactions accounted for as poolings of interests, as discussed in Note 2. Such statements are included in the consolidated financial statements of Omnicom Group Inc. and account for total assets of 6% at December 31, 1994 and total revenues of 7% and 11% for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, of the consolidated totals, after restatement to reflect certain adjustments. The financial statements of Chiat/Day Holdings, Inc. and Ross Roy Communications, Inc. prior to those adjustments were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for those entities, is based solely upon the reports of the other auditors. 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 and the reports of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Omnicom Group Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. As discussed in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 1994, the Company changed its method of accounting for postemployment benefits. Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule on page S-3 is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and is not part of the basic financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, fairly states in all material respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

F-6 OMNICOM GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Business. Omnicom Group Inc., through its wholly and partially-owned companies, operates advertising agencies which plan, create, produce and place advertising in various media such as television, radio, newspaper and magazines. Additional services such as marketing consultation, consumer market research, design and production of merchandising and sales promotion programs and materials, direct mail advertising, corporate identification, and public relations are offered to clients. These services are offered to clients worldwide on a local, national, pan-regional or global basis. Recognition of Commission and Fee Revenue. Substantially all revenues are derived from commissions for placement of advertisements in various media and from fees for manpower and for production of advertisements. Revenue is generally recognized when billed. Billings are generally rendered upon presentation date for media, when manpower is used, when costs are incurred for radio and television production and when print production is completed. Principles of Consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Omnicom Group Inc. and its domestic and international subsidiaries (the "Company"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Restatements and Reclassifications. During 1995, the Company completed certain acquisitions which were accounted for under the pooling of interests method of accounting, as discussed in Note 2. Accordingly, the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements have been restated to include the results of these companies for all periods presented. On December 15, 1995, the Company completed a two-for-one stock split in the form of a 100% stock dividend; as such all prior year balances have been restated to give retroactive effect to the split. In addition, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1995 presentation. Billable Production. Billable production orders in process consist principally of costs incurred in producing advertisements and marketing communications for clients. Such amounts are generally billed to clients when costs are incurred for radio and television production and when print production is completed. Treasury Stock. The Company accounts for treasury share purchases at cost. The reissuance of treasury shares is accounted for at the average cost. Gains or losses on the reissuance of treasury shares are generally accounted for as additional paid-in capital. Foreign Currency Translation. The Company's financial statements were prepared in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation." Under this method, net transaction gains of $.4 million, $4.0 million and $4.4 million are included in 1995, 1994 and 1993 net income, respectively. Earnings Per Common Share. Primary earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during each year. Fully diluted earnings per share is based on the above and if dilutive, adjusted for the assumed conversion of the Company's Convertible Subordinated Debentures and the assumed increase in net income for the after tax interest cost of these debentures. For the year ended December 31, 1995 the 4.5%/6.25% Step-Up Convertible Subordinated Debentures were assumed to be converted for the full year. For the year ended December 31, 1994 the 4.5%/6.25% Step-Up Convertible Subordinated Debentures were assumed to be converted for the full year; and the 6.5% Convertible Subordinated Debentures were assumed to be converted through July 27, 1994, when they were converted into common stock. For the year ended December 31, 1993, the 6.5% Convertible Subordinated Debentures were assumed to be converted for the full year; the 7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures were assumed to be converted through October 8, 1993 when they were converted into common stock; and the 4.5%/6.25% Step-Up Convertible Subordinated Debentures were assumed to be converted from their September 1, 1993 issuance date. The number of shares used in the computations were as follows: 1995 1994 1993 ---- ---- ---- Primary EPS computation .......... 74,375,300 70,764,800 63,827,900 Fully diluted EPS computation .... 79,913,100 79,925,700 77,739,200 F-7 OMNICOM GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) For purposes of computing fully diluted earnings per share on net income and the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle, for the year ended December 31, 1994, the Company's Convertible Subordinated Debentures were not reflected in the computations as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Severance Agreements. Arrangements with certain present and former employees provide for continuing payments for periods up to 10 years after cessation of their full-time employment in consideration for agreements by the employees not to compete and to render consulting services in the post employment period. Such payments, which are determined, subject to certain conditions and limitations, by earnings in subsequent periods, are expensed in such periods. Depreciation of Furniture and Equipment and Amortization of Leasehold Improvements. Depreciation charges are computed on a straight-line basis or declining balance method over the estimated useful lives of furniture and equipment, up to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the terms of the related lease or the useful life of these assets. Intangibles. Intangibles represent acquisition costs in excess of the fair value of tangible net assets of purchased subsidiaries. The intangible values associated with the Company's business consist predominantly of two types; the value of the worldwide agency networks, and the value of ongoing client relationships. The Company's worldwide agency networks have been operating for an average of over sixty years and intangibles associated with enhancing network value are intended to enhance the long term value of the networks. Client relationships in the advertising industry are typically long term in nature and the Company's largest clients have on average been clients for approximately thirty years. As such, intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis principally over a period of forty years. Each year, the intangibles are written off if and to the extent they are determined to be impaired. Intangibles are considered to be impaired if the future anticipated undiscounted cash flows arising from the use of the intangibles is less than the net unamortized cost of the intangibles. Deferred Taxes. Deferred tax liabilities and tax benefits relate to the recognition of certain revenues and expenses in different years for financial statement and tax purposes. Cash Flows. The Company's cash equivalents are primarily comprised of investments in overnight interest-bearing deposits and money market instruments with original maturity dates of three months or less. The following supplemental schedule summarizes the fair value of assets acquired, cash paid, common shares issued and the liabilities assumed in conjunction with the acquisition of equity interests in subsidiaries and affiliates, for each of the three years ended December 31: (Dollars in thousands) 1995 1994 1993 ---- ---- ---- Fair value of non-cash assets acquired ... $129,425 $265,865 $287,177 Cash paid, net of cash acquired .......... (118,784) (150,660) (80,577) Common shares issued ..................... (3,668) (13,035) (21,906) ------- -------- -------- Liabilities assumed ...................... $ 6,973 $102,170 $184,694 ======= ======== ======== During 1994, the Company issued 7,142,466 shares of common stock upon conversion of $100 million of its 6.5% Convertible Subordinated Debentures. During 1993, the Company issued 6,668,158 shares of common stock upon conversion of $85.9 million of its 7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures. Concentration of Credit Risk The Company provides advertising and marketing services to a wide range of clients who operate in many industry sectors around the world. The Company grants credit to all qualified clients, but does not believe it is exposed to any undue concentration of credit risk to any significant degree. Derivative Financial Instruments. Derivative financial instruments consist principally of forward exchange contracts and interest rate swaps. In order for derivative financial instruments to qualify for hedge accounting the following criteria must be met: (a) the hedging instrument must be designated as a hedge; (b) the hedged exposure must be specifically identifiable and expose the Company F-8 OMNICOM GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) to risk; and (c) it must be highly probable that a change in fair value of the derivative financial instrument and an opposite change in the fair value of the hedged exposure will have a high degree of correlation. The majority of the Company's derivative activity relates to forward exchange contracts. The Company executes these contracts in the same currency as the hedged exposure, whereby 100% correlation is achieved. Gains and losses on derivative financial instruments which are hedges of existing assets or liabilities are included in the carrying amount of those assets or liabilities and are ultimately recognized in income as part of those carrying amounts. Interest received and/or paid arising from swap agreements which qualify as hedges are recognized in income when the interest is receivable or payable. Derivative financial instruments which do not qualify as hedges are revalued to the current market rate and any gains or losses are recorded in income in the current period. Use of Estimates. 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 and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 2. ACQUISITIONS In August 1995, the Company completed the acquisitions of Ross Roy Communications and Chiat/Day Holdings. Both transactions were accounted for under the pooling of interests method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company's financial statements have been restated to include the results of Ross Roy Communications and Chiat/Day Holdings for all periods presented. A total of 2,556,646 shares were issued in connection with these acquisitions. In May 1993, the Company completed its acquisition of a third agency network, TBWA International. The acquisition was accounted for as a pooling of interests and, accordingly, the results of operations for TBWA International have been included in these consolidated financial statements since January 1, 1993. During 1995 the Company made several other acquisitions within the advertising industry whose aggregate cost, in cash or by issuance of the Company's common stock, totaled $125.2 million for net assets, which included intangible assets of $108.7 million. Due to the nature of the advertising industry, companies acquired generally have minimal tangible net assets. The majority of the purchase price is paid for ongoing client relationships and to enhance the Company's worldwide agency networks and marketing service companies. Included in both figures are contingent payments related to prior year acquisitions totaling $45.0 million. Pro forma combined results of operations of the Company as if these acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 1994 do not materially differ from the reported amounts in the consolidated statements of income for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1995. Certain acquisitions entered into in 1995 and prior years require payments in future years if certain results are achieved. Formulas for these contingent future payments differ from acquisition to acquisition. Contingent future payments are not expected to be material to the Company's results of operations or financial position. 3. BANK LOANS AND LINES OF CREDIT Bank loans primarily comprised bank overdrafts of international subsidiaries which are treated as loans pursuant to bank agreements. The weighted average interest rate on the borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 was 6.5% and 9.0%, respectively. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company had unsecured committed lines of credit aggregating $374 million and $390 million, respectively. The unused portion of credit lines was $356 million at both December 31, 1995 and 1994. The lines of credit are generally extended at the banks' lending rates to their most credit worthy borrowers. Material compensating balances are not required within the terms of these credit agreements. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the committed lines of credit included $250 million under a three year revolving credit agreement expiring June 30, 1997. Due to the long term nature of this credit agreement, borrowings under the agreement would be classified as long-term debt. There were no borrowings under the revolving credit agreement at December 31, 1995 and 1994. F-9 OMNICOM GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) The revolving credit agreement includes a facility for issuing commercial paper backed by a bank letter of credit. During the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company issued commercial paper with an average original maturity of 31, 33 and 32 days, respectively. The Company had no commercial paper borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993. The maximum outstanding during the year was $210 million, $230 million and $194 million, in 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively. The gross amount of issuance and redemption during the year was $1,211 million, $1,587 million and $1,337 million in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. 4. EMPLOYEE STOCK PLANS Under the terms of the Company's 1987 Stock Plan, as amended (the "1987 Plan"), 13,100,000 shares of common stock of the Company have been reserved for restricted stock awards and non-qualified stock options to key employees of the Company. The remaining number of such reserved shares was 4,083,000 at December 31, 1995. Under the terms of the 1987 Plan, the option price may not be less than 100% of the market value of the stock at the date of the grant. Options become exercisable 30% on each of the first two anniversary dates of the grant date with the final 40% becoming exercisable three years from the grant date. Under the 1987 Plan, 830,000, 610,000 and 570,000 non-qualified options were granted in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. A summary of changes in outstanding options for the three years ended December 31, 1995 is as follows: Years Ended December 31, ------------------------------------------- 1995 1994 1993 ---- ---- ---- Shares under option (at prices ranging from $8.4375 to $24.2188) -- Beginning of year................................. 2,388,000 2,144,800 1,996,000 Options granted (at prices ranging from $25.875 to $32.4063).............................. 830,000 610,000 570,000 Options exercised (at prices ranging from $8.4375 to $24.2188).........................

All restricted shares granted under the 1987 Plan were sold at a price per share equal to their par value. The difference between par value and market value on the date of the sale is charged to shareholders' equity and then amortized to expense over the period of restriction. Under the 1987 Plan, the restricted shares become transferable to the employee in 20% annual increments provided the employee remains in the employ of the Company. F-10 OMNICOM GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Restricted shares may not be sold, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered until the restrictions lapse. Under most circumstances, the employee must resell the shares to the Company at par value if the employee ceases employment prior to the end of the period of restriction.

The equity method is used when the Company has an ownership of less than 50% and exercises significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the affiliate. The following table summarizes the balance sheets and income statements of the Company's unconsolidated affiliates, primarily in Europe, Australia and Asia, as of December 31, 1995, 1994, 1993, and for the years then ended: Dollars in Thousands) 1995 1994 1993 ---- ---- ---- Current assets.............. $1,399,700 $1,208,976 $308,741 Non-current assets.......... 147,093 146,899 73,772 Current liabilities......... 1,400,349 1,196,807 235,389 Non-current liabilities..... 149,781 162,328 29,596 Minority interests.......... 8,015 9,699 1,149 Gross revenues.............. 702,639 568,171 290,814 Costs and expenses.......... 582,850 451,688 238,039 Net income.................. 79,262 86,001 33,574 The increase in the summarized balance sheets and income statements of the Company's unconsolidated affiliates in 1995 and 1994 is due to the inclusion of new equity affiliates and the growth of the Company's existing equity affiliates. The Company's equity in the net income of these affiliates amounted to $20.8 million, $18.3 million and $13.2 million for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The Company's equity in the net tangible assets of these affiliated companies was approximately $76.7 million, $65.8 million and $58.1 million at December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Included in the Company's investments in affiliates is the excess of acquisition costs over the fair value of tangible net assets acquired. These excess acquisition costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis principally over a period of forty years. 7. LONG-TERM DEBT Long-term debt outstanding as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 consisted of the following: (Dollars in Thousands) 1995 1994 ---- ---- 4.5%/6.25% Step-Up Convertible Subordinated Debentures with a scheduled maturity in 2000..................................... $143,750 $143,750 Deutsche Mark 200 million Floating Rate Bonds, with a scheduled maturity in 2000, interest at DM three month LIBOR plus 0.65%.... 139,220 -- Sundry notes and loans payable to banks and others at rates from 6% to 25%, maturing at various dates through 2004............... 10,343 79,274 -------- -------- 293,313 223,024 Less current portion................................................ 2,934 23,537 -------- -------- Total long-term debt.............................................. $290,379 $199,487 ======== ======== F-12 OMNICOM GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) During the third quarter of 1993, the Company issued $143,750,000 of 4.5%/6.25% Step-Up Convertible Subordinated Debentures with a scheduled maturity in 2000. The average annual interest rate through the year 2000 is 5.42%. The debentures are convertible into common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $27.44 per share subject to adjustment in certain events. The debentures are not redeemable prior to September 1, 1996. Thereafter, the Company may redeem the debentures initially at 102.984% and at decreasing prices thereafter to 100% at maturity, in each case together with accrued interest. The debentures also may be repaid at the option of the holder at anytime prior to September 1, 2000 if there is a Fundamental Change, as defined in the debenture agreement, at the repayment prices set forth in the debenture agreement, subject to adjustment, together with accrued interest. On January 4, 1995, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company issued Deutsche Mark 200 million Floating Rate Bonds. The bonds are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the issuer and are unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by the Company. The bonds bear interest at a rate equal to Deutsche Mark three month LIBOR plus 0.65% and may be redeemed at the option of the issuer on January 5, 1997 or any interest payment date thereafter at their principal amount plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Unless redeemed earlier, the bonds will mature on January 5, 2000 and will be repaid at par. On June 1, 1994, the Company issued a Notice of Redemption for its 6.5% Convertible Subordinated Debentures with a scheduled maturity in 2004. Prior to the July 27, 1994 redemption date, debenture holders elected to convert all of their outstanding debentures into common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $14.00 per common share. On August 9, 1993, the Company issued a Notice of Redemption for its 7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures with a scheduled maturity in 2013. Prior to the October 1993 redemption date, debenture holders elected to convert all of their outstanding debentures into common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $12.875 per common share. On July 15, 1994, the Company amended and restated the revolving credit agreement originally entered into in 1988. This $250 million revolving credit agreement is with a consortium of banks expiring June 30, 1997. This credit agreement includes a facility for issuing commercial paper backed by a bank letter of credit. The agreement contains certain financial covenants regarding current ratio, ratio of total consolidated indebtedness to total consolidated capitalization, ratio of net cash flow to consolidated indebtedness, and limitations on investments in and loans to affiliates and unconsolidated subsidiaries. At December 31, 1995 the Company was in compliance with all of these covenants. Aggregate maturities of long-term debt in the next five years are as follows: (Dollars in Thousands) 1996............................................. $2,934 1997............................................. 2,939 1998............................................. 1,418 1999............................................. 478 2000............................................. 283,269 F-13 OMNICOM GROUP INC.

Deferred tax benefits result principally from recording certain expenses in the financial statements which are not currently deductible for tax purposes. Deferred tax liabilities result principally from expenses which are currently deductible for tax purposes, but have not yet been expensed in the financial statements. The Company has recorded deferred tax benefits as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 of $125.1 million and $111.1 million, respectively, related principally to tax deductible intangibles, leasehold amortization, restricted stock amortization, severance and compensation, leases and accrued expenses. The Company has recorded deferred tax liabilities as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 of $33.2 million and $27.9 million, respectively, related principally to furniture and equipment depreciation and tax lease recognition. F-14 OMNICOM GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Deferred tax benefits (liabilities) as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 consisted of the amounts shown below (dollars in millions): 1995 1994 ---- ---- Deductible intangibles..................... $37.9 $31.5 Acquisition liabilities.................... 16.1 12.1 Lease reserves............................. 8.3 3.0 Severance and compensation reserves........ 28.8 24.7 Tax loss carryforwards..................... 6.0 7.8 Amortization and depreciation..............

Net non-current deferred tax benefits as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 were $70.2 million and $65.1 million, respectively. In 1993, legislation was enacted which increased the U.S. statutory tax rate from 34% to 35%. The effect of this rate change and other statutory rate changes in various state, local and international jurisdictions was not material to net income. A provision has been made for additional income and withholding taxes on the earnings of international subsidiaries and affiliates that will be distributed. 9. EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS The Company's international and domestic subsidiaries provide retirement benefits for their employees primarily through defined contribution plans. Company contributions to the plans, which are determined by the boards of directors of the subsidiaries, have been in amounts up to 15% (the maximum amount deductible for federal income tax purposes) of total eligible compensation of participating employees. Expense associated with these plans amounted to $41.7 million, $36.6 million and $26.8 million in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The Company's pension plans are primarily international. These plans are not required to report to governmental agencies pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Substantially all of these plans are funded by fixed premium payments to insurance companies who undertake legal obligations to provide specific benefits to the individuals covered. Pension expense amounted to $4.4 million, $0.8 million and $1.1 million in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Certain subsidiaries of the Company have executive retirement programs under which benefits will be paid to participants or their beneficiaries over 15 years from age 65 or death. In addition, other subsidiaries have individual deferred compensation arrangements with certain executives which provide for payments over varying terms upon retirement, cessation of employment or death. Some of the Company's domestic subsidiaries provide life insurance and medical benefits for retired employees. Eligibility requirements vary by subsidiary, but generally include attainment of a specified combined age plus years of service factor. The expense related to these benefits was not material to the 1995, 1994 and 1993 consolidated results of operations. 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES At December 31, 1995, the Company was committed under operating leases, principally for office space. Certain leases are subject to rent reviews and require payment of expenses under escalation clauses. Rent expense was $169.1 million in 1995, $152.6 million in 1994 and $149.7 million in 1993 after reduction by rents received from subleases of $11.1 million, $10.2 million and $10.0 million, respectively. Future minimum base rents under terms of noncancellable operating leases, reduced by rents to be received from existing noncancellable subleases, are as follows: F-15 OMNICOM GROUP INC.

The Company is involved in various routine legal proceedings incident to the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings and unasserted claims in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, consolidated financial position or liquidity. 11. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments at December 31, 1995 and 1994. 1995 1994 ----------------------- ------------------------ (Dollars in Thousands) (Dollars in Thousands) Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Amount Value Amount Value ------ ----- ------ ----- Cash, cash equivalents and investments available-for-sale.... $335,473 $335,473 $270,222 $270,222 Long-term investments............... 7,520 7,520 5,597 5,597 Long-term debt...................... 293,313 346,860 223,024 224,461 Financial Commitments: Interest rate swaps............... -- 378 -- -- Forward exchange contracts........ -- 251 -- 123 Guarantees........................ -- 7,688 -- 0,065 Letters of credit................... -- 1,996 -- 19,879 The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value: Cash equivalents and investments available-for-sale: Cash equivalents and investments available-for-sale consist principally of investments in short-term, interest bearing instruments and are carried at fair market value, which approximates cost. Long-term investments: Included in deferred charges and other assets are long-term investments carried at cost, which approximates estimated fair value. Long-term debt: The fair value of the Company's convertible subordinated debenture issue was determined by reference to quotations available in markets where that issue is traded. These quotations primarily reflect the conversion value of the debentures into the Company's common stock. These debentures are redeemable by the Company, at prices explained in Note 7, which are less than the quoted market prices used in determining the fair value. The majority of the Company's remaining long-term debt is primarily floating rate debt and consequently the carrying amount approximates fair value. Financial Commitments: The estimated fair value of derivative positions are based upon quotations received from independent, third party banks and represent the net amount F-16 OMNICOM GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) payable to terminate the position, taking into consideration market rates and counterparty credit risk. The fair value of guarantees, principally related to affiliated companies, and letters of credit were based upon the face value of the underlying instruments. 12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND MARKET RISK The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments predominantly to reduce certain market risks to which the Company is exposed. These market risks primarily consist of the impact of changes in currency exchange rates on assets and liabilities of non-U.S. operations and the impact of changes in interest rates on debt. The Company's derivative activities are limited in volume and confined to risk management activities. Senior management at the Company actively participate in the quantification, monitoring and control of all significant risks. A reporting system is in place which evaluates the impact on the Company's earnings resulting from changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates and other relevant market risks. This system is structured to enable senior management to initiate prompt remedial action, if appropriate. Adequate segregation of duties exists with regard to the execution, recording and monitoring of derivative activities. Additionally, senior management reports periodically to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors concerning derivative activities. Since 1993, the Audit Committee has established limitations on derivative activities. These limitations have been reviewed annually, most recently on March 21, 1996. The Audit Committee has reconfirmed, for the year 1996, the limitations originally established in 1993. At December 31, 1995 the following swap agreements were outstanding: Maturity Aggregate Company Company Date Notional Amount Receives Pays ------------ ------------------ --------------- --------- (Amounts in thousands) U.S. dollar fixed to floating rate swap..... January 1997 $75,000 8.27% U.S. Prime Deutsche Mark ("DM") floating to fixed rate swap.......................... January 1997 DM 76,640 3 mo. DM LIBOR 3.79% U.S. dollar floating to fixed rate swap..... October 2006 $10,000 6 mo. US LIBOR 6.51% The $75 million swap relates to a portion of the Company's intercompany interest cash flows. The DM 76.6 million (approximately $53.3 million at the December 31, 1995 exchange rate) and the $10 million swap agreements convert a portion of the Company's floating rate debt to a fixed rate. There were no swap agreements outstanding at December 31, 1994. The Company enters into forward exchange contracts predominantly to hedge intercompany receivables and payables which are recorded in a currency different from that in which they will settle. Gains and losses on these positions are deferred and included in the basis of the transaction upon settlement. The terms of these contracts are generally three months or less. At December 31, 1995, the aggregate amount of intercompany receivables and payables subject to this hedge program was $306 million. The table below summarizes by major currency the notional principal amounts of the Company's forward exchange contracts outstanding at December 31, 1995. The "buy" amounts represent the U.S. dollar equivalent of commitments to purchase the respective currency, and the "sell" amounts represent the U.S. dollar equivalent of commitments to sell the respective currency.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) The derivative financial instruments existing at December 31, 1995 and 1994 were entered into for the purpose of hedging certain specific currency and interest rate risks. As a result of these financial instruments, the Company reduced financial risk in exchange for foregoing any gain (reward) which might have occurred if the markets moved favorably. In using derivative financial instruments, management exchanged the risks of the financial markets for counterparty risk. In order to minimize counterparty risk the Company only enters into contracts with major well known banks that have credit ratings equal to or better than the Company's. Additionally, these contracts contain provisions for net settlement. As such, the contracts settle based on the spread between the currency rates and interest rates contained in the contracts and the current market rates. This minimizes the risk of an insolvent counterparty being unable to pay the Company the notional principal amount owed to the Company and, at the same time, having the creditors of the counterparty demanding the notional principal amount from the Company. 13. ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES The Company intends to adopt SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" in 1996. The Company does not anticipate that the effect of such adoption will be material to the carrying value of such assets. The Company intends to adopt SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" in 1996. As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company intends to continue to apply the accounting provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and to make annual pro forma disclosures of the effect of adopting the fair value based method of accounting for employee stock options and similar instruments. Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted SFAS No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits". This statement establishes accounting standards for employers who provide benefits to former or inactive employees after employment but before retirement (referred to in this statement as "postemployment benefits"). Those benefits include, but are not limited to, salary continuation, supplemental unemployment benefits, severance benefits, disability-related benefits, job training and counseling, and continuation of benefits such as health care benefits and life insurance coverage. The cumulative after tax effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 112 resulted in a reduction to net income of $28 million. Effective January 1, 1994, the Company also adopted SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". This Statement addresses the accounting and reporting for investments in equity securities that have readily determinable fair values and for all investments in debt securities. In compliance with SFAS No. 115, the Company classifies these investments as investments available-for-sale. At December 31, 1995, the Company's investments consisted principally of time deposits with financial institutions. These investments, with scheduled maturities of less than one year, are valued at estimated fair value, which approximates cost. These investments are generally redeemed at face value upon maturity and, as such, gains or losses on disposition are immaterial. There are no material unrealized holding gains or losses as of December 31, 1995. 14. SUBSEQUENT EVENT On March 1, 1996, the Company issued Deutsche Mark 100 million Floating Rate Bonds (approximately $68 million). The bonds are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the Company and bear interest at a per annum rate equal to Deutsche Mark three month LIBOR plus 0.375%. The bonds will mature on March 1, 1999 and will be repaid at par. The proceeds of this issuance will be used for general corporate purposes, including the reduction of outstanding commercial paper debt. F-18 OMNICOM GROUP INC.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. 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 consolidated financial position of Chiat/Day Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of October 31, 1994 and 1993, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1, the Company's debt under its Senior Note and Senior Subordinated Note totaling $18,750,000 is due in 1995, which combined with its working capital and stockholders' deficits at October 31, 1994, raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans as to this matter are discussed in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
