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

     This  report  contains  certain  "forward  looking  statements"  within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Generally,  the
words "believe," "may," "will," "estimate," "continue,"  "anticipate," "intend,"
"expect"  and similar  expressions  identify  forward  looking  statements.  The
Registrant  has based these forward  looking  statements  largely on its current
expectations and projections  about future events and financial trends affecting
its business.  These forward looking statements  include statements  relating to
trends in the advertising and marketing  services  industry,  particularly  with
respect to  anticipated  advertising  expenditures  in the  world's  advertising
markets.  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
