           Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations reflect the
consolidated results of operations of Renaissance (the "Company") after the sale
of its Enterprise Solutions Group as discussed in Item 2 above as though it had
occurred at the beginning of each period presented.  The unaudited pro forma
consolidated statements of operations have been prepared by the Company based
upon the assumptions and adjustments it has deemed appropriate.  The Company's
pro forma consolidated statements of operations primarily reflect the
elimination of the Enterprise Solutions Group results of operations as
historically reported under SFAS 131 and the associated tax provision for the
group on a stand-alone basis.

Pro forma information reflecting the sale of the Enterprise Solutions Group as
of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was presented in the
Company's Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2000. The
unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations included in this
filing restate the Company's statements of operations for the year ended June
28, 1997, the six month transition period ended December 27, 1997 and for the
years ended December 26, 1998 and December 25, 1999.

The following unaudited pro forma information may not necessarily reflect the
consolidated results of operations of the Company which would have actually
resulted had the transaction occurred for the periods indicated.  The unaudited
pro forma information should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual
Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the relevant time
periods.
