FORWARD LOOKING AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
------------------------------------------

     This  report  contains  certain  "forward  looking  statements"  within the
meaning  of  the  Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform  Act of  1995.  Actual
advertising  expenditures  may differ  materially  from the estimates  contained
therein depending on, among other things,  regional,  national and international
political and economic  conditions,  technological  changes, the availability of
media and regulatory regimes in the world's advertising  markets.  Additionally,
this report contains a number of "forward  looking  statements"  relating to the
Registrant's   performance.   The  Registrant's   actual  results  could  differ
materially from those anticipated, depending on, among other things, gains to or
losses from its client base,  the amount of revenue  derived from  clients,  the
Registrant's  exposure  to changes  in the  exchange  rates of major  currencies
against the pound  sterling  (because a substantial  portion of its revenues are
derived and costs incurred outside of the United Kingdom),  the general level of
advertising  expenditures in the Registrant's  markets referred to above and the
overall  level  of  economic  activity  in the  Registrant's  major  markets  as
discussed above.  The Registrant's  ability to reduce its fixed cost base in the
short term is limited and therefore its trading performance can be significantly
affected by variations in the level of its revenues.

INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE

     This  report  shall be  deemed to be  incorporated  by  reference  into the

                             annual general meeting

Cordiant  Communications  Group plc  ("Cordiant")  is the world's  ninth largest
global marketing  communications  group. With over 14,000 employees in more than
250 offices  spanning 81  countries  (including  affiliates),  Cordiant  has the
breadth of services  coupled  with  international  reach and local  expertise to
provide clients with a truly global competitive advantage.


At today's Annual General Meeting, Cordiant Chairman, Charles Scott commented:

"2000 was a historic year for Cordiant.  Revenues increased by 54% to (pound)513
million,  with underlying growth of 12.6%, and operating margins improved to 12%
from 10% in 1999.  Operating profits  increased to (pound)61.4  million - an 84%
increase, and headline earnings per share increased to 10.6 pence from 8.2 pence
in 1999,  an  increase  of 29%.  For 2000,  the Board  has  recommended  a final
dividend of 2.1 pence, an increase of 17% on 1999.

As well as delivering an improved  financial  performance,  we also  completed a
number of  acquisitions  that  significantly  enhanced  the  breadth of services
available  to  our  clients.  In  2000,  on a  pro  forma  basis  adjusting  for
acquisitions,  advertising  represented 50% and marketing  communications 50% of
total revenues, respectively.

In the first four  months of 2001,  revenues  grew by 47% at  constant  exchange
rates with  underlying  growth of 3.2%.  The recent  economic  slowdown,  and in
particular the decline in the technology sector, has impacted revenue growth for
elements  of the Group.  In light of these more  difficult  trading  conditions,
headcount  reductions have been made in a number of our  businesses.  Whilst the
Group's  overall  profitability  will be impacted,  we continue to expect margin
improvement  on a full year basis over 2000.  Revenue growth for 2001 as a whole
is now expected to be in line with the market."

                                                                    12 June 2001
