Stockholders and Board of Directors
Caribiner International, Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Caribiner
International, Inc. as of June 30, 1996, and the related consolidated
statements of operations for the three months and nine months ended June 30,
1996 and 1995, the consolidated statements of changes in stockholders' equity
(deficit) for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 and the consolidated
statements of cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, which will be
performed for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion
regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not
express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements referred
to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Caribiner International, Inc. as
of September 30, 1995, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended, not
presented herein, and in our report dated November 22, 1995, except for Note 14
as to which the date is March 4, 1996, we expressed an unqualified opinion on
those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set
forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1995,
is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated
balance sheet from which it has been derived.

                  Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  (Unaudited)

1.   Interim Financial Information


     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Caribiner
     International, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with
     generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
     and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
     Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
     required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
     financial statements. In the opinion of management, the consolidated
     financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal
     recurring adjustments, considered necessary to present fairly the
     consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of
     the Company. The results of operations for the nine-month period ended
     June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations
     that may be expected for any other interim period or for the fiscal year
     ending September 30, 1996.

     The balance sheet at September 30, 1995 has been derived from the
     Company's audited financial statements at that date, but does not include
     all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
     accounting principles for complete financial statements.

2.   Initial Public Offering

     On March 15, 1996, the Company completed the initial public offering (the
     "IPO") of 2,877,985 shares of its common stock, including 459,779 shares
     granted to the underwriters upon exercise of their over-allotments, for
     $17.00 per share. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $43.0
     million after deducting underwriting discounts and expenses. Proceeds of
     approximately $25.6 million were used to repay all outstanding bank
     borrowings and substantially all other long-term indebtedness (including
     accrued interest), and to pay accrued preferred stock dividends. The
     remaining proceeds are available to fund working capital needs, to make
     acquisitions and for general corporate purposes.

     Immediately prior to the consummation of the IPO, the following
     transactions occurred:

     a)   The Company's $12 million, 11.5% Convertible Promissory Note (the
          "Convertible Note") was converted by the holder thereof into 600,000
          shares of convertible preferred stock, which were immediately
          converted into 2,055,000 shares of common stock. Upon conversion,
          approximately $165,000 of unamortized debt issuance costs relating to
          the Convertible Note were charged to additional paid in capital;

                                       7
<PAGE>

     b)   Shares of convertible preferred stock outstanding on March 15, 
  1996 (other than shares of convertible preferred stock issued 
  upon conversion of the Convertible Note) were converted into 
  1,541,250 shares of common stock;

     c)   All shares of non-voting common stock outstanding under the Company's
          1993 Management Stock Plan (the "Management Stock Plan") were

          converted without any action on the part of the holders thereof into
          664,450 shares of voting common stock, and such Management Stock Plan
          was then terminated; and

     d)   Outstanding warrants to purchase 534,505 shares of common stock, which
          were issued in connection with one of the Company's loan facilities,
          were exercised by the holder thereof for an aggregate exercise price
          of approximately $1.7 million.

     All share and per share data have been retroactively adjusted to reflect
     a 3.425-for-1 stock split completed prior to the IPO on March 4, 1996.

3.   Management Stock

     During the three months ended December 31, 1995, the Company sold common
     stock pursuant to the Management Stock Plan at a price lower than its fair
     market value and recorded non-cash compensation expense of $93,000 during
     such period. Upon consummation of the IPO in March, 1996, the Company
     incurred an additional non-cash compensation charge of $979,000 in
     connection with the immediate vesting of such stock.

4.   Business Acquisitions

     During the nine months ended June 30, 1996, the Company acquired certain
     assets and assumed certain liabilities of three companies engaged in
     providing business communications services.

     In January, 1996, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of
     Koors, Perry & Associates, Inc. ("Koors, Perry"), a regional business
     communications services provider based in Atlanta, Georgia. The
     initial purchase price for the acquisition consisted of $2.5 million in
     cash, which was financed by an additional drawing on one of the Company's
     credit facilities, a promissory note for $1.5 million payable over three
     years and the assumption of certain liabilities.

     In June, 1996, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and
     assumed certain of the liabilities of Lighthouse, Ltd. ("Lighthouse"), a
     business communications services company headquartered in Rolling Meadows,
     Illinois, for an aggregate consideration of approximately $5.3 million in
     cash and approximately $1.0 million in common stock of the Company (31,821
     shares). 

     Additionally, in June, 1996, the Company acquired all of the stock of SCH
     International Limited (formerly known as Spectrum Communications Holdings
     International Limited) ("Spectrum"), a London-based business
     communications services company.
                                       8

<PAGE>

     The initial purchase price was approximately $5.0 million, which was
     financed from the Company's working capital.

     The acquisition of each of Koors, Perry and Spectrum provides for

     contingent payments for three years following the purchase dates based
     upon the achievement of certain performance goals. Contingent payments are
     accounted for as additional purchase price as they become known.

     The accounting for these acquisitions is in accordance with the purchase
     method and accordingly, operations of the acquired businesses are included
     in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations from
     their effective dates of acquisition. 

     The unaudited consolidated pro forma revenue of the Company for the nine
     months ended June 30, 1996, assuming these acquisitions took place as of
     October 1, 1995, would have been approximately $118.8 million.  The pro
     forma effect of the acquisitions on the Company's net income for the nine
     month period ended June 30, 1996 was immaterial.

5.   Pro Forma Net Income Per Common Share

     Pro forma net income per common share is calculated using the weighted
     average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the respective
     periods. Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange
     Commission, common stock issued under the Management Stock Plan and
     warrants to purchase common stock issued at prices below the initial
     public offering price per share during the twelve months immediately
     preceding the date of the initial filing of the Company's Registration
     Statement on Form S-1 have also been included in the calculation of common
     shares, using the treasury stock method, as if they were outstanding for
     all periods presented. In addition, shares of common stock issued upon the
     conversion of all shares of convertible preferred stock into shares of
     common stock are included in the calculation as if they were outstanding
     for all periods presented.

     The weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during
     each of the three and nine months ended June 30, 1996 is 9,506,730 and
     7,778,301, respectively. The weighted average number of shares of common
     stock outstanding during each of the three months and nine months ended
     June 30, 1995 is 6,620,003.

     Assuming the issuance and sale of only that number of shares of common
     stock which would have generated net proceeds sufficient to repay
     indebtedness of $25.6 million, and assuming that such indebtedness had
     been repaid as of the beginning of each period presented, supplementary
     pro forma net income per share would have been $0.62 and $0.23 for the
     nine months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. For purposes of
     this computation, the weighted average number of shares of common stock
     outstanding during the nine months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 is
     8,746,300 and 8,237,270, respectively.

          Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

                           and Results of Operations


Results of Operations

Nine Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to
     Nine Months Ended June 30, 1995

Revenue. Revenue increased $47.7 million, or 92%, to $99.8 million in the nine
months ended June 30, 1996 from $52.1 million in the nine months ended June 30,
1995. The increase resulted primarily from expanded activities from existing
clients, projects for new clients and the acquisition of other business
communications services companies.

Contributing to the increase were a product launch for an existing
pharmaceutical client, a franchisee meeting for a new food services client,
sales meetings in connection with a triennial event held by a financial
services client, and increased business from both existing clients and clients
developed through acquisitions. Approximately $3.0 million of the increase
resulted from new model introduction meetings for certain import automotive
clients held in the quarter ended December 31, 1995, which had, in earlier
years, been held in the Company's previous fiscal quarter.

Gross profit. Gross profit increased 90% to $32.8 million in the nine months
ended June 30, 1996 from $17.3 million in the same period of 1995, primarily as
a result of the revenue growth described above. As a percentage of revenue,
gross profit decreased to 32.9% in the nine-month period ended June 30, 1996
from 33.2% in the prior comparable period as a result of changes in project
mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $8.0 million, or 59%, to $21.6 million in the
nine-month period ended June 30, 1996 from $13.6 million in the nine-month
period ended June 30, 1995. The increase is attributable primarily to the
addition of new offices and personnel resulting from acquisitions and in
support of other revenue growth, as well as normal inflationary increases. The
$1.1 million nonrecurring, non-cash compensation charge was the result of the
vesting of common stock sold pursuant to the Company's management stock plan at
a price lower than its fair market value. Excluding the effect of the
nonrecurring non-cash compensation charge of $1.1 million, pro forma net income
per common share would have been $0.70 for the nine months ended June 30, 1996.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense for the
nine months ended June 30, 1996 was $2.1 million, an increase of $0.4 million,
or 28%, as compared to $1.7 million for the corresponding period in the prior
year. This increase was primarily due to the purchase of computer equipment and
goodwill from acquisitions.

                                       10
<PAGE>

Interest expense. Interest expense with related parties decreased $0.5 million
due to the repayment and conversion of debt as of March 15, 1996 in connection
with the initial public offering. Other interest expense, net decreased due to

a lower average borrowing level, the repayment of outstanding balances as of
March 15, 1996 in connection with the initial public offering, and interest
income earned on the proceeds from the offering.

Income (loss) Before Taxes. Income (loss) before taxes increased to $6.4 million
in the nine months ended June 30, 1996 from a loss of $0.4 million in the nine 
months ended June 30, 1995.

Taxes. Taxes reflect an allocation based on the full year anticipated effective
tax rate. For the nine months ended June 30, 1995, there were losses before
taxes and, accordingly, an assumed benefit has been reflected.


Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to
     Three Months Ended June 30, 1995

Revenue. Revenue increased $26.5 million, or 122%, to $48.1 million in the
three months ended June 30, 1996 from $21.6 million in the three months ended
June 30, 1995. The increase resulted primarily from expanded activities from
existing clients, projects for new clients and the acquisition of other
business communications services companies. Contributing to the increase were a
global marketing meeting for a new food services client, sales meetings in
connection with a triennial event held by a financial services client and
increased business from both existing clients and clients developed through
acquisitions.

Gross profit. Gross profit increased 107% to $15.6 million in the three months
ended June 30, 1996 from $7.5 million in the same period of 1995, primarily as
a result of the revenue growth described above. As a percentage of revenue,
gross profit decreased to 32.3% in the three months ended June 30, 1996 from
34.8% in the three months ended June 30, 1995 as a result of changes in project
mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $3.5 million, or 73%, to $8.2 million in the
three-month period ended June 30, 1996 from $4.7 million in the three-month
period ended June 30, 1995. The increase is attributable primarily to the
addition of new offices and personnel resulting from acquisitions and in
support of other revenue growth, as well as normal inflationary increases.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense for the
three months ended June 30, 1996 was $0.8 million, representing an increase of
$0.3 million, or 52%, as compared to $0.5 million for the corresponding period
in the prior year. This increase was primarily due to the purchase of computer
equipment and goodwill from acquisitions.

Interest expense. Interest expense with related parties decreased due to the
repayment and conversion of debt as of March 15, 1996 in connection with the
initial public offering. Other interest (income) expense, net decreased due to
a lower average borrowing level, the repayment of outstanding balances as of
March 15, 1996 in connection with the initial public offering, and interest

income earned on the proceeds from the offering.

Income Before Taxes.  Income before taxes increased to $6.8 million in the 
three months ended June 30, 1996 from $1.3 million in the three months ended 
June 30, 1995.

Taxes.  Taxes reflect an allocation based on the Company's estimate of its 
annual effective tax rate.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has a bank line of credit (the "Line of Credit") which provides up
to $12 million to handle working capital requirements. The Line of Credit,
which is secured by trade receivables, is effective through April 1, 1997 and
is renewable upon mutual consent each year thereafter as of April 1st. In
addition, the Company has a term facility (the "Term Facility") which has been
used primarily to fund acquisitions and provides up to a maximum of $15
million. Principal on the Term Facility is payable on a quarterly basis with
final maturity on June 30, 1997. Outstanding amounts under each of the Line of
Credit and the Term Facility bear interest at the lender's prime rate plus 1%.
As of June 30, 1996, there were no outstanding balances under either the Line
of Credit or the Term Facility.

The following table sets forth certain information from the Company's
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine-month periods ended June 30,
1996 and 1995:

                                               Nine Months Ended June 30,
                                                 1996             1995
                                             ------------     ------------
Net cash provided by (used in):
     Operating activities                    $ (4,474,914)    $    55,788
     Investing activities                     (15,426,471)     (3,787,073)
     Financing activities                      26,645,162       3,515,346


For the nine months ended June 30, 1996, $4.5 million was used in operating
activities. The net loss adjusted for depreciation and amortization and the
non-cash compensation charge of $1.1 million provided $7.4 million. The net
change in working capital used $11.8 million, with increases in deferred
income, accrued expenses and accounts payable, more than offset by increases in
accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, and a decrease
in accrued interest. Investing activities required $15.4 million due to
acquisition-related expenditures and property and equipment additions.
Financing activities provided $26.6 million in the nine-month period ended June
30, 1996, of which 

                                       12
<PAGE>

an aggregate of $44.9 million of net proceeds were received
during the period from the issuance of common stock and the exercise of
warrants to purchase common stock and $3.0 million was provided by the Term

Loan, offset by $21.1 million used to repay all outstanding bank borrowings
and substantially all other long-term indebtedness, and pay all accrued
preferred stock dividends. In addition, $0.2 million was used to repurchase 
common stock during the period.

For the nine months ended June 30, 1995, operating activities provided
approximately $0.1 million. The net loss adjusted for depreciation and
amortization used $1.3 million. The net change in working capital used $1.2
million with increases in trade accounts receivable, deferred charges, prepaid
expenses and other assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities, partially
offset by increases in deferred income and accrued interest payable. Investing
activities required $3.8 million due to acquisition-related expenditures and
property and equipment additions. Financing activities provided $3.5 million in
the nine-month period ended June 30, 1995 from the Line of Credit and the Term
Facility to fund working capital requirements and acquisitions.

Capital expenditures were $1.7 million and $1.4 million during the nine-month
periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, with the purchase of
additional personal computers and expanded capabilities for the computer system
accounting for the largest areas of expenditure.


Taxes

The Company's effective tax rate for fiscal 1995 was 15.7%, which is lower than
the statutory tax rate, primarily resulting from the utilization of federal and
state net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards. The Company's anticipated
effective tax rate for 1996, reflecting use of the NOL carryforwards, is
approximately 35%. After the available NOL carryforwards have been fully
recognized, the Company expects to reflect a tax rate in accordance with
statutory tax rates adjusted for book/tax differences such as non-deductible
expenses.
