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
During the three-month period ended September 30, 1995, the Company acquired
substantially all of the net assets of IMC Risk Management Group, Inc. and
W. Lawrence Pfeiffer & Associates, Inc. in exchange for approximately
348,000 shares of its Common Stock. These acquisitions were accounted for as
poolings of interests. The financial statements for all periods prior to the
acquisition dates have been restated to include the operations of these
companies.
The following summarizes the restatement to reflect these acquisitions (in
thousands):

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
Commission revenues increased by 7% to $65.1 million in the third quarter of
1995 and by 9% to $174.5 million in the first nine months 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 13% to $42.2 million in the third quarter of 1995 over
the same period in 1994. This increase reflects new business production of
approximately $7.0 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 $117.0 million for the first nine months of 1995 over the same period
in 1994. This increase again reflects new business production of approximately
$19.7 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 44% to $3.3 million in the third quarter of 1995 and
by 67% to $9.6 million in the first nine months 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 8% or $6.5 million in the third quarter of 1995 from
the same period in 1994 and increased by 10% or $23.7 million in the first nine
months of 1995 over the same period in 1994.
Salaries and employee benefits increased by $4.4 million or 9%, to $54.2 million
in the third quarter of 1995 and by $15.5 million or 11% to $161.9 million in
the first nine 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 $2.1 million or 7% to $32.8 million in the
third quarter of 1995 and by 9% to $96.2 million in the first nine 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 third quarter and first nine months
of 1995 approximates the statutory federal rate of 35% and is less than the
Company's effective tax rate of 37% for the third quarter and first nine 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 third quarter of 1995 were $.94 compared to $.79 in
1994, a 19% increase. In the first nine months, earnings per share increased
25% from $1.38 in 1994 to $1.72 in 1995. These earnings per share increases
reflect the growth in revenues and a smaller growth in expenses noted above.
