              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         In the opinion of the management of Carnegie Group, Inc. (the
"Company"), these unaudited consolidated financial statements include all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered
necessary for a fair presentation of operating results for the three month
period ended March 31, 1997. Results for the interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The accompanying
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and therefore do not
include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. Accordingly, the information
contained in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1996 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128 "Earnings Per
Share." SFAS No. 128 establishes new standards for computing and presenting
earnings per share. The Company is required to adopt the provisions of SFAS No.
128 for its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31,
1997 and subsequent interim periods. Upon adoption, the standard also requires
the restatement of all prior period earnings per share information presented.
The adoption of SFAS No. 128 is not expected to have a material effect on the
Company's earnings per share computations or disclosures.

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
user-centered, intelligent software technologies with clients' existing
computing infrastructures to automate and enhance complex business processes.
The Company performs business and technical consulting, custom software
development, and systems integration services to improve clients' productivity
and market position in two business areas: customer interaction; and logistics,
planning and scheduling. Within these areas, the Company targets its services
to clients in the financial services, government, manufacturing and
telecommunications 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, U.S. Army,
Caterpillar Inc., BellSouth Telecommunications, Inc., First USA Bank, Highmark
Blue Cross Blue Shield and Philips Medical Systems.

     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 $17.3 million
at March 31, 1997 compared to $14.1 million at March 31, 1996. Backlog at March
31, 1997 increased from backlog of $9.6 million at December 31, 1996. This
increase reflected large contract closures resulting from expanded business
development capabilities. 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, 1997 and March 31, 1996.

     Revenue. Total revenue was $7.1 million in the first quarter of 1997
compared to $8.3 million in the first quarter of 1996, a decrease of $1.2
million or 14.3%. This decrease resulted principally from volume decreases in
sales of software services.

     Total software services revenue was $6.5 million in the first quarter of
1997 compared to $8.2 million in the first quarter of 1996, a decrease of $1.7
million or 20.6%. A significant fixed-price contract was renegotiated in the
second quarter of 1996. The impact of that renegotiated contract resulted in
lower quarterly revenue and earnings levels for the second, third and fourth
quarters of 1996, and for the first quarter of 1997, but not the first quarter
of 1996. Revenue from software services-unrelated parties was $5.5 million in
the first quarter of 1997 compared to $7.4 million in the first quarter of
1996, a decrease of $1.9 million or 26.1%. This decrease was primarily
attributable to the renegotiated contract described above. Revenue from
software services-related parties increased by 34.2 % to $1.0 million in the
first quarter of 1997 compared to $.8 million in the first quarter of 1996.
This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in customer contact
engagements for a telecommunications industry client.

     Revenue from software licenses was $625,000 in the first quarter of 1997
compared to $130,000 in the first quarter of 1996, an increase of $495,000 or
381.0%. This increase was attributable to increased sales of reusable software
templates.

     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 $4.4 million in the first quarter of 1997, compared to $5.1 million
in the first quarter of 1996, a decrease of $.7 million or 12.7%. This decrease
was primarily attributable to a decrease in the cost of consultant labor. Cost
of revenue-unrelated parties was $3.8 million in the first quarter of 1997
compared to $ 4.7 million in 1996, a decrease of $.9 million or 18.4%. This
decrease was primarily attributable to the decreased volume of software
services performed.  Cost of revenue-related parties was $.6 million in the
first quarter of 1997 compared to $.4 million in the first quarter of 1996, an
increase of $.2 million or 60.5%. This increase was primarily attributable to
an increase in customer contact engagements for a telecommunications industry
client.

     Research and Development. Research and development expenses were $358,000
in the first quarter of 1997 compared to $179,000 in the first quarter of 1996,
an increase of $179,000 or 99.8%. This increase was primarily due to the
Company's decision to increase the investment in template and methodology
development.

     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 $1.9 million in the first quarter of 1997 compared to $2.1
million in the first quarter of 1996, a decrease of $.2 million or 12.1%.

                                       8

     Other Income (Expense). Other income (expense) was $167,000 in the first
quarter of 1997 compared to $148,000 in the first quarter of 1996, an increase
of $19,000 or 12.2%. This income primarily represents interest income earned on
net proceeds received in December 1995 from the Company's initial public
offering, which remain invested in an interest-bearing account.

     Income Tax Provision. An income tax provision of $257,000 was recorded in
the first quarter of 1997, based on the Company's estimate of the effective tax
rate for the year.

     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 the Company's deferred income tax asset depends on its ability
to generate sufficient taxable income in the future. The Company has weighed
the positive evidence of sustained profitability over the last three years and
future income expectations within the Company's three year strategic planning
horizon against the negative evidence of dependence upon a limited number of
customers and other uncertainties and has concluded that retaining a valuation
allowance related to net operating losses is no longer necessary.

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

     During the first quarter of 1997, the Company generated $359,000 in
positive cash flow from its operating activities. Overall, the Company had a
net use of cash of $296,000. The net use of cash resulted from a significant
investment in capital equipment. In the first quarter of 1997, capital
expenditures totaled $651,000.

     The Company's net accounts receivable decreased by $139,000 for the
quarter ended March 31, 1997. 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 $31,000 at March 31, 1997
when compared to December 31, 1996. Advanced billings and deferred revenue
balances will normally change from period to period. Any increase reflects
billings in advance of revenue earned, but which were billed in accordance with
established or agreed billing 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 $3.5 million in place with PNC Bank, N.A. (the "Bank"). Borrowings
under this agreement are collateralized by accounts receivable. The line of
credit bears interest at the Bank's prime interest rate and the Bank charges a
0.15% fee per annum on the unused portion of that line of credit. The Bank's
prime interest rate was 8.50% at March 31, 1997 compared to 8.25% at December
31, 1996. No borrowings were outstanding against the line of credit at March
31, 1997 or December 31, 1996.

     The Company believes that its current cash balances, together with cash
generated from operations and borrowing available under its line of credit,
will satisfy the Company's working capital and capital expenditure requirements
during fiscal year 1997 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.

                                  INTRODUCTION
                                  ------------

This Agreement covers efforts to be performed by CGI from January 1, 1997
through December 31, 1997 for U S WEST in support of enhancements to the Call
Handling Front End Screen & Route (FES&R) project. The overall Call Handling
project is being undertaken by U S WEST to deliver several system deployments:

*   Load Balance I
*   Load Balance II
*   Voice Over Data (Screen Pop) for 5ESS
*   Voice Over Data (Screen Pop) for DMS
*   Activity-based Routing

The deliverables covered by this Agreement are in support of the Load Balance
Releases, the Voice Over Data (Screen Pop) Releases, and Activity-based Routing
Releases. Additionally, CGI will handle/develop any Change Requests (CRs)
assigned by the U S WEST Project Manager within the funding limitations of this
Agreement.

                         CGI ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
                         ------------------------------

Based on the defined scope and deliverables, and the architecture design and
detailed design work that has been accomplished through December of 1996 by CGI
and U S WEST (reference the previous U S WEST/CGI Development Agreement
35-003-96), the following roles and responsibilities can be defined for the
Call Handling / FES&R project for 1997:

*   CGI will be responsible for project management for specific modules of
    the overall U S WEST Call Handling architecture. This involvement includes
    the functional specification, detail design, development, test (unit test
    and component integration test), documentation, and delivery of the
    modules outlined below:

LOAD BALANCE
- ------------

*   LOAD BALANCE I - The Load Balance I release will provide equitable routing
    for queued and non-queued Call Handing situations for resource groups. It
    will balance the queues to equal and different teams and performing ratio
    routing. It also provides

                                                                  TASK ORDER # 3


     for a direct data feed from the 5ESS to capture additional parameters
     required for equitable resource routing. For a subset of the toolset
     screens, a sharper GUI that is more efficient with a quick and easy update
     capability will also be provided. The GUI will also provide field level
     validation, consistency checking, and rule validation.

*    LOAD BALANCE II - The Load Balance II release will provide for a direct
     data feed from the DMS 100 to capture additional parameters required for
     equitable resource routing. Provide possible enhancements to Load Balance
     I release.

ACTIVITY-BASED ROUTING
- ----------------------

*    ACCOUNT ACTIVITY (AA) - Customer accounts, identified by a billing
     telephone number, at times have activities associated with them. These
     activities include pending order, pending repair, and collection status.
     The Routing Engine will access and utilize account activity in determining
     a route for a call.

*    PERSISTENT CONDITIONS LOADER (PC) - Persistent conditions are associated
     with individual customer accounts. These originate when a customer
     initiates multiple transactions (calls) of the same type in a given time
     period. The routing engine will use business rules that will indicate the
     routing for a call when a persistent condition for a customer exists.

*    GLOBAL CONDITIONS (GC) - Global Conditions are conditions that apply to
     groups of telephone numbers. Examples are promotions, product trials, and
     disasters. The routing engine will access and utilize global conditions
     that apply in determining a route for a call.

*    INFORMATION REQUEST (PING-PONG) - This module allows Call Handling to
     return to the VRU to request for additional information or to play a voice
     script to the caller. The Information Request is known as Ping Ponging
     since multiple interactions between the VRU and FES&R are possible.

VOICE OVER DATA (SCREEN POP)
- ----------------------------

Voice Over Data (Screen Pop) is a client project which adds new Computer
Telephony Integration and extends call handling to the Customer Contact
Employee's desktop. It pops call information on the Customer Contact Employee's
desktop. This project will be deployed in two releases. The first release
provides screen pop capability for Customer

                                                                  TASK ORDER # 3


Contact Employee's using 5ESS ACDs. The second release provides screen pop
capability for Customer Contact Employees using DMS100 ACDs. The Voice Over
(Screen Pop) modules which CGI is responsible for include:

*    SCREEN POP MANAGER - Screen Pop Manager receives call information, call
     identification and routing information from the routing engine.  Screen
     Pop Manager tracks calls being transferred from VRUs to ACDs.  After calls
     arrive at the ACD Screen Pop Manager receives status about calls
     including: call arrival, call abandoned and call delivery from the Message
     Filters.  Screen Pop Manager matches call information from the routing
     engine with individual calls.  Screen Pop manager tracks the call as it
     moves through the ACD.  When the ACD delivers a call to a Customer Contact
     Employee Screen Pop Manager sends call information to the appropriate Call
     Information Server.

*    MESSAGE FILTERS - For each ACD Listener a Message Filter filters messages
     going to Screen Pop Manager from the ACD Listener. Each ACD type, 5ESS and
     DMS100, requires a filter. The filter translates the ACD messages unique to
     each ACD type into generic messages going to Screen Pop Manager.

*    CALL INFORMATION SERVER - For Voice Over Data - Screen Pop each CCE has a
     NT Workstation on their desktop. Call Information Server runs on the CCE's
     NT Workstation. It receives the call information from the Screen Pop
     Manager. Call Information Server forwards the call information to the Call
     Information Display on the CCE's NT Workstation. Call Information Server
     also provides an interface for other U S WEST applications to receive the
     call information.

*    CALL INFORMATION DISPLAY - Call Information Display receives the call
     information from the Call Information Server. Call Information Display
     displays a window with the appropriate call information.

*    SYAD GUI FOR VOICE OVER DATA - SCREEN POP - The Voice Over Data - Screen
     Pop requires new capabilities be added to the SYAD GUI. The new
     capabilities provide for the maintenance of VRU, workstation and display
     items reference tables.

*    DMS100 ACD LISTENER - The DMS ACD Listener for Voice Over Data - Screen Pop
     uses the CompuCall Computer Telephone Integration interface for the DMS100
     ACD. This listener reads the CompuCall data stream from the DMS100 ACD. It
     decodes the CompuCall messages and forwards the messages to a message
     filter.

ROUTING ENGINE
- --------------

CGI will continue to be involved in Routing Engine enhancements in 1997.
Specific Routing Engine modules that CGI is responsible for include:

*    FES&R INTERFACE SERVER MODULE - This module handles FES&R Server call
     routing requests from the VRU Interface Client Module.

*    CALL CONTROL MANAGER (ROUTING ENGINE) - This module handles an individual
     call, from the receipt of the new call request until a routing message is
     returned for the call. Enhanced routing capabilities will account
     activities, global conditions, persistent conditions and information
     requests.

*    ACD DATA FEED MANAGER - This module receives periodic ACD queue status
     data feeds from the MIS nodes.

*    MARKET PROFILE LOADER - This module accepts the extract file from the
     Marketing Database, parses the market profile associated with each
     customer account into the appropriate attributes, applies the business
     rules to classify and convert the market profile to a market profile
     template and a particular channel function group for routing,  and loads
     the routing table which associates each customer account/TN with the
     appropriate routing pointer/channel functional group for every possible
     call reason per application. This module may also load the market profile
     data associated with each customer account into the FES&R database if
     required for reporting.

*    RATING ENGINE - The Rating Engine is a subsystem that is responsible for
     calculating and maintaining queue and non-queue desirability ratings for
     each Call Handling resource team. The Rating Engine uses embedded
     algorithms and current team status data captured by the ACD Feed and the
     ACD Listener to maintain team desirability rating for use by the CCM. The
     Rating Engine uses the latest team agent and queue status, along with the
     constant factors defined as the team's queue parameters, to generate a
     team's desirability measurement; this is a rating that reflects the team's
     current ability to handle another call effectively.

*    ACD LISTENER - The ACD Listener is composed of two modules, a Listener and
     a Tracker. The ACD Listener receives a data feed from the 5ESS switches
     describing a Resource Group's statistics. An action by an Agent or a call
     state change causes data to be sent to the Listener. The Listener forwards
     messages to the Agent/Call Tracker which updates the database for the
     appropriate Agent's Resource Group.

USER INTERFACE
- --------------

CGI will continue to be involved in Call Handling User Interface enhancement
for 1997. The Call Handling User Interface provides various tool sets to the
user for updating and maintaining data for the Call Handling system.
Information is presented to the user as Hypertext Markup language (HTML), via
the Netscape browser. Users navigate via hypertext links and buttons. A Hyper
Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server is used to deliver the information to the
browser.  Functionality is separated through screens in each of the tool sets.
The system consist of the following tool sets: Market Profile, Resource Groups,
Load Balance, Reports, Reference Tables, and Utilities.

*        CGI will be responsible for transferring the technology developed by
         CGI over to U S WEST.

*        CGI will be responsible for the engineering management of the CGI
         resources and delivery management of the CGI Deliverables.

*        CGI will be responsible for status reporting to U S WEST and
         participating in status meetings.

*        CGI will be responsible for system support (problem tracking and
         resolution) during the integration testing, the system testing, the
         production and user acceptance testing, and the deployment tasks.

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 Alliance Discount has been extended through the temporary
extension of the GLA in anticipation of this Agreement being signed by U S WEST
in 1996. The applicable Volume discount has also been provided.

                            ASSUMPTIONS/DEPENDENCIES
                            ------------------------

The following assumptions/dependencies were developed by CGI in creating the
above Work Plans/Schedules. Changes in the assumptions/dependencies may affect
the associated schedule, costs and deliverables listed in this Agreement. As
part of the normal project status reporting process, CGI will identify issues
and jeopardies caused by any assumption/dependency violations. As appropriate,
jeopardies will indicate that, unless the situation is resolved, a Change Order
to this agreement will have to be issued to resolve unforeseen schedule/cost
impacts.

1. 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
   development process.

2. Other modules/components not being developed/purchased by CGI must be
   in place and configured for the start date for the Integration Testing.
   These include, but are not limited to: U S WEST VRU Scripting, the
   Physical Integration U S WEST Test Database with the Routing tables
   populated integration with all SYAD tool sets, data feeds and new voice
   scripts. It is assumed that Integration Testing will be done using the
   Development Environment.

3. 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.

4. U S WEST is responsible for establishing the User Acceptance Test (UAT)
   environment. The development of the User Acceptance Test Plan and Criteria
   are the responsibility of U S WEST and the Clients.

5. The System Test Environment must be established and made available by 
   U S WEST in accordance with the project plan. Establishment of the
   Environment is the responsibility of the U S WEST System Test Group.

6. Test Plans, Environments, Scenarios and Test Data must be identified by
   U S WEST and in place by the start of the Integration, System Test, and
   User Acceptance 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.

 7. The dates for the final production builds for all releases 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.

 8. Additional, specific CGI assumptions include:

   (a) The detailed design and prototyping tasks need to be completed
       before the programming and unit testing tasks can begin.
   (b) 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
       Releases.

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

10. The Account Activity Module is dependent upon extracts from
    Legacy Systems.  ([         ], [         ], [          ], [          ],

                        EXHIBIT 1 - PROJECT DESCRIPTION
                        -------------------------------
OVERVIEW

This Development Agreement outlines the proposed scope of consulting services
to be performed by Carnegie Group, Inc.(CGI) for U S WEST's Fetch & Stuff
Engine within the overall framework of the Developing Advanced Routine Tools
(DART) strategy. During Phase 1 of the Fetch & Stuff project, CGI provided U S
WEST with a proof of concept "Fetch & Stuff" Engine and associated short term
deliverables that support U S WEST's overall development efforts for the DART
project. This Development Agreement outlines the Fetch & Stuff Phase 2 project
that will provide enhancements and modifications to the proof of concept Fetch
& Stuff Engine and associated client software. The Fetch & Stuff Phase 2
project transitions the Fetch & Stuff Engine into a production level system.

From a conceptual level, CGI proposes to provide 3 releases of software during
the 1997 Fetch & Stuff Phase 2 project. These will occur in 1997 and are
identified as Group A, B and C Project Work Items. These translate as shown
below:

High-level timeframes associated with the Project Work Item groupings shown
above are envisioned as follows:

     * GROUP A - February, March, April - 1997
     * GROUP B - April, May, June, July - 1997
     * GROUP C - July through December - 1997

As Fetch & Stuff is deployed in a staged rollout to production in 1997, CGI
realizes that there may be unanticipated "engine" architecture or strategy
changes necessary to accommodate the needs of the U S WEST client user base. 
As such, we are flexible to re-evaluate the Project Work Items scoped for
completion during the July-December timeframe as necessary. We envision any
significant scope substitutions to be mutually agreed to by U S WEST and CGI,
and, if changes to the resource mix or the overall work hours estimate occurs,
the two companies will mutually execute a Change Order to formally amend this
Development Agreement. As each group of Project Work Items is completed, CGI
and U S WEST will reassess the remaining planned work list for each subsequent
project stage before starting work on the next release group of Project Work
Items.

The CGI deliverables provided under this 3-release 1997 project will provide 
U S WEST with a manageable long term production solution that puts an
architecture and framework in place to support current and future Service
Delivery functions. We believe that this incremental, "staged" approach to the
overall project allows U S WEST to continue to partner with CGI and leverage
business and technical resources to meet the organizational needs of the
project. It also positions both companies to be mutually successful in this
1997 effort.

                           EXHIBIT 2 - ESTIMATED COST
                           --------------------------

COST OVERVIEW

The total cost of the work net of discounts is estimated at $[     ] based on
expected time and material expenses. No travel is anticipated for this project.
Should travel be required, U S WEST agrees to pay CGI travel expenses for all
pre-approved trips.

Work will be provided on a time and materials basis. The cost estimate and
applicable discount breakouts being extended are as shown below. The [ ]%
Alliance Discount has been extended pursuant to the GLA extension executed
between U S WEST and CGI in December, 1996. The [ ]% Facilities Discount
(includes [ ]% computer and [ ]% building discount) is extended under the
assumption that all work will be performed at U S WEST facilities for this
project. CGI has extended the [ ]% Volume Discount in recognition of this being
a significant follow-on to the original proof of concept project, and in
anticipation of this Development Agreement being signed by U S WEST in January
to keep the existing project team in place for the duration of 1997.

ASSUMPTIONS

The above tasks, schedule and deliverables were developed based on the
following assumptions.

1.      The schedule is based on a project start date of February 1, 1997.
        Delays in this start date may impact the estimated enhanced Fetch &
        Stuff Engine production rollout and associated software delivery dates.

2.      The work estimates are based on CGI Methodology and past experience.
        CGI will continuously monitor the status and notify U S WEST of any
        issues or jeopardy situations which may impact the delivery date.

3.      CGI has timely access to U S WEST personnel (i.e. SMEs). CGI assumes
        SME access will begin at Project Start and will continue through the
        duration of the project schedule (i.e. through 12/31/97).

4.      U S WEST to provide a sponsor and Project Manager to act as the liaison
        between the U S WEST project team and the CGI project team.

5.      CGI will work directly with subject matter experts (SMEs) to identify
        highest priority legacy systems and the data required from those legacy
        systems.

6.      Function determination for inclusion in interface evaluation work for
        different operations related to legacy system access will be
        prioritized by U S WEST.

7.      Weekly status reports and meetings to be held between the U S WEST
        project manager the CGI project manager to measure progress against the
        workplan. Any known issues and risks are also discussed and raised to
        the next level if not resolved.

8.      CGI development work will continue to be performed on a Hewlett-Packard
        UNIX server to be provided by U S WEST, unless otherwise notified.

9.      U S WEST to provide any necessary facilities, computer equipment,
        server access, software, etc., by the end of Week 2 (February 15th).

10.     Any delays in dependent tasks (i.e. U S WEST tasks) may impact the
        delivery date.

11.     Changes requests to be submitted using the CGI or U S WEST change
        request process for analysts to provide estimates, costs, and impact on
        current deliverables. Signed approval is required before implementation
        of any changes requests.

                            EXHIBIT 4 - DELIVERABLES
                            ------------------------

DELIVERABLES

A copy of the project deliverables, as outlined below, will be provided to the
appropriate U S WEST recipients. The master copy will contain a letter to be
mutually signed by the parties acknowledging delivery, receipt and acceptance
of the deliverables. Should CGI not receive the signed letter or a written list
of items which are not in compliance with the project specifications within ten
(10) business days after delivery, then the Deliverables shall be deemed
accepted.

DETAILED SCOPE ASSOCIATED WITH AFOREMENTIONED PROJECT WORK ITEMS

The following comprise the scope and deliverables envisioned by CGI for the
Project Work Items associated with each of the three planned software releases
of this project in 1997:

     GROUP A PROJECT WORK ITEMS [FEBRUARY--APRIL, 1997]

     A--1.0 Additional Interface Messages Developed for the Fetch & Stuff Server

     Develop additional interface messages for the Fetch & Stuff server that
     call existing [ ] Transaction APIs to obtain or update data. Examples of
     new [ ] Transaction messages are:

     *     Set Billing Date
     *     Delete TN from Account
     *     Retrieve USOCs

     There are approximately 50 [ ] Transaction messages. In the Fetch & Stuff
     Phase 2, release associated with the Group A Project Work Items, there will
     be time to develop approximately 20 of these messages. Prioritization will
     be needed from the U S WEST DART team to identify the messages that will be
     included in Fetch & Stuff Phase 2, release for Group A Items. The remaining
     [ ] Transaction messages can be completed in future Fetch & Stuff
     development releases, if desired.


37-001-97                              20                       JANUARY 24, 1997


<PAGE>   22



     The effort involved is on a per message basis. There are software changes
     needed on the client application and on the Fetch & Stuff Server Engine to
     define the appropriate message protocol. The Fetch & Stuff Server Engine
     will also need modifications to install data in the routing tables which
     direct each message to a specific API.

     A--2.0 Additional Legacy Data Access Systems

     Fetch & Stuff Phase 2 will provide access to the [ ] Transaction APIs. An
     additional "server engine" will be added to the Fetch & Stuff Engine Server
     to manage access to the [ ] Transaction APIs. It is assumed that the [ ]
     Transactions API is in a stable state, and can be integrated into the Fetch
     & Stuff Engine Server in the same manner as the [ ] APIs.

     The software changes required are to the Fetch & Stuff Server Engine alone.
     The work involves adding a new "server engine" for the [ ] Transaction
     APIs. This work will be married with items described in section 1.0 above,
     to add new interface messages that will request work for the new [ ]
     Transaction engine.

     A--3.0 Inventory Control (Usage Counts) and Defect Tracking Services

     There is a need to maintain data which identifies what clients have been
     using each interface message, along with the results of these usage
     attempts. A data table will be used to collect usage count and defect
     tracking data. Usage counts are the number of requests made for a
     particular service. Defect tracking is how many times a specific interface
     message failed for each possible API. Data will be collected on a per
     message and per client basis. The interface message protocol will need to
     be enhanced to include a client identifier in all messages. The different
     kinds of counts collected will be:

     *    # of requests
     *    # of successes
     *    # of failures (reply returned but with failure code)
     *    # of time-outs (did not receive a reply from legacy API)

     A Web based administration system will be developed that will provide a
     mechanism to display the data collected, by way of "canned" reports. Data
     will be stored in an Oracle database on request from the UNIX processes in
     the Fetch & Stuff Engine Server.

     There will be software changes to the Fetch & Stuff Server Engine to add
     code to collect data. There will also be a totally new element developed to
     provide the Web-based reporting system. A database schema will be defined
     to detail how data will be saved. Pro*C code will be created to write data
     into the new database.



37-001-97                              21                       JANUARY 24, 1997

A--4.0 Product Deployment

Develop items that will be used in support of product deployment, such as:

*    Alarming - Fetch & Stuff was developed with the use of Service Layer
components in mind. These elements need to be added to the existing system.

*    Resolve Problem Reports and make software updates on released software.

The Service Layer software changes are enhancements to the Fetch & Stuff Server
Engine. Administrative processes need to be developed on how to handle alarms.
Software maintenance changes may be in NT client or in the Fetch & Stuff Engine
software.

A--5.0 Documentation

Produce or update the following documents:

*    Updated System Administration Guide
*    Updated Requirements Document
*    Updated Architecture Document
*    Updated Design Document
*    Updated Interface Inventory Document
*    Updated Interface Message Protocol Document
*    Deployment Guide
*    Other documents, as directed by U S WEST

GROUP B PROJECT WORK ITEMS [APRIL--JULY, 1997]

B--1.0 Failover Enhancement

Hardware and Software modifications are needed to manage automatic failover to
another hardware device or software process when major failures occur to the
Interface Server machine or process. Actual HW/SW plans cannot be made until
after the production HW/SW environment is selected. One option is to add
additional hardware (servers) or separate processors on the same server along
with system software to manage the failover. Software tools from HP or Sequent
can be integrated into the Fetch & Stuff environment in order to implement
failover services.

Additional changes are desired to provide appropriate replies whenever there is
a need to communicate information relating to interface message changes or
system problems. The Fetch & Stuff Engine will send a msg back to the client as
each problem occurs. Examples of this are:

*    msg replaced
*    API OOS

<PAGE>   24

B--2.0 Dynamic Routing

Routing tables are used to direct an incoming message to the appropriate server
engine for processing. The proof of concept system was implemented with the
routing tables "hard coded" into the software. Changes are needed to allow for
a dynamic implementation approach to the routing tables. The software changes
will take into account the following items:

*    API Priorities (meaning go to AT API 1st, DA API 2nd, etc.)

*    Whether the table is developed in Oracle or just maintained as a
     matrixed array of data.

B--3.0 Increase Robustness of Fetch & Stuff Server

The current version of Fetch & Stuff Server Engine was implemented as a proof
of concept, to be trialed with a small number of users. In order to increase
robustness system improvements will be implemented for:

*    Performance
*    Scaleability (# of Users)
*    Information Logging
*    Port software to UNIX 10.x

Some items (e.g., information logging) can be implemented by adding Service
Layer elements to the Fetch & Stuff Engine Server. Other items need utilize
data collected about the system after it is completed and has stress tests
applied to it.

B--4.0 Documentation

Produce or update the following documents:

*     Updated System Administration Guide
*     Updated Requirements Document
*     Updated Architecture Document
*     Updated Design Document
*     Updated Interface Inventory Document
*     Updated Interface Message Protocol Document
*     Deployment Guide
*     Other documents, as directed by U S WEST

B--5.0 Load Balancing

Provide hardware or software mechanisms to balance the load of requests being
made to the Fetch & Stuff Interface Server. Load Balancing can be achieved



37-001-97                              23                       JANUARY 24, 1997


<PAGE>   25



dynamically by developing a software process that monitors the arrival rate of
requests, and sends them to another system/processor once a threshold has been
reached. One approach may be to have specific clients' requests designated to
go to a specific server, possibly on a regional basis. Other approaches will
also be evaluated. A final approach will be heavily dependent on the hardware
chosen by U S WEST for the production environment.

GROUP C PROJECT WORK ITEMS [JULY--DECEMBER, 1997]

C--1.0 New Routing Destinations

Currently, the Fetch & Stuff Server Engine services fetch and stuff requests
from a client and returns a reply to the same client. A desired option for
Fetch & Stuff is that the application that requests data is not the application
to receive data. Additional message protocol and Fetch & Stuff Server Engine
modifications are needed to direct the resulting data to the appropriate
destination. An applications that this would be appropriate for is Call
Handling.

There will be "engine" functionality changes to recognize the protocol which
directs data to the receiving client. Software will also need to be changed on
the receiving client application's system, so that it knows what to do with a
data message being received. Finally, an effort will be required to define the
message protocol for each new interface message.

C--2.0 Routing Administration Environment

If dynamic routing tables are implemented as described above, then there will
be a need to make changes to these routing tables as production rollout
continues and data is obtained on the performance of specific APIs. A
presentation system should be implemented to add, change or delete routing
table entries. This could be done in JAVA or another GUI of U S WEST's
choosing.

Updating the routing tables will be a system administration task. A
presentation system will be very useful so that the routing table data does not
get inadvertently corrupted.

C--3.0 One Stop Shopping

This envisions the U S WEST software environment for DA and AT run on the same
hardware server as the Fetch & Stuff server engine. This, in turn, would
eliminate the need for an unnecessary "hop" to a DA or AT server before
accessing the legacy systems to process a client request. Integration test of
all software on the Fetch & Stuff production hardware is needed to successfully
complete this Project Work Item.

                           -------------------------

This Letter Agreement dated March 25, 1997 is in regard to Development
Agreement No. 35-001-97 dated December 31, 1997, and constitutes an amendment
to portions of the Development Agreement and to one or more of the Exhibits
attached thereto, in accordance with Article 11 of the Development Agreement.

At the request of U S WEST's Call Handling Project Manager, CGI will complement
the current Call Handling 1997 efforts by providing additional CGI resources in
support of newly recognized project needs to be incorporated into the ongoing
project. The time period in which the additional CGI resources will work is
currently estimated to be March 24, 1997 through September 30, 1997.

These additional efforts require the addition of one (1) CGI resource who is
working as a Manager to assist in the Repair area, more specifically to provide
client management needed to make Repair successful within the Call Handling
architecture for an estimated period of six (6) months beginning March 24,
1997.

Such management services are currently being provided by Thornton Bell, CGI
Senior Business Consultant, at the [ ] CGI Manager rate in consideration for 
U S WEST's commitment to a six (6) month engagement term for this new CGI 
Manager position in the Repair area.

Also required is the addition of one (1) CGI resource who will work as a Senior
Engineer II ("SE2") to provide consulting services including assessing the
overall network performance and making recommendations for architecture design
and detailed design improvements within the Call Handling /FES&R system, under
U S WEST's direction. These consulting services at the SE2 level are estimated
to be provided over a period of ten (10) weeks between the period of April 1,
1997 and July 31, 1997.

This Amendment includes additional funding in the amount of $[     ] to the
original work scoped in Development Agreement 35-001-97. The Projected Cost and
Payment for the Project in Article 5 of the Development Agreement have been
increased by $[     ] to $[     ].

Exhibit 2 - Estimated Cost is amended as attached.

This Amendment describes the expanded scope, in accordance with the
current intent of the parties, for which the Call Handling - 1997
Development Agreement is being modified hereunder. It is intent of the
parties that the new services to be provided by CGI under this Amendment
will be incorporated into the ongoing effort under the 35-001-97
Development Agreement without interruption. Such services will continue
to be provided by CGI under this Development Agreement and Amendment as
subject to change in accordance with U S WEST direction and additional
amendments or change orders.

Except as expressly set forth in this Letter Agreement, the terms of the
Development Agreement and all signed amendments shall remain in full
force and effect.

                           EXHIBIT 2 - ESTIMATED COST

COST OVERVIEW

The total cost of the work net of discounts is estimated at $[     ]
based on expected time and material expenses, which represents an
increase of $[     ] above the original funding approved for Call
Handling - 1997 of $[     ]. No travel is anticipated for this project.
Should travel be required, U S WEST agrees to pay CGI travel expenses
for all pre-approved trips.

Work will be provided on a time and materials basis. The cost estimate and
applicable discount breakouts being extended are as shown below. The [ ]%
Alliance Discount has been extended pursuant to the GLA extension executed
between U S WEST and CGI in March, 1997. The [ ]% Facilities Discount (includes
[ ]% computer and [ ]% building discount) is extended under the assumption that
all work will be performed at U S WEST facilities for this project. 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.  CGI has also extended the applicable Volume Discount of [ ]%.

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.
