PART I
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL

Alexander & Alexander Services Inc. (the "Company"), is a holding company
which, through its subsidiaries, provides risk management, insurance brokerage
and human resource management consulting services on a global basis. It is one
of the few organizations capable of providing such services to clients with
multinational operations. The Company operates from offices located in more than
80 countries and territories through wholly owned subsidiaries, affiliates and
other servicing capabilities. Its international operations represent 53 percent,
48 percent and 46 percent of the Company's consolidated operating revenues for
the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The Company was
incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland in 1973 and through
predecessor entities has been in business since 1899.

During 1994, the Board of Directors effected significant changes in the
Company's management. In the last half of 1994, new management conducted a
thorough worldwide review of the Company's operations, expense structure and
business strategy. As a result of this review, management restructured, to
varying degrees, each of the Company's core businesses. During 1995, the Company
made certain strategic purchases of businesses, both domestic and international,
to complement existing operations. In addition, new offices were opened in
Bahrain, Greece, India, Indonesia, Norway, South Africa and Switzerland. The
Company will continue to explore geographical market expansion and further
industry specialization as well as consider possible niche and substantial
strategic acquisitions relating to its core business and other opportunities
within the financial services industry.

INDUSTRY SEGMENTS

Insurance Services. The Company's principal industry segment is insurance
services, which includes risk management and insurance services, specialist
broking and reinsurance broking. For each of the years ended December 31, 1995,
1994 and 1993, total revenues contributed by the Company's insurance services
segment accounted for 84 percent of its consolidated operating revenues. The
Company's extensive services permit it to handle diverse lines of coverage. In
October 1995, the Company acquired most of the U.S. retail insurance broking and
consulting business of Jardine Insurance Brokers, Inc. for a purchase price not
to exceed approximately $48.3 million. The acquisition increased the Company's
presence in the west, primarily in California, and added management strength to
certain U.S. practice groups, including health care and agribusiness.

Risk Management and Insurance Services. The Company's Risk Management and
Insurance Services operations (also referred to as "retail broking") develop
risk management programs and place coverage on behalf of its clients
directly with insurance companies or indirectly through specialist insurance
brokers. During 1995, this operation served approximately 125,000 clients,
through 260 offices in 74 countries. For the years ended December 31, 1995,
1994 and 1993, the Company's risk management and insurance services
operations accounted for approximately 60 percent, 64 percent and 64
percent, respectively, of the Company's consolidated operating revenues. The
Company's risk analysis and management capabilities include a broad range of
services such as risk surveys and analyses, loss control and cost studies,
formulation of safety procedures and insurance programs. Complementing these
services, the Company offers financial and actuarial services, risk
information and strategic risk management consulting. In 1993, the common
trading name of "Alexander & Alexander" was introduced throughout its global
insurance services

10-K405 3rd Page of 18 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 3rd
network in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Japan and in
most of its markets in continental Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East.

Specialist and Reinsurance Broking. Effective January 1, 1995, the Company's
specialist broking (also referred to as "wholesale broking") and reinsurance
broking operations were combined under the operating name Alexander Howden
Group Limited, headquartered in London. This operation has 62 offices
located in 37 countries. For the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and
1993, the Company's combined specialist and reinsurance broking operations
accounted for approximately 24 percent, 20 percent and 20 percent,
respectively, of the Company's consolidated operating revenues. As a
specialist broker, the Company acts as an intermediary between the retail
broker and insurance companies throughout the world, including Lloyd's of
London syndicates. The Company's worldwide specialist operations place large
and complex risks that require access to the London and world insurance
markets, and offer excess, surplus and specialty lines placements,
specialist insurance broking and facultative reinsurance. As a reinsurance
broker, the Company places coverage on behalf of its insurance or
reinsurance company clients worldwide, including Lloyd's of London
syndicates, to reinsure all or a portion of the risk underwritten by that
insurance or reinsurance company.

The Company is compensated for its broking services by commissions, usually
as a percentage of insurance premiums paid by the client, or by negotiated fees.
The Company may also receive overrider and/or contingent commissions which are
based on the volume and/or profitability of business placed with an insurance
company over a given period of time. The Company is generally compensated on a
fee basis when providing consulting and advisory services with respect to
clients' risk and underwriting management programs. In addition to commissions
and fees, the Company derives revenues from investment income earned on
fiduciary funds. Premiums received from insureds but not yet remitted to the
carriers and claims payments received from carriers but not yet remitted to the
insureds are held as cash or investments in a fiduciary capacity.

The Company's insurance broking revenues are generally affected by premium
rates charged by insurance companies in the property and casualty markets and
the overall available market capacity. Commission and fee growth has been
constrained since the mid-to-late 1980's due to soft pricing and excess capacity
and the resultant intense competition among insurance carriers. The Company's
broking revenues are also affected by the timing of renewal cycles in different
parts of the world and lines of business which produce a degree of seasonality
in the Company's results. Risk management and insurance services broking
revenues in Continental Europe are the strongest during the first quarter of the
year, in contrast to the U.S. and Asia-Pacific, where such revenues are the
strongest in the fourth quarter of the year. Specialist and reinsurance broking
revenues are strongest during the first and second quarters.

Human Resource Management Consulting. The Company offers global
workforce-related consulting and benefits broking services through The Alexander
Consulting Group Inc. ("ACG"). For each of the years ended December 31, 1995,
1994 and 1993, total revenues contributed by ACG accounted for 16 percent of the
Company's consolidated operating revenues. ACG provides integrated advisory and
support services in workforce management, including retirement planning,
health/welfare and total compensation, human resource information technologies
and communications. ACG also offers brokerage services for group health and
welfare, special risk, and executive planning insurance coverages. During 1995,
ACG served over 20,000 clients, through 87 offices in 17 countries.

The Company is compensated for human resource management consulting services
on a fee basis, except in instances where it receives commissions from insurance
companies for the placement of individual and group insurance contracts.
Revenues for the human resource management consulting segment are typically
strongest in the fourth quarter and weakest in the first quarter, and therefore,

10-K405 4th Page of 18 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 4th
produce a degree of seasonality in the Company's results. Revenue generated in
the Company's human resource consulting business can be significantly affected
by legislative enactments.

Financial Information about Industry Segments. For financial information
related to the Company's industry segments and geographical concentrations for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, see Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
("MD&A") and Note 15 of the Notes to Financial Statements in the Company's 1995
Annual Report to Stockholders (the "1995 Annual Report").

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In 1985, the Company discontinued its insurance underwriting operations. In
1987, the Company sold Sphere Drake Insurance Group. The Sphere Drake sales
agreement provides indemnities by the Company to the purchaser for various
potential liabilities including provisions covering future losses on certain
insurance pooling arrangements from 1953 to 1967 between Sphere Drake and Orion
Insurance Company, a U.K.-based insurance company, and future losses pursuant to
a stop-loss reinsurance contract between Sphere Drake and Lloyd's Syndicate 701.
In addition, the sales agreement requires the Company to assume any losses in
respect of actions or omissions by Swann & Everett Underwriting Agency, an
underwriting management company previously managed by a subsidiary of the
Company. In addition, the Company is currently running off its insurance
underwriting subsidiaries located in Atlanta and Bermuda. For further
information concerning discontinued operations see MD&A and Note 6 of Notes to
Financial Statements in the 1995 Annual Report.

COMPETITION AND CUSTOMERS

Based on 1994 revenues, the Company believes that it is the fourth largest
insurance broker worldwide and the eighth largest human resource management
consultant worldwide.

The Company's clients are primarily commercial enterprises including a broad
range of industrial, transportation, service, financial and other businesses. No
significant part of the Company or its subsidiaries' business is dependent upon
a single client or a few clients, the loss of any one of which would have a
material adverse affect on the Company.

Insurance broking and human resource management consulting are highly
competitive industries. The Company competes with other worldwide and national
companies, as well as regional and local firms and individuals. The principal
methods of competition in these businesses involve the nature, quality and cost
of the services the broker or consultant provides. As a service provider, the
Company also encounters competition with respect to attracting and retaining
qualified employees. In addition, insurance and reinsurance underwriters compete
with the Company by marketing and servicing their insurance products without the
assistance of insurance brokers. Also, certain insureds and groups of insureds
have initiated programs of self-insurance, thereby reducing or eliminating the
need for insurance brokers.

REGULATION AND LICENSING

The activities of the Company related to insurance broking and human
resource management consulting services are subject to licensing requirements
and extensive regulation under the laws of the United States and each of its
various states, territories and possessions, as well as the laws of numerous
other countries in which the Company's subsidiaries conduct business. These laws
and regulations vary by jurisdiction. The appropriate regulatory authorities
generally have wide discretionary authority in adopting, amending and
implementing such regulations. In addition, certain of the Company's insurance
activities are governed by the rules of the Lloyd's of London insurance market
and other similar organizations.

10-K405 5th Page of 18 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 5th
In every state of the United States and most foreign jurisdictions, an
insurance broker or agent is required to have a license and such license may be
denied or revoked by the appropriate governmental agency for various reasons,
including the violation of its regulations and the conviction of crimes. In a
few jurisdictions, licenses are issued only to individual residents or locally
owned business entities. In certain of those jurisdictions, if the Company
itself has no subsidiary that is so licensed, the Company may from time to time
make arrangements with residents or business entities licensed to act on its
behalf in the jurisdiction.

The legality of the Company's operations depends on the continuing retention
and validity of the licenses under which it operates and on compliance with a
diverse and complex regulatory structure. The Company's licenses may not be
readily transferable in many jurisdictions. The Company expends significant
amounts of time and money to maintain its licenses and to ensure compliance with
applicable laws and regulations.

Because of its multistate and international operations, in some instances
the Company follows practices which are based upon its interpretation of laws or
regulations or upon the interpretation generally followed by the industry.
However, such interpretations may be in conflict with those of regulatory
authorities. Therefore, the possibility exists that the Company may be precluded
or temporarily suspended from continuing its business or otherwise penalized in
a given jurisdiction.

At December 31, 1995, the Company had approximately 11,900 employees. The
Company considers relations with its employees to be satisfactory.
