Through June 30, 2004 announced agency transactions totaled 117, representing 64 percent of the total announced deals reported for 2003.

It remains clear that this accelerated pace of consolidation should continue into the foreseeable future.

This projected transaction total is higher than any other period dating back prior to 2000.
