PART I

Item 1. Business

The Registrant, incorporated in December 1925, serves business, professional and
educational markets around the world with information products and services. Key
markets include finance, business, education, construction, medical and health,
aerospace and defense. As a multimedia publishing and information company, the
Registrant employs a broad range of media, including books, magazines,
newsletters, software, on-line data services, CD-ROMs, facsimile and television
broadcasting. Most of the Registrant's products and services face substantial
competition from a variety of sources.

The Registrant's 16,376 employees are located worldwide. They perform the vital
functions of analyzing the nature of changing demands for information and of
channeling the resources necessary to fill those demands. By virtue of the
numerous copyrights and licensing, trade, and other agreements, which are
essential to such a business, the Registrant is able to collect, compile, and
disseminate this information. All book manufacturing and magazine printing is
handled through a number of independent contractors. The Registrant's principal
raw material is paper, and the Registrant has assured sources of supply, at
competitive prices, adequate for its business needs.

Descriptions of the company's principal products, broad services and markets,
and significant achievements are hereby incorporated by reference from Exhibit
(13), pages 5 to 19 and 22 to 23, (textual material) of the Registrant's 1999
Annual Report to Shareholders.

Information as to Operating Segments

The relative contribution of the operating segments of the Registrant and its
subsidiaries to operating revenue, operating profit, long-lived assets and
geographic information for the three years ended December 31, 1999 at the end of
each year, are included in Exhibit (13), on pages 43 and 44 in the Registrant's
1999 Annual Report to Shareholders and is hereby incorporated by reference.

In 1999, Platt's, a provider of real-time information and analysis in the global
energy services market, was consolidated with the Energy Information Group in
the Information and Media Services segment. Also, in 1999, the management of S&P
Personal Wealth, an e-commerce initiative that provides allocation and planning
tools to the individual investor, was transferred to Business Week, in the
Information and Media Services segment, for operation and consolidation in its
online business. The following is a summary of the segment's revenue and
operating profit restated for these transfers for the years 1999, 1998 and 1997.
