NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company believes
the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading. The unaudited consolidated financial statements included
herein are, in the opinion of management, prepared on a basis
consistent with the audited consolidated financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 1994 and include all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair
presentation of the information set forth.
The quarterly results of operations are not necessarily indicative of
results of operations for subsequent quarters or the full year.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the
notes thereto included in the Company's 1994 Annual Report to
Stockholders.
2. ACQUISITIONS - POOLINGS OF INTERESTS
On May 31, 1995, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company acquired
substantially all the net assets of BHK&R, Inc., a Minnesota
corporation engaged in the insurance brokerage business. This
acquisition was not material to the Company.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
Reference is made to the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
included in the Company's 1994 Form 10-K Annual Report for a description of the
Company's need for and ability to generate capital, which description is hereby
incorporated by reference. See Exhibit 13.0.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Extremely soft pricing in the insurance marketplace continues, and the Company
remains doubtful that price increases will change significantly in the remainder
of 1995.
Commission revenues increased by 6% to $49.7 million in the second quarter of
1995 and by 8% to $102.4 million in the first half of 1995 over the respective
periods in 1994. These increases are due principally to new business production
partially offset by lost business.
Fee revenues increased by 15% to $38.1 million in the second quarter of 1995
over the same period in 1994. This increase reflects new business production of
approximately $4.6 million and to a lesser extent renewal fee increases of self-
insurance products generated primarily by Gallagher Bassett Services, Inc. (a
Company subsidiary), partially offset by lost business. Fee revenues increased
by 13% to $74.2 million for the first six months of 1995 over the same period in
1994. This increase again reflects new business production of approximately $9.3
million and to a lesser extent renewal fee increases of self-insurance products
generated primarily by Gallagher Bassett Services, Inc., partially offset by
lost business.
Investment income increased 365% to $3.4 million in the second quarter of 1995
and by 81% to $6.1 million in the first half of 1995 over the respective periods
in 1994. These increases were due primarily to significantly higher returns on
funds invested with outside fund managers, and higher interest income due to
more funds available for investment and higher short-term interest rates
compared to the same periods in 1994.

ARTHUR J. GALLAGHER & CO.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Total expenses increased by 12% or $8.5 million in the second quarter of 1995
from the same period in 1994 and increased by 11% or $15.7 million in the first
half of 1995 over the same period in 1994.
Salaries and employee benefits increased by $4.9 million or 11%, to $51.4
million in the second quarter of 1995 and by $9.9 million or 11% to $102.6
million in the first six months of 1995 over the respective periods in 1994.
These increases are due principally to increased employee head count combined
with salary increases and higher employee fringe benefit costs.
Other operating expenses increased by $3.6 million or 13% to $31.0 million in
the second quarter of 1995 and by 10% to $61.6 million in the first six months
of 1995 over the respective periods in 1994. These increases are due primarily
to new and expanded offices and costs associated with more rentable space and
general office expenses and increased business insurance costs. Travel and other
direct employee expenses were up due to the growth in sales volume and employee
head count.
The effective income tax rate of 35% for the second quarter and first six months
of 1995 approximates the statutory federal rate of 35% and is less than the
Company's effective tax rate of 37% for the second quarter and first six months
of 1994 due primarily to the net effect of state and foreign taxes which are
substantially offset by the tax benefits of certain investments.
Earnings per share for the second quarter of 1995 were $.36 compared to $.28 in
1994, a 29% increase. First half earnings per share increased 25% from $.61 in
1994 to $.76 in 1995. These earnings per share increases reflect the growth in
revenues and a smaller growth in expenses noted above.
