METAMOR WORLDWIDE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL
The consolidated financial statements of Metamor Worldwide, Inc. and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Company") included herein have been prepared
without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been omitted. The Company believes that the
presentations and disclosures herein are adequate to make the information not
misleading. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation
of the interim periods.
The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. These
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's audited consolidated financial statements included in its Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.
2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Discontinued operations consist of the Company's commercial staffing
unit, which was sold in July 1998 and its software solutions and project support
units, which were sold in the third quarter of 1999. Proceeds from the sales of
these units were used to pay down borrowings under the Company's senior credit
facility. The operating results and net assets of these units (including prior
periods) are reflected in the accompanying financial statements as discontinued
operations. Net assets of discontinued operations consisted of accounts
receivable, fixed assets, intangibles and liabilities to be transferred to the
buyer.
Revenues from discontinued operations were $115.1 million and $131.1
million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively,
and $366.4 million and $613.5 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 and 1998, respectively. Income from discontinued operations includes an
allocation of interest expense based on net assets of the business units
included in continuing and discontinued operations. Interest expense of $3.3
million and $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively, and interest expense of $8.5 million and $9.9 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, was allocated to
discontinued operations. Income taxes on income from discontinued operations
were $2.2 million and $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999
and 1998, respectively, and $8.4 million and $13.0 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
In July 1998, the Company sold its commercial staffing unit to The
Corporate Services Group PLC for $250 million, plus excess working capital of
approximately $11 million. A gain of $57.3 million ($25.5 million after tax) was
recognized on the sale in 1998.
The software solutions unit was sold to GTCR Fund VI, L.P. for cash of
$75.5 million, preferred stock of $20.5 million in the unit and 2.7 million
common shares in the unit, representing approximately ten percent of the
outstanding shares. The preferred stock bears interest at ten percent and had an
estimated fair value at the date of sale of $14.5 million. A loss of $0.4
million ($0.3 million after tax) was recognized on the sale in the third quarter
of 1999.
The project support unit was sold to a group of investors led by GTCR
Fund VI, L.P. and First Union Capital Partners. Purchase consideration totaled
$305 million in cash, subject to certain working capital adjustments, plus up to
an additional $20 million in contingent consideration if certain levels of
profitability in 2000 are achieved. A gain of $14.5 million ($10.9 million after
tax) was recognized on the sale in the third quarter of 1999.

3. INCOME TAXES
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under
this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on
differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the
differences are expected to reverse. The Company's interim provisions for income
taxes were computed using its estimated effective tax rate for the year.
4. ACQUISITIONS
All acquisitions made by the Company have been accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the results of operations of the
acquired businesses are included in the Company's consolidated results of
operations from the date of acquisition. Summary information on the businesses
acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 follows:

(1) These acquisitions are included in net assets held for sale and the
related results of operations have been reported as discontinued
operations (See Note 2).
In February 1999, the Company acquired 42 percent of the common stock
of Decan Groupe ("Decan"), a publicly held, French-based business, and
instituted a cash tender offer for the remaining shares. In April, the Company
completed the tender offer and at September 30, 1999, owned 98.6 percent of
Decan's common stock and 95.1 percent of its convertible notes. The purchase
consideration for Decan totaled approximately $155.7 million, consisting of
$149.4 million in cash and 0.2 million shares of the Company's common stock
valued at $6.3 million. In connection with the issuance of the Company's common
stock, the Company received a note from a selling shareholder of Decan. The note
totals approximately $3.1 million and is secured by the issued common stock. The
note bears interest at 7 percent and is due March 2001.
In March 1999, the Company acquired GE Capital Consulting, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of GE Capital Corporation, for approximately $117.3
million, consisting of $52.0 million in cash and 1.2 million shares of the
Company's common stock (the "Issued Stock") valued at $65.3 million. The Issued
Stock is subject to a price guarantee which provides that if its fair market
value, as defined, is less than $65.3 million as of March 2004, the Company will
pay the sellers, in cash or stock, the differential. The guarantee will be
adjusted for any Issued Stock sold prior to the measurement date.

METAMOR WORLDWIDE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
In September 1999, the Company acquired Kinderhook Systems, Inc. for
$24 million, consisting of $14.9 million in cash and $9.1 million in
subordinated convertible notes of Xpedior Incorporated ("Xpedior"), the
Company's eBusiness services unit. The notes bear interest at 7.0 percent and
are convertible into common stock of Xpedior, at the option of the holders, at
the initial public offering price during a 30-day period after the earlier of
the distribution of Xpedior stock by Metamor or the second anniversary of an
initial public offering (see Note 10). The notes are guaranteed by the Company
until the completion of the initial public offering.
In certain transactions, the sellers of the acquired businesses are
entitled to contingent consideration ("Earnouts") based on the post-acquisition
increase in earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT"), as defined. During the
nine months ended September 30, 1999, Earnouts of $89.6 million were paid to
sellers. At September 30, 1999, the maximum contractual amount of Earnouts based
on future increases in EBIT totaled $161.8 million. The payment of any
contingent consideration will increase goodwill.
The following results of operations have been prepared assuming the
acquisitions made through September 30, 1999, occurred as of the beginning of
the periods presented. The pro forma operating results are not necessarily
indicative of future operating results nor of results that would have occurred
had the acquisitions been consummated as of the beginning of the periods
presented.

5. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
On June 30, 1999, the Company entered into a $50 million Term Loan
Agreement (the "Term Loan") with certain banks in its Senior Credit Agreement.
Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest, at the Company's option, at LIBOR
plus 3 percent or the bank's base rate plus 1.75 percent. The Term Loan was
terminated upon completion of the sale of the Company's software solutions
business.
6. LONG-TERM DEBT
Under its Senior Credit Agreement (the "Agreement"), the Company may
borrow the lesser of $225 million or 3.5 times Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA
(earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization of all
acquired businesses for the preceding twelve-month period). The Agreement
contains certain covenants which, among other things, limit total debt to 5.25
times Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA, limit the payment of dividends and require the
maintenance of certain financial ratios. The Agreement is secured by a pledge of
the
8
<PAGE> 9

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
stock of the Company's material subsidiaries. A fee of 0.175 percent to 0.375
percent is payable on the unused portion of the commitment.
As of September 30, 1999, the Company had $60.2 million of outstanding
borrowings under the Agreement and remaining availability (after deducting
outstanding letters of credit of $1.1 million) of $163.7 million. Borrowings
under the Agreement bear interest, at the Company's option, at LIBOR or the
bank's base rate, plus the applicable margin. The weighted average interest rate
of the Company's outstanding borrowings under the Agreement was 6.9 percent at
September 30, 1999.
7. COMMON STOCK
Under terms of a share repurchase program approved by the Board of
Directors, the Company purchased 0.4 million shares of common stock during the
nine months ended September 30, 1999, at an average price per share of $14.46.

price of the common shares. The effects of the conversion of the 2.94%
convertible subordinated notes were anti-dilutive to the income from continuing
operations for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and the nine months
ended September 30, 1999.
9. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company's continuing operations are comprised of five separate
service units. For segment reporting purposes, these units are aggregated and
reported as a single segment as they have very similar operational
characteristics, growth rates and margins. Services provided by these units
include application development and maintenance, systems integration and network
design and implementation.
The Company has both domestic and foreign operations. As of September
30, 1999, the foreign operations had total assets of $193.7 million and had
total revenues of $62.0 million for the nine months then ended.
10. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On October 18, 1999, the Company filed a registration statement with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on form S-1 covering the sale of up to
8.5 million shares of Xpedior to the public (9.8 million shares assuming the
underwriters over-allotment option is fully exercised). Proceeds from the sale
will be used to repay amounts due to the Company from Xpedior and for general
working capital purposes of Xpedior.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
INTRODUCTION
Since its inception in July 1993, the Company's growth has been the
result of acquisitions of businesses and internal growth. All acquisitions
completed by the Company have been accounted for as purchases. Accordingly, the
historical Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company include the
operating results of the acquired businesses from the date of acquisition.
As a result of the strategic repositioning of the Company to focus
exclusively on its core solutions business, the Company sold its staffing
services business in 1998 and its project support and software solutions
businesses in the third quarter of 1999. The operating results of these
businesses (including prior periods) are reflected in the historical
Consolidated Financial Statements as discontinued operations.

Earnings per share (diluted) - continuing operations $ 0.17 $ 0.16
</TABLE>
SUMMARY. Income from continuing operations for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 was $5.7 million, or $0.17 per share, compared with $5.4
million, or $0.16 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 1998.
Revenues for the current quarter increased 60 percent to $152.8 million, up from
$95.7 million in the third quarter of 1998. This increase was the result of
strong internal growth, as well as the effects of acquisitions made after the
third quarter of 1998. All acquisitions made by the Company were purchases and,
accordingly, the operating results of the acquired businesses are included in
the consolidated results from the date of acquisition.
Gross profit for the current quarter increased 54 percent to $60.8
million. This improvement is the result of the increase in revenues. Gross
margin for the current quarter was 39.7 percent compared with 41.2 percent in
the third quarter of 1998. The decline in gross margin primarily resulted from
acquisitions of businesses that had lower gross margins than the Company's
consolidated margin for the third quarter of 1998 and lower utilization in
certain business units. On a pro forma basis, which assumes all acquisitions
were completed as of the beginning of the periods presented, gross margin for
the current quarter was 40.1 percent, compared with 40.9 percent for the third
quarter of 1998. This decline reflected lower utilization in certain business
units as a result of deferrals of major contracts.
Operating income for the three months ended September 30, 1999
increased 48 percent to $15.5 million, up from $10.5 million in the same period
of 1998. The operating margin for the current quarter was 10.1 percent compared
with 11.0 percent for the third quarter of 1998. The lower margin primarily
related to higher amortization related to recent acquisitions and additional
investments in Xpedior Incorporated ("Xpedior"), the Company's eBusiness
services unit, to position it as a free-standing, publicly held company and in
the Company's enterprise solutions unit to develop its application support
capabilities. On a pro forma basis, the consolidated operating margin was 10.0
11
<PAGE> 12
percent, up from 9.9 percent for the third quarter of 1998. This improvement
reflected higher operating leverage in most of the business units and an $0.8
million adjustment to a litigation reserve following an appeals court reversal
of a jury award.
OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSES. Selling, general and administrative
("SG&A") expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1999 totaled $39.0
million, compared with $26.5 million for the three months ended September 30,
1998. The increase in SG&A expenses primarily related to (i) the effects of the
acquisitions, (ii) internal growth of the operating companies post-acquisition,
(iii) investments made to improve infrastructure and to develop technical
practices, (iv) investments in Xpedior and in the Company's enterprise solutions
unit and (v) higher expenses at the corporate level to support growth.
Depreciation totaled $2.6 million and $1.3 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The increase primarily related
to the fixed assets of the businesses acquired and, to a lesser extent, capital
expenditures. Amortization of $3.7 million and $1.1 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, related to amortization of
intangible assets of the acquired businesses.
NON-OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSES. Interest expense totaled $9.6 million
and $3.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. Interest expense was allocated between continuing operations and
discontinued operations based on net assets of the respective business units.
Interest expense from continuing operations for the current quarter totaled $6.3
million compared with $1.8 million for 1998.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes for the
current quarter was $4.1 million, compared with $3.9 million for 1998. The
Company's effective tax rate of 42 percent includes the effects of state income
taxes and the portion of goodwill amortization not deductible for federal income
tax purposes.

</TABLE>
SUMMARY. Income from continuing operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 was $16.7 million, or $0.49 per share, compared with $12.6
million, or $0.37 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. Net
income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, included one-time charges
of $2.2 million, or $0.04 per share after tax, that were incurred in the first
quarter. The charges related to costs incurred in connection with a terminated
merger and severance paid to an executive of the Company.
Revenues for the nine months increased 76 percent to $428.6 million, up
from $243.5 million in the third quarter of 1998. This increase was the result
of strong internal growth, as well as the effects of acquisitions made since the
third quarter of 1998. All acquisitions made by the Company were purchases and,
accordingly, the operating results of the acquired businesses are included in
the consolidated results from the date of acquisition.
Gross profit for the nine months increased 77 percent to $174.7
million. This improvement related to the 76 percent increase in revenues and an
expansion in gross margin. Gross margin for the first nine months was 40.8
percent, up from 40.5 percent in 1998.
12
<PAGE> 13
During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company recorded
one-time charges of $2.2 million, or $0.04 per share after income tax.
Approximately $1.1 million of the charges related to costs incurred in
connection with the proposed merger with SPR Inc. The merger was terminated in
March 1999 and the costs were primarily for outside legal and accounting
services. The remainder of the one-time charges related to severance paid under
terms of an employment agreement to the former president of the Company's
project support business.
Operating income before one-time charges for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 increased 77 percent to $46.8 million, up from $26.4 million
in the same period of 1998. The operating margin for the nine months was 10.4
percent compared with 10.8 percent for the same period in 1998. The decline in
margin primarily related to amortization of goodwill related to recent
acquisitions. On a pro forma basis, the consolidated operating margin was 10.1
percent, up from 9.5 percent for the first nine months of 1998. This improvement
reflected pro forma gross margin expansion, higher operating leverage in most of
the business units and an $0.8 million adjustment to a litigation reserve
following an appeals court reversal of a jury award.
OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSES. Selling, general and administrative
("SG&A") expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 totaled $114.9
million, compared with $66.0 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1998. The increase in SG&A expenses primarily related to (i) the effects of the
acquisitions, (ii) internal growth of the operating companies post-acquisition,
(iii) investments made to improve infrastructure and to develop technical
practices, (iv) investments in Xpedior and in the Company's enterprise solutions
unit and (v) higher expenses at the corporate level to support growth.
Depreciation totaled $7.2 million and $3.3 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Amortization of $8.1 million
and $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 1999 and 1998,
respectively, related to amortization of intangible assets of the acquired
businesses.
NON-OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSES. Interest expense totaled $23.5
million and $15.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. Interest expense was allocated between continuing operations and
discontinued operations based on net assets of the respective business units.
Interest expense from continuing operations totaled $15.0 million and $5.3
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes for the nine
months ended September 1999 was $12.1 million, compared with $9.1 million for
1998. The Company's effective tax rate of 42 percent includes the effects of
state income taxes and the portion of goodwill amortization not deductible for
federal income tax purposes.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's capital requirements have principally related to the
acquisition of businesses, working capital needs and capital expenditures. These
requirements have been met through a combination of bank debt, issuances of
securities and internally generated funds.
During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company made cash
payments for acquisitions of approximately $325 million. These payments were
comprised of (i) $235.7 million paid to sellers of businesses acquired in 1999
and (ii) $89.6 million of post-closing purchase consideration ("Earnouts") paid
to sellers based on the post-acquisition increase in earnings before interest
and taxes ("EBIT"), as defined. The remaining Earnouts are capped at $161.8
million and are generally tied to operating performance for the full year 1999
and 2000. Based on current growth rates and operating trends, the Company
estimates the remaining Earnouts will be approximately $71.9 million. The
majority of these Earnouts are expected to be paid in the first half of 2000.
The Company expects to fund the payment of the Earnouts out of borrowings under
its Senior Credit Agreement.
Capital expenditures totaled $37.9 million and $23.6 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The majority of
these expenditures related to (i) development of information systems for the
staffing service and project support businesses, which were included with the
sales of those businesses, (ii) computer equipment and software for technical
consultants and (iii) furniture, fixtures and equipment related to business
expansion.
13
<PAGE> 14
The Company estimates that capital expenditures for the remainder of
1999 will be approximately $10 million. The remaining planned capital
expenditures for 1999 are normal recurring items necessary to support business
expansion and the anticipated growth in the number of technical consultants. The
Company expects to fund these capital expenditures primarily out of borrowings
under its Senior Credit Agreement.
The Company had working capital of $93.5 million and $7.8 million at
September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company had cash and cash
equivalents of $10.3 million and $27.6 million at September 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. The Company's operating cash flows and working capital
requirements are significantly affected by the timing of payroll and the receipt
of payment from the customer. Cash flows provided by (used in) operating
activities were $(36.9) million and $21.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
In March 1999, the Company reinstated its stock repurchase program and
since that time has repurchased approximately 0.4 million shares of common stock
at an average price per share of $14.46. Under terms of the program, the Company
can expend an additional $26.0 million to repurchase shares or its convertible
notes.
Under terms of the Company's Senior Credit Agreement, the Company may
borrow under its revolving credit facility the lesser of $225 million or 3.5
times Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes,
depreciation and amortization of all acquired businesses for the preceding
twelve-month period). Borrowings under the facility bear interest, at the
Company's option, at LIBOR or the bank's base rate, plus the applicable margin.
A fee of 0.175 percent to 0.375 percent is payable on the unused portion of the
commitment. The Senior Credit Agreement contains certain covenants which, among
other things, limit total debt to 5.25 times Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA, limit
the payment of dividends and require the maintenance of certain financial
ratios.
As of September 30, 1999, the Company had outstanding borrowings under
the Senior Credit Agreement of $60.2 million and remaining availability (after
deducting outstanding letters of credit of $1.1 million) of $163.7 million. The
weighted average interest rate of the Company's outstanding borrowings under the
Senior Credit Agreement was 6.9 percent at September 30, 1999.
On June 30, 1999, the Company entered into a $50 million Term Loan
Agreement (the "Term Loan") with certain banks in its Senior Credit Agreement.
Under terms of the agreement, the Company may borrow up to $50 million.
Borrowings under the agreement bear interest, at the Company's option, at LIBOR
plus 3 percent or the bank's base rate plus 1.75 percent. The Term Loan was
terminated upon completion of the sale of the Company's software solutions
business.
In 1999, the Company's management and Board of Directors approved a
plan covering the sale of its project support and software solutions units and
the sale to the public of up to 20 percent of the common shares of Xpedior. On
August 6, 1999, the Company completed the sale of its software solutions unit.
The cash proceeds of approximately $76 million were used to repay all
outstanding borrowings under its term loan agreement and the remainder was used
to paydown borrowings under its Senior Credit Agreement. On September 30, 1999,
the Company completed the sale of its project support unit. The cash proceeds of
approximately $305 million were used to repay borrowings under its Senior Credit
Agreement.
On October 18, 1999, the Company's eBusiness subsidiary, Xpedior, filed
a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on form S-1
covering the sale of up to 8.5 million shares to the public (9.8 million shares
assuming the underwriters over-allotment option is fully exercised). Proceeds
from the sale will be used to repay amounts due to the Company from Xpedior and
for general working capital purposes of Xpedior.
The Company's capital requirements, which include funding for its
acquisition program, are dependent upon the number, quality and pricing of the
acquisition opportunities and its capital availability. Although the Company
believes it will be able to maintain a moderately-sized acquisition program, a
significantly larger program would require capital over and above its senior
borrowing capacity, as noted above. Although management believes
14
<PAGE> 15
that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient capital to fund acquisitions,
there can be no assurance that such capital will be available to the Company at
the time it is required or on terms acceptable to the Company.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written
using two digits rather than four digits to define the applicable year. Any of
the Company's computer programs or hardware that have date-sensitive software or
embedded chips may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the
year 2000. This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing
disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability
to process transactions, send invoices, or engage in similar normal business
activities.
Based on assessments performed in 1998, the Company determined that it
will be required to modify, replace or delete portions of its software and
hardware so that those systems will properly utilize dates beyond December 31,
1999. The Company currently believes that, with modifications of existing
software and hardware, the Year 2000 issue can be mitigated. However, if such
modifications and replacements are not made, or are not completed timely, the
Year 2000 issue could have a material adverse impact on the operations of the
Company.
The Company's plan to resolve the Year 2000 issue involves the
following four phases: assessment, remediation, testing and implementation. To
date, the Company has completed its assessment of all critical systems that
could be significantly affected by the Year 2000. Based on this assessment, the
Company has selected Year 2000 compliant software and hardware to replace
certain systems that are not Year 2000 compliant.
For its information technology exposures, the Company is 100 percent
complete on the remediation phase and has substantially completed its
reprogramming and replacement efforts. The Company has substantially completed
the testing and implementation of its internal systems and expects to be fully
compliant during the fourth quarter of 1999.
The Company has completed its initial assessment of key vendors,
customers and other parties to assess the impact, if any, on the Company's
business operations. The Company has not encountered any material Year 2000
compliance issues. However, the Company will continue to assess new
relationships formed with key vendors, customers and other parties. The Company
has not incurred and does not expect to incur significant costs related to Year
2000 issues other than the time of internal personnel to complete the Company's
Year 2000 plans.
Management believes that it has an effective program in place to
resolve the Year 2000 issue in a timely manner. As noted above, the Company has
not yet completed all phases of the Year 2000 program. In the event that the
Company does not complete any additional phases, the Company would be unable to
service and invoice customers or collect payments in a timely manner. In
addition, disruptions in the economy generally resulting from Year 2000 issues
could also materially adversely affect the Company. The Company could be subject
to litigation for computer systems product failure. The amount of potential
liability and lost revenue cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
The Company has contingency plans for certain critical applications and
is working on such plans for others. These contingency plans involve, among
other actions, manual workarounds and adjusting staffing strategies. Manual
workarounds would consist of preparing billings and cash disbursements from hard
copy source documents, which are currently maintained by the Company.
SEASONALITY
The Company's quarterly operating results are affected by the number of
billing days, consultants' vacations and paid time off and the seasonality of
its customers' businesses. Demand for services in the IT services business is
typically lower during the first quarter until customers' operating budgets are
finalized and the productivity of the Company's salaried technical consultants
is lower in the third and fourth quarters due to fewer billing days because of
the higher number of holidays and vacation days.

INFLATION
The effects of inflation on the Company's operations were not
significant during the periods presented in the financial statements.
STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements and information that
are based on management's beliefs, as well as assumptions made by, and
information currently available to, management. All statements and information
relating to the Company, other than statements of historical fact, are
forward-looking statements. When used in this document, the words "believe,"
"anticipate," "will," "should," "would," "estimate," "project," "expect," and
similar expressions, and the negative thereof, are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that the expectations
reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no
assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Such
statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should
one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying
assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those
anticipated, estimated, projected or expected. Among the key factors that may
have a direct bearing on the Company's operating results are fluctuations in the
economy, the degree and nature of competition, demand for the Company's
services, and the Company's ability to acquire businesses that are accretive to
earnings, to integrate the operations of acquired businesses, to recruit and
place temporary professionals, to expand into new markets, to complete fixed
price agreements in accordance with their terms and to maintain profit margins
in the face of pricing pressures. In addition, important factors that could
cause results to differ materially are set forth under the caption "Risk
Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1998.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
