                    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                  (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
                                    (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The financial information included herein for the three-month and nine-month
periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 is unaudited; however, such information
reflects all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments which
are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim
periods.  The financial information as of June 30, 1997 is derived from the
audited financial statements included in Claremont Technology Group, Inc.'s (the
Company's) 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The interim consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's 1997 Annual Report on
Form 10-K.

The results of operations for the interim period presented are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For ease of
presentation, the periods ended March 27, 1998 and March 28, 1997 are referred
to herein as ending March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997, respectively.

NOTE 2.  BUSINESS LOAN AGREEMENT
In December 1997, the Company's business loan agreement (the "Agreement"), dated
August 21, 1997, was amended to increase the total amount of available credit to
$5,000 and to decrease the interest rate to the bank's reference rate, the
offshore rate plus 1.75 percent or LIBOR plus 1.75 percent.  In addition, the
term of the Agreement, as amended, calls for the repayment of principal and
interest in twenty successive monthly installments of $61 starting September 1,
1997.  On March 31, 2000, any remaining principal and interest will be due.  The
line of credit portion of the Agreement has $3,000 available credit through
September 1, 1998.  At March 31, 1998, the Company had no amounts outstanding
under the Agreement.

NOTE 3.  SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN
On February 5, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend
distribution of one Right for each outstanding share of the Company's Common
Stock, no par value, on February 20, 1998.  Each Right, when exercisable,
entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-hundredth of
a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock") at
a price of $82.50 per one-hundredth share, subject to adjustment.  Initially,
the Rights will be attached to all certificates representing shares of the
Company's Common Stock, and no separate certificates evidencing the Rights will
be distributed.  The Rights will separate from the Common Stock and a
distribution of Rights certificates will occur upon the earlier to occur of (i)
10 days following a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or
associated persons (an "Acquiring Person") has acquired, or obtained the right
to acquire, beneficial ownership of 15 percent or more of the outstanding shares
of the Company's Common Stock (the "Stock Acquisition Date") or (ii) 10 business
days (or such later date as the Board of Directors may determine) following the
commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer the consummation of which would
result in the beneficial ownership by a person of 15


                                          5
<PAGE>

percent or more of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock (the
earlier of such dates being called the "Distribution Date").

The Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date and will expire at 
the close of business on February 5, 2008, unless earlier redeemed or 
exchanged by the Company.  The Company may redeem the Rights in whole, but 
not in part, at any time until ten days following the Stock Acquisition Date, 
at a price of $0.01 per Right (payable in cash, Common Stock of the Company 
or other consideration deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors).

On April 8, 1998 the Company entered into an Amendment (the "First 
Amendment") to the Rights Agreement dated February 5, 1998 between the 
Company and ChaseMellon Shareholder Services, L.L.C. to the effect that 
neither Complete Business Solutions, Inc. ("CBSI") or any of their affiliates 
shall become an Acquiring Person (as defined in the Rights Agreement) by 
reason of the execution of a merger agreement. (See Note 7).

NOTE 5.  EARNINGS PER SHARE
Beginning December 31, 1997, basic earnings per share (EPS) and diluted EPS are
computed using the methods prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE (SFAS 128). Basic EPS is calculated using
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and
diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and
dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding.   Prior period amounts have been
restated to conform with the presentation requirements of SFAS 128.  Following
is a reconciliation of basic EPS and diluted EPS:

NOTE 6.  RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified 
to conform to the current year presentation.

NOTE 7.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On April 9, 1998, the Company announced the signing of a definitive merger 
agreement with CBSI for approximately 7.2 million shares of CBSI common 
stock, recently valued at approximately $285 million.  Completion of the 
merger is subject to governmental filings and formal approval of both CBSI's 
and the Company's shareholders.  The merger is currently expected to close in 
the third calendar quarter of 1998.  Based on CBSI's average per share 
closing price for the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the fourth full 
trading day prior to final closing of the merger, shareholders of the 
Company's Common Stock will receive between 0.617849 and 0.8359133 shares of 
CBSI Common Stock for each share of the Company's Common Stock.  Based on a 
recent CBSI price of $30.219 per share, shareholders of the Company's Common 
Stock would receive .8359133 shares of CBSI for each share of the Company's 
Common Stock held.

</TABLE>


The Company's revenue consists primarily of professional fees (including 
license fees for Claremont's reusable software modules), and to a lesser 
extent resold hardware and software products and resold contract services and 
other revenue. Other revenue consists of license fees and maintenance fees, 
which began in December 1996 and service bureau revenue associated with the 
Company's acquisition of OpTex in July 1997.  The Company's professional fees 
increased 19.0% to $21.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 
compared to $18.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997.  
Professional fees increased 33.0% to $63.0 million for the nine months ended 
March 31, 1998 compared to $47.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 
1997. Professional fees increased primarily due to an increase in the number 
of projects performed both for new and existing clients.  The manufacturing 
and state and local government practices contributed a majority of the 
increases. Revenue from foreign operations increased to $1.2 million and $4.8 
million, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 
1998, compared to $0.9 million and $4.0 million, respectively, for the 
comparable periods ended March 31, 1997. The increase resulted primarily from 
a full period inclusion of results from foreign acquisitions that occurred in 
fiscal 1997. The Company's top five clients accounted for 43% of revenues for 
the nine months ended March 31, 1998 compared to 45% for the nine months 
ended March 31, 1997. Resold products and services are offered to clients on 
an as-needed basis and are resold with little or no mark-up.  The Company 
does not expect resold products and services to contribute materially to its 
income from operations, and generally expects to make little or no profit on 
such products and services. The Company expects to provide such products and 
services only as an accommodation to the Company's clients as requested for 
particular projects.

Project costs and expenses consist primarily of salaries and employee benefits
for personnel dedicated to client projects and associated overhead costs
including equipment depreciation and amortization.  Project costs and expenses
increased to $12.7 million and $36.8 million,


                                          8
<PAGE>

respectively (59% and 58% of professional fees, respectively), for the three 
and nine month periods ended March 31, 1998 from $9.9 million and $24.8 
million, respectively (54% and 52% of professional fees, respectively), for 
the comparable periods ended March 31, 1997. The increases in absolute 
dollars and as a percentage of professional fees, are primarily a result of 
lower utilization rates during the quarter and year to date 1998 periods 
compared to the prior year periods as well as approximately $0.2 million of 
severance and warranty costs recognized during the third quarter of 1998.

Selling, general and administrative costs and expenses consist of costs 
associated with the Company's executive staff, finance, facilities and human 
resources departments (collectively, "Administrative Personnel"), travel and 
business development costs. Selling, general and administrative costs and 
expenses increased to $8.7 million and $25.4 million, respectively (40% and 
40% of professional fees, respectively), for the three and nine month periods 
ended March 31, 1998 from $6.4 million and $16.6 million, respectively (35% 
and 35% of professional fees, respectively), for the comparable periods ended 
March 31, 1997. The increase is due to increases in professional development 
and recruiting expenses associated with the increased professional personnel, 
increased facility expenses associated with increased space needs resulting 
from increased software development efforts performed at Company facilities 
rather than at client locations and increased numbers of Administrative 
Personnel. Additionally, there was approximately $0.6 million of bad debt
expense and other costs associated with reserves established against 
accounts receivable and revenue earned in excess of billings for certain 
long-term contracts. Selling, general and administrative costs and expenses 
for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 also include $360,000 related to the 
write-off of in-process research and development related to the OpTex 
acquisition.

The Company had a total of 780 professional and administrative personnel at
March 31, 1998.

During the third quarter of 1998, the Company recorded a non-recurring charge of
$7.5 million.  The charge consisted primarily of $1.2 million in severance
payments associated with the executive changes announced in February 1998 and a
5% reduction in force, $4.3 million reduction in the capitalized software
associated with the Communications Practice's Premost billing product and $2.0
million associated with the streamlining of worldwide operations and impairment
of certain long-lived and fixed assets.  The reduction of the capitalized
software  amount associated with the Premost billing product was based on
management's identification of the lack of evidence of a viable sales pipeline
for this product.

During the third quarter of 1998, the Company did not record a tax benefit
associated with the loss for the period, as the benefit of the loss in the U.S.
jurisdictions was offset by the reversal of previously recorded foreign tax
benefits related to foreign loss carryforwards.  During the quarter, it was
determined that it is no longer more likely than not that the benefit of the
available loss carryforwards will be realized.  In addition, the Company did not
record a benefit for current period foreign losses because management believes
it is more likely than not that no benefit for the losses will be realized in
the near-term.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash decreased $4.7 million during the first nine months of fiscal 1998
primarily as a result of $3.2 million related to acquisitions, $3.3 million for
the purchase of property and equipment,


                                          9
<PAGE>

$4.2 million for software development costs and $1.4 million payments on debt,
offset by $6.7 million provided by operations and $0.7 million provided by the
exercise of stock options.

At March 31, 1998, the Company had working capital of $26.6 million, including
$10.5 million of cash and cash equivalents.  The Company's current ratio
decreased to 3.7:1 at March 31, 1998 from 5.5:1 at June 30, 1997.

Accounts receivable decreased $2.3 million to $11.5 million at March 31, 1998
from $13.8 million at June 30, 1997 primarily as a result of increased
collection efforts by the Company.  Days sales outstanding were 54 at March 31,
1998 compared to 66 at June 30, 1997. The Company experienced an increase in
past due accounts (defined as accounts outstanding more than 60 days) to $1.0
million at March 31, 1998 compared to $529,000 at June 30, 1997.

Revenue earned in excess of billings, which represents amounts due to the
Company under certain long-term contracts, primarily from government entities,
that can not be billed until certain milestones are met, increased $3.2 million
to $9.7 million at March 31, 1998 from $6.5 million at June 30, 1997.  Of the
$9.7 million, $8.1 million is related to two clients, California PERS and
Mississippi PERS.  The Company continues to work closely with its clients to
attempt to reduce the collection cycle of this asset group.

During the first nine months of fiscal 1998, the Company had capital
expenditures of $3.3 million, primarily related to furniture and personal
computers, and $4.2 million associated with the capitalization of software
development costs.  As of March 31, 1998, the Company did not have any material
commitments for capital expenditures.

As of March 31, 1998, the Company had a total of $7.4 million of capitalized 
software development costs associated with Clarety, one of the Company's 
reusable software modules. The Clarety product includes various third party 
software components some of which have incurred technological advancements.  
The Company is evaluating the design work of Clarety to quantify the amount 
of rework, if any, necessary to stay aligned with the technology market place 
and to keep Clarety as a viable solution.  To the extent capitalized software 
development costs are greater than the potential revenue associated with the 
developed software, the Company would be required to immediately expense such 
excess amount under SFAS 86.  The amount of the excess required to be 
expensed in any particular period may be as much as the total amount of 
capitalized software development costs then carried on the Company's balance 
sheet, depending on the potential revenue associated with the developed 
software at such time.  Recognition of such expenses, if any, could have a 
material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.

Goodwill increased to $3.0 million at March 31, 1998 from $30 at June 30, 1997
as a result of acquisitions that occurred during the first quarter of fiscal
1998.

In December 1997, the Company's business loan agreement (the "Agreement"), dated
August 21, 1997, was amended to increase the total amount of available credit to
$5,000 and to decrease the interest rate to the bank's reference rate, the
offshore rate plus 1.75 percent or LIBOR plus 1.75 percent.  In addition, the
term of the Agreement, as amended, calls for the repayment of principal and
interest in twenty successive monthly installments of


                                          10
<PAGE>

$61 starting September 1, 1997.  On March 31, 2000, any remaining principal and
interest will be due.  The line of credit portion of the Agreement has $3,000
available credit through September 1, 1998.  At March 31, 1998, the Company had
no balance outstanding under the Agreement.  The Agreement is secured by all
machinery and equipment and receivables of the Company and contains certain
financial ratio and other covenants.  As of the date of this report, the Company
was in compliance with all such covenants.

On April 9, 1998, the Company announced the signing of a definitive merger
agreement with Complete Business Solutions, Inc. ("CBSI") for approximately 7.2
million shares of CBSI common stock, recently valued at approximately $285
million.  Completion of the merger is subject to governmental filings and formal
approval of both CBSI's and the Company's shareholders.  The merger is currently
expected to close in the third calendar quarter of 1998.  Based on CBSI's
average per share closing price for the 20 consecutive trading days ending on
the fourth full trading day prior to final closing of the merger, shareholders
of the Company's Common Stock will receive between 0.617849 and 0.8359133 shares
of CBSI Common Stock for each share of the Company's Common Stock.  Based on a
recent CBSI price of $39.3125 per share, shareholders of the Company's Common
Stock would receive 0.6868 shares of CBSI for each share of the Company's Common
Stock held.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In October 1997, the AICPA issued Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, "Software
Revenue Recognition", which supercedes SOP 91-1.  The Company will adopt SOP
97-2 for software transactions entered into beginning July 1, 1998.  SOP 97-2
generally requires revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple
elements to be allocated to each element based on the relative fair values of
the elements.  The revenue allocated to software products generally is
recognized upon delivery of the products.  The revenue allocated to
post-contract customer support generally is recognized ratably over the term of
the support and revenue allocated to service elements generally is recognized as
the services are performed.  The impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements is not expected to be material.

In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130").  This statement establishes
standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components
in a full set of general purpose financial statements.  The objective of SFAS
130 is to report a measure of all changes in equity of an enterprise that result
from transactions and other economic events of the period other than
transactions with owners.  The Company expects to adopt SFAS 130 for its fiscal
year beginning July 1, 1998 and does not expect comprehensive income to be
materially different from currently reported net income.

In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No.
131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information"
("SFAS 131").  This statement establishes standards for the way that public
business enterprises report information about operating segments in interim and
annual financial statements.  It also establishes standards for related
disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers.
