ITEM 2

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

General

     Carnegie Group, Inc. ("Carnegie Group" or the "Company") provides
client/server software development services that integrate advanced software
technologies with clients' existing computing infrastructures to automate and
enhance complex business processes. The Company focuses on performing software
development, systems integration and technical consulting services to create
knowledge-intensive software solutions that improve its clients' productivity
and competitive market position in three business areas: customer contact;
customer service; and logistics, planning and scheduling. Carnegie Group
targets its services to clients in the telecommunications, financial services,
manufacturing, defense and healthcare industries.

     The Company's expertise encompasses a wide range of advanced software
technologies, including knowledge-based systems, object-oriented technology,
advanced graphical user interfaces, constraint-directed search and distributed
computing. The Company captures certain aspects of its business area experience
and advanced technology expertise in a portfolio of reusable software templates
that can be used as building blocks to create software solutions quickly and
effectively. In addition, Carnegie Group employs an iterative or "spiral"
approach to software design that begins with the construction of a prototype
and continues through testing of successive versions of the software against
project requirements. This iterative design facilitates rapid software
development, encourages client feedback and leads to greater congruence with
client needs and expectations.

     Since inception, Carnegie Group has emphasized relationships with leading
corporations in its targeted industries. These relationships have provided the
Company with opportunities for growth through the provision of additional
services to existing clients and through references to other companies within
the Company's targeted industries. Carnegie Group's clients include U S WEST
Communications, Inc., the United States Transportation Command, Caterpillar
Inc., the U.S. Army, BellSouth Telecommunications, Inc., First USA Bank, Ford
Motor Company and Blue Cross of Western Pennsylvania.

     The Company only includes in backlog signed contracts that either have
milestones yet to be attained or for which the Company can make a reasonable
estimate of work yet to be performed. The Company's backlog was $14.1 million
at March 31, 1996 compared to $9.6 million at March 31, 1995.  Backlog at March
31, 1996 decreased from backlog of $18.7 million at December 31, 1995,
reflecting the renegotiation of a large fixed-price contract with a major
customer, which partially offset new bookings for the quarter.  As most of the
contracts in backlog are terminable by the Company or the client upon short
notice, there can be no assurance that contracts reflected in backlog are a
reliable measure of future revenue.

COMPARISON OF QUARTERS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND MARCH 31, 1995.

     Revenue.  Total revenue was $8.3 million in the first quarter of 1996
compared to $6.1 million in the first quarter of 1995, an increase of 
$2.2 million or 37.5%.  This growth resulted principally from volume increases 
in sales of software services.

     Total software services revenue was $8.2 million in the first quarter of
1996 compared to $6.0 million in the first quarter of 1995, an increase of $2.2
million or 37.5%. This increase was primarily attributable to an extension of a
logistics, planning and scheduling engagement for a defense industry client and
the commencement of a customer contact engagement for a new client in the
telecommunications industry.  Revenue from software services-unrelated parties
was $7.4 million in the first quarter of 1996 compared to $4.6 million in the
first quarter of 1995, an increase of $2.8 million or 62.9%. This increase was
primarily attributable to the extension of a logistics, planning and scheduling
engagement and the commencement of a customer contact engagement, both of which
are described above. A portion of the increase was also attributable to the
enlargement of the scope of a customer services engagement for a manufacturing
industry client. Revenue from software services-related parties was $.8 million
in the first quarter of 1996 compared to $1.4 million in the first quarter of
1995, a decrease of $.6 million or 45.9%. This decrease was primarily
attributable to the completion of customer contact engagements for a
telecommunications industry client.

     Revenue from software licenses was $130,000 in the first quarter of 1996
compared to $93,000 in the first quarter of 1995, an increase of $37,000 or
38.9%. This increase was attributable to an increase in revenue from licenses
of the Company's TestBench template.

     Cost of Revenue.  Cost of revenue consists primarily of salaries and
related benefits for personnel, and also includes an allocated portion of rent,
building services and computer equipment services and expenses. Total cost of
revenue was $5.1 million in the first quarter of 1996, compared to $3.8 million
in the first quarter of 1995, an increase of $1.3 million or 34.1%.  This
increase was primarily attributable to additional professional staff hired to
perform the increased volume of software services. Total cost of revenue was
60.8% of total revenue in the first quarter of 1996, compared to 62.4% of total
revenue in the first quarter of 1995. This percentage decrease was primarily
attributable to increased productivity of professional staff and lower company
fixed costs as a percentage of total revenue.  Cost of revenue-unrelated
parties was $4.7 million in the first quarter of 1996 compared to $3.1 million
in 1995, an increase of $1.6 million or 51.1%. This increase was primarily
attributable to additional professional staff hired or reassigned to perform
the increased volume of software services.  Cost of revenue-related parties was
$.4 million in the first quarter of 1996 compared to $.7 million in the first
quarter of 1995, a decrease of $.3 million or 45.4%. This decrease was
primarily attributable to the reallocation of professional staff to provide
additional software services to unrelated parties following the completion of
customer contact engagements for a telecommunications industry client.

     Research and Development.  Research and development expenses were $179,000
in the first quarter of 1996 compared to $154,000 in the first quarter of 1995,
an increase of $25,000 or 16.4%.  This increase was primarily due to product
development related to the TestBench template.

     Selling, General and Administrative.  Selling, general and administrative
expenses include costs of proposal development and proposal writing, marketing
communications and advertising, sales and management staff, and corporate
services functions including accounting, human resources and legal services,
along with corporate executive staff. Selling, general and administrative
expenses were $2.1 million in the first quarter of 1996 compared to $1.6
million in the first quarter of 1995, an increase of $.6 million or 37.8%. This
dollar increase resulted primarily from increases in sales and marketing
expenses to support growth in the Company's total revenue.


                                   8
<PAGE>   9

These expenses increased slightly as a percentage of total revenue from 25.6% 
in the first quarter of 1995 to 25.7% in the first quarter of 1996.

     Other Income (Expense).  Other income (expense) was $148,000 in the first
quarter of 1996 compared to $9,000 in the first quarter of 1995, an increase of
$139,000 or 1,538.4%.  This increase was due primarily to interest income
earned on net proceeds received in December, 1995 from the Company's initial
public offering, which were invested in an interest-bearing account.

     Income Tax Provision.  An income tax provision of $409,000 was recorded in
the first quarter of 1996. The effective income tax rate in the first quarter
of 1996 was higher than the effective income tax rate in the first quarter of
1995 as a result of the Company's current estimate of the deferred tax asset
believed more likely than not to be realized.

     SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," requires a valuation
allowance when it is "more likely than not that some portion or all of the
deferred tax assets will not be realized." It further states that "forming a
conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed is difficult when there is
negative evidence such as cumulative losses in recent years."  The ultimate
realization of its deferred income tax asset depends on the Company's ability
to generate sufficient taxable income in the future.  The Company has weighed
the negative objective evidence of recent results and dependence upon limited
number of customers, as well as other risk factors on the one hand, and the
positive subjective evidence of future expectations, on the other hand, and has
concluded that losses in recent years and other risk factors make it
appropriate to record a valuation allowance.  This reflects the Company's
conclusion under SFAS 109 as to the portion of the deferred tax asset expected
not to be realized in light of that standard's requirement to give greater
weight to the more objective evidence.

     In estimating the amount of its realizable deferred tax asset, the Company
gives substantial weight to recent historical results.  Significant changes in
circumstances or in enacted tax laws which affect the valuation allowance are
recorded when they occur.  The Company's annual strategic business planning
process takes place in the fourth quarter of the year, and the valuation
allowance is adjusted for future years' income expectations resulting from that
process.  When preparing subsequent interim and annual financial statements,
the Company reevaluates whether there has been any significant change in the
assumptions underlying its plan and adjusts the valuation allowance as
necessary.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company has funded its operations in recent years primarily through
cash generated from operations and the use of cash reserves. In 1995 the
Company also funded its operations in part through borrowing under available
lines of credit and through the net proceeds of the initial public offering of
its Common Stock consummated in December 1995.

     During the first quarter of 1996, the Company had a net use of cash of
$155,000, working capital increased in accounts receivable and property and
equipment to support business growth.

     The Company experienced growth in revenue earned but not yet billed, and
consequently an increase in the number of days' revenue in accounts receivable
for the quarter ended March 31, 1996.  Invoicing of amounts to clients
generally occurs within 45 days of time and materials cost incurrence, unless a
specific schedule is agreed upon, and payment follows invoicing in accordance
with customary terms.  The Company has not experienced any significant
write-downs of receivables, nor does the Company expect that payments are
doubtful; accordingly, the Company has not made any allowance for doubtful
accounts.

     Advance billings and deferred revenue increased at March 31, 1996 when
compared to December 31, 1995.  The increase reflects billings in advance of
revenue earned, but which were billed in accordance with established or agreed
billings schedules.  These amounts are recorded as deferred revenue until
earned.  The timing and magnitude of such advance billings vary from contract
to contract and from client to client.

     The Company currently has a committed line of credit agreement in the
amount of $3.0 million in place with PNC Bank, N.A. (the "Bank"), and a
discretionary line of credit agreement in the amount of $500,000 in place with
the Bank, both of which expire June 30, 1996. Borrowings under these agreements
are collateralized by accounts receivable. These lines of credit bear interest
at the Bank's prime interest rate plus 0.75% per annum, and the Bank charges a
0.25% fee per annum on the unused portion of the committed line of credit. The
Bank's prime interest rate was 8.5% at both March 31, 1996 and December 31,
1995.  Availability of $3.0 million of the funds under the committed line of
credit is also subject to the Company's compliance with certain covenants
customary with commercial loans, including covenants related to maintenance of
certain levels of working capital and tangible net worth.  The $500,000 under
the discretionary line of credit is available at the discretion of the Bank. No
borrowings were outstanding against the committed line of credit or the
discretionary line of credit at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995.

     The Company believes that the net proceeds from the sale of Common Stock
in the Company's initial public offering, together with cash balances, cash
generated from operations and borrowing available under its lines of credit,
will satisfy the Company's working capital and capital expenditure requirements
during fiscal year 1996 and the foreseeable period thereafter. In the longer
term, the Company may require additional sources of liquidity to fund future
growth. Such sources of liquidity may include additional equity offerings or
debt financings. Capital expenditures are typically made for computing
equipment, software, physical plant, and furniture and fixtures in order to
seek enhancements in the productivity of the Company's employees and to support
growth.

     In the normal course of business, the Company evaluates acquisitions of
businesses, products and technologies that complement the Company's business.
The Company has no present plans, intentions, understandings, commitments or
agreements, nor is it currently engaged in any negotiations, with respect to
any such transaction. However, the Company may acquire businesses, products or
technologies in the future.

                                  INTRODUCTION


This agreement covers efforts to be performed by CGI from March 1, 1996 through
September 6, 1996 for U S WEST in support of the Call Handling/Front End Screen
& Route (FES&R) project. The overall Call Handling/FES&R project is being
undertaken by U S WEST to deliver two system deployments: Phase I in February
1996, which has been delivered, and Phase II in July 1996. The deliverables
covered by this agreement are in support of both the Phase I and Phase II
deployments, however because of the time period covered, most of the
deliverables are in support of the Phase II Deployment.

The Call Handling Project Scope was defined in a Memorandum from Rod Morgan,
Technologies Project Manager, Call Handling dated September 5, 1995 and is
attached for reference to this agreement.  CGI used this memorandum and the
Functional Requirements: Call Handling Capabilities document dated October 5,
1995 to estimate this agreement.  Any changes to the Project Scope or the
Functional Requirements would require Change Orders to this agreement.

                                 PROJECTED COST

The total cost of the work to be performed will be $ [           ] based on
estimated time and materials.  No travel is anticipated.  Should travel become
a necessity for the project, U S WEST agrees to pay CGI travel expenses for
all pre-approved trips.

It is planned that U S WEST will provide the majority of the platforms and
software for the project work environment and CGI will work at the U S WEST
site.  Because this reflects a cost savings benefit to CGI, a [  ]% Computer &
Facilities discount is included in the project costs.  Work requiring platforms
and software outside of this environment will be requested by U S WEST.  It is
planned that U S WEST will provide availability to the nonstandard items to CGI
for the duration of the project should any be required.

U S WEST may, at its discretion, close the project or the involvement of CGI
resources by providing a written notice to the CGI Program Manager.  If such an
eventuality occurs, the respective resources will be given a ramp down period
of [  ] weeks to find other work.  Upon completion of the [  ] week ramp down
period, U S WEST will be obligated to CGI for the time and materials expended
up to and including the [ ] week ramp down.

Estimated costs for the project are provided below.  Note that the Alliance,
Volume, and Facilities discounts are subtracted from the standard time and
material costs. The Volume discount for this Agreement considers the project as
a whole and applies the costs from previously signed development agreement(s)
with this Agreement when calculating Volume discount.

The following assumptions/dependencies were assumed in creating the above Work
Plans/Schedules and changes in the assumptions/dependencies may effect the
schedule, costs  and deliverables listed in this agreement. CGI, when providing
their monthly project status reports, will identify issues and jeopardies that
are being caused by any of the following assumption/dependencies being
violated, and jeopardies will indicate that, unless the situation is resolved, 
a change order to this agreement will have to be issued because of the 
schedule/cost impacts.


CH/FES&R 35-001-96                                             MARCH 27, 1996
<PAGE>   17
                            ASSUMPTIONS/DEPENDENCIES

The Detailed Design for the CGI Module Extensions for the Phase II Routing
    Engine Release can only be completed by March 18, 1996 if U S WEST provides
    the client SMEs to detail and agree on the detailed functional requirements
    by March 11, 1996.

The Development Environment: Sequent & HP machines, user ids, directory
    structure, SCM tools, database structures and DDL, some data population,
    desks, terminals, etc., must remain stable and available through out the
    Phase II Development process.

Other modules/components not being developed/purchased by CGI must be in place
    and configured by May 6, 1996, for the start date for the Integration
    Testing. These include, but are not limited to: [         ] and new voice
    scripts. It is assumed that Integration Testing will be done using the
    Development Environment.

The system can not be released to System Test until it passes the Integration
    Test (with zero critical problems) and it can not be released to Production
    without first passing System Test and the User Acceptance Testing.

User Acceptance Testing takes place in the System Test Environment. The
    development of the User Acceptance Test Plan and Criteria are the
    responsibility of U S WEST and the Clients.

The System Test Environment must be established and made available by U S WEST
    by May 29, 1996.  Establishment of the Environment is the responsibility of
    the U S WEST System Test Group.

The Production Data, [             ], must be specified and populated by U S
    WEST by July 31, 1996 for Production Release.

The Production Environment must be established and made available by U S WEST
    by July 31, 1996.


CH/FES&R 35-001-96                                             MARCH 27, 1996
<PAGE>   18
Test Plans, Environments, Scenarios and Test Data must be identified by U S
    WEST and in place by the start of the Integration (5/6/96), User Acceptance
    (6/28/96), and System Test (5/29/96) Phases. The Test Data and Scenarios
    are the responsibility of the U S WEST Clients but will be shared by CGI.
    The System Test Plan is the responsibility of the U S WEST System Test
    Group.

The dates for the final production builds for both Phase I & II are dependent
    on the dates that the U S WEST Project Manager sets for the start of each
    phases deployment, which may be sometime after the software has been
    accepted. CGI assumes that this date will be within two weeks after the
    software is accepted.

Additional, specific CGI assumptions include:
    The detailed design and prototyping tasks need to be completed before the
      programming and unit testing tasks can begin.
    Formal technology transfer from CGI to U S WEST will be done in parallel 
      to system and user acceptance testing and production support for the 
      Phase II Release. This requires that the U S WEST engineers who will take
      over support and maintenance of the technology be brought on-board by May
      29, 1996.

12. The Customer Access Experience Scripts and associating routing data need to
    be specified for integration with the routing engine modules.

13. The Account Activity Module is dependant upon extracts from Legacy Systems.

CGI will deliver one copy of each Deliverable to the appropriate U S WEST
Project Manager along with a letter to be mutually signed by the parties,
acknowledging delivery, receipt and acceptance of the Deliverable.  If U S WEST
does not sign and return the letter or provide a written list of the items that
are not in compliance with the project specifications within ten (10) business
days after delivery, then the Deliverable shall be deemed accepted.

In addition, CGI will provide U S WEST with monthly status reports including
blue angels (tasks completed/delivered), issues (yellow status), and jeopardies
(red status), as well as the hours expended by month and to date on specific
task breakdowns. A monthly meeting between CGI and U S WEST will be held to
review the project status and discuss any proposed changes, including
functionality/scope changes that would necessitate a change order being written
against this agreement.
